Updated 12 Days of Christmas

I went back and added more Christmas decorations in our house. I have added cranberries throughout as well. Here is more pictures and ideas!

I moved the NOEL letters in the kitchen, and decorated the lamp shade with Red and White Chevron material from Hobby Lobby!

I added Cranberries, and branches with fake ice on them. The cranberries and ice branches are from Hobby Lobby.

I should add a candle inside the lantern


NOEL letters came from Hobby Lobby, and I left them plain looking since I am doing a old look for Christmas decorations

I made the Red Self that is in our kitchen, and it goes perfect with the theme in the house. I added a old looking bucket I found at Target in the dollar isle. The two buckets I found at target in the dollar isle too. I placed fake snow and glitter balls from Hobby Lobby.

Love this! My favorite part of decorations inside the house.


I did not want to over load these guys, so I just added burlap and cranberries.

"W" bought from Hobby Lobby, and painted it myself

Burlap Trees

Burlap trees are really simple and fun to make and make a house look very warm! Supplies you will need: Construction Board, Hot Glue Gun, Burlap of any color! Have fun! 


I made the cone out of construction board. I got it at Hobby Lobby. I played around with it, and cut the bottom to where it would be flat and stand up straight. As you can see I taped it in several places.





I cut my burlap strips about 2 inches wide. I did not wrap the burlap around and around the cone. I hot glued the burlap to the back then it meet the other end.

This is how they look when completed and different sizes as well!!!

These are very simple to make and make a room feel very welcoming!

Completed with a second one that is smaller, and a grapevine wreath. Burlap ribbon for a bow.


The wreath on the mirror, and pine cones scattered throughout. I bought the pine cones at Wal-Mart. They are cinnamon scented and make the house smell wonderful!

Pretty, and Simple at the same time.

Rachel's Wedding

What a wonderful friend and blessing Rachel has been to our family! Not just Rachel there is Sarah, Courtney, Ronald, Kristen, Paula. Makes me sad that Kristen and Paula does not live close. It was a wonderful time catching up! It brought back memories in high school. Sitting and chatting eating our food like the old days. Rachel has been blessed with a godly hushand named Caleb. I wish them many blessings. I hope this is not the last time we see each other. I hope to see more of these friends! I am trying so hard to convince a few to move to NWA! Love you all, thank you for letting me be help with your wedding!
