The Saturday before Halloween, my Sister was decorating one of her clients house for Christmas. She asked if I would like to help her, to which I replied, "Yes, of course, ...duh...YES!" ha ha This meant an entire day without kiddo's doing what I love to do!...and let me tell you, it. was. wonderful! =)
While my Sister decorated an 11 foot tree and staircase, I worked on these...
The lady had bought this one from a boutique...
I haven't seen anything like it before, but isn't that the coolest idea?
Wouldn't they be great Christmas gifts?
These are the ones I made...
(I don't have any step-by-step pictures, but I used a hot glue gun to adhere everything to the frame. I would kind of arrange things how I wanted them before actually gluing down.)
~ Leopard Print ~
~ Red & Green ~
~ Peacock ~
This one is my favorite, and one that she actually let me keep! =)
~ Red & Green ~
~ Gold & Green ~
~ Aqua & Red ~
~ Red & Green ~
I hope that sparks some ideas in your head! =)
I'm pretty sure this is what I'll be doing for Teacher gifts this year! ;)
That being said...I started my own Christmas decorating at my house.
Here's a sneak peek:
I've kind of always stuck with a more traditional color scheme for Christmas...red's & green's...Silver & Gold...with maybe a pop of some other color, like aqua! This year though, I'm adding burlap!
I AM thinking of doing a pink & aqua Christmas tree this year...I haven't decided if I want to make that plunge yet. ha ha
Have y'all started decorating for Christmas yet?
I know people have mixed feelings about putting Christmas decorations up even before Thanksgiving, but I look forward to Christmas...it's my favorite time of year!
I also kind of like to take my time putting everything up, rather than this rush to get it all up so that I can actually enjoy it. =)
Hope y'all have a blessed weekend!
