I have been so busy around these ol’ parts decorating and making, baking and crafting. I am really in the spirit of Christmas. I am once again joining NewlyWoodwards DIY project.
This weeks challenge: Dare to … deck the halls!
Make something new to deck your halls. Did you find something in a catalog that you wish you had? Wreaths, stockings, pillows or advent calendars?
This Christmas was a little different. Things needed to be BABY proof. No small items, no glass decorations and everything needed to fit high up on a shelf.
So here are a few creations of my own.
I made tissue paper poinsettias for the tree this year. They really added a bit of color and an over all feel or joy to the tree. I also made paper Christmas ornaments. Easy, reusable, and not worried if the dinosaur gets his paws on them. I went on a hunt in the back yard for some pine cones and tied them together. I broke out the Balsam and Ceder Yankee Candle. MY FAVORITE.
Next up My front door Wreath. If you have been following me, the wreath changes for the fall season , Summer Time, and holidays.
I used real pine that I cut from a tree in my back yard. An old bell from an ornament that fell off 2 years ago. I think it turned out charming! And the best part. It was ALL FREE.
Next up. The Tree and Mantel, and of course some pictures of my cutie pies.
I have been busy around here DIYing the Halls.

you have been busy! nice job!! i love the little hats on the silhouettes!
Dont you just love those silhouettes? I did them for out wedding 2 1/2 years ago. I thought, well I should keep these out and just put santa hats on them. ANd it worked well for this holiday. Thanks for noticing that I have been busy. I sure feel like i have, and I am enjoying every crafty moment I can get. Thanks so much for stopping by to say hello.
Great ideas! They all look so nice!
Thanks so much Amanda. I was a busy elf this year.
Everything looks so nice. I’m esp. digging the paper pointsettias on the tree. What a clever idea! We don’t have kids, but we also have to be careful with breakable things because we have a naughty dog. Two years ago, he knocked over an entire tree! Ugh!
Thanks so much for linking up to Dare to DIY!
Everything looks great! I love those silhouettes! I really want to do some of my family!
Thanks so much Keri for stopping by. The silhouettes are not to hard to do. Just a little time consuming. It would be cute to do your whole family and hang them in the oval frames.
