Merry Christmas 2013!

Hey Ya’ll,

Just wanted to post a quick note and one more photo from Austin’s “Trail of Lights” with my mother. I hope that you’re all enjoying time with your families and friends today.

Merry Christmas!

Winter Wreaths For Your Door and Mantle

Hey Ya’ll,

If you don’t have time to load up your home’s exterior with twinkling lights or can’t be bothered with a shedding tree adorned with beautiful bulbs, there’s one easy way to instantly add holiday cheer to your abode: a winter wreath!

What do you think of these lovely blue themed wreaths? How about these wreaths with beautiful bursts of red?

A classic green wreath is always a good choice, too…

If you’re crafty, try stringing leftover bulbs together using some wire or hot-gluing bulbs to a bare wreath (click HERE for a tutorial for the wreath below from http://sharyncarlson.typepad.com):

Another fun idea is spray painting some holly to create a metallic, sparkly wreath:

Wreaths are a great way give a seasonal nod to a holiday and the best part is that they can be hung over a mantle, on a wall or on a door. Do you have a winter wreath you use every year or do you prefer to switch it up? Let me know in the comment section below.
