HomeGoods recently opened up in our town and it was a big deal. Generally we have to drive about a half an hour or so to the closest one. I know that does not seem like a lot of time, but it will be nice to have one about five minutes away. I am not sure my wallet will believe that though. To be honest the only item I purchased was a wooden deer head for $7. I was not quite sure what I was going to do with it, but I decided it would be incorporated into my holiday mantel.
I have often admired Laura from Top This Top That's beautiful wreaths. Following her amazing tutorial I created this wreath. I am not including the step by step instructions here, so click on the link I just shared for the tips you'll need to create your own.
I used some leftover chevron burlap (4 yards) and approximately 16 yards of plain burlap to create a beautiful wreath. I used an 18" wire form to make this particular wreath. The chevron burlap is from Hobby Lobby, and the other materials are from Michaels.
I hung the deer head from the buralp string it came with to attach to the wire frame. This will be headed to my fireplace mantel along with a few other items.
Rob was making a beautiful set of stocking holders today when he unfortunately cut his fingers with his biscuit joiner. Fortunately, we live close to the hospital and was stitched up quickly. I told Rob that it may be easier to just purchase the stocking holders I originally shared with him as inspiration. Thank goodness for great medical attention. Thanks for stopping by.

Drop Cloth Tree Skirt
I have seen so many beautiful variations of DIY tree skirts on Pinterest. I had about twenty minutes to burn during nap time the other day, and I decided to tackle my own version.
I had purchased a drop cloth several months ago at Lowe's hoping to come up with a project later one. I simply cut it in the shape of a square. I know most are round, but I am awful at cutting circles. I then used some fabric in a similar color to crate a ruffled edge using a glue gun. Then I simply added some self adhesive stars around the top of the ruffle. All together this project cost around ten dollars. Pretty inexpensive and easy to make. I just used some velcro to attach it together in the back of the tree.
Now the bottom of my tree does not look so bare. I also wanted to something that did not get covered in the hair from my yellow lab that seems to go everywhere even when vacuuming all the time. This is the perfect match for his color so I will not even notice. See ~

Holiday Banner by Amy
I made a holiday banner last year to use in our Christmas card and completely forgot about it until I pulled out all of our holiday stuff. I knew I could find use for it this year. I used burlap fabric, traced out the pattern I printed off the computer then cut our letters from construction paper and glued then onto the burlap banner.
This was our Christmas card last year.

Holiday Hostess Gift Idea
I picked up this adorable pedestal at the tag sale over the weekend done by Elizabeth and Co. I actually picked up two of them, and this was the smaller one. I figured it would be a nice way of giving a hostess gift during the holidays.
I picked up some garland on sale at Michaels and cut it apart. It ended up being more cost effective than purchasing the individual pieces they had nearby.
I placed a candle holder from World Market's clearance section from the last holiday season in the middle. I made my own candle inside using wax and scent from Michaels as well.
I then added a metal like sticker to the outside for just a bit more sparkle to the candle holder.
Not a bad little gift for around twelve dollars or so. Thanks so much for stopping by!Megan
