Door Jam.

I updated our front door with some Christmas goodness. I made these wreaths last year using this tutorial. They were really easy to make and are very easy to update from year to year.

 I did just that this year. I added a little more silvery bling to each of them. I'm debating the addition of some fun blue ornaments...just to get crazy with it:)

Our front door is ready for the holidays!

Christmas Bling.

I know that yesterday I said I was ready to move on to Thanksgiving. Ya know, since it is the closer holiday and all? But one more thing before that. Our office...all decked out with Christmas bling....I bought this star last year at Lowe's after Christmas for pennies. I've made a promise to myself to only buy Christmas decor in the weeks after Christmas. It's ridiculously inexpensive then.Lots of silver tidings for this one little tree...Including disco balls...every tree needs a disco ball.And a bowl full of bling for the other side to even all that blingeness out.
Now seriously....on to Thanksgiving:)

Around The House...Christmas Decor Favorites.

We got all of the Christmas decorating done over the weekend. Here are few of my favorite Christmas decor shots. Starting with our owl adorned with Christmas ornaments....Tillie's tiny stocking....Christmas dishware. I love this so much. It's so fun and festive...A tiny tree in a clam shaped bowl to festify our hallway....A beautifully monogrammed tree skirt to lay all of those presents on...
Though we are definitely in the Christmas spirit at the Woods home...we're taking a time out this week to give thanks for all that God has bless us with! Happy Thanksgiving week everyone!

Put a W on it.

I saw this fun idea pinned here. I thought it looked like an easy holiday craft. It would have been...had I not had to do it twice :) It started with this $3.00 pumpkin....I then used a scrap piece of card stock paper, an X-Acto knife and the W from this project to trace out my letter. I did the cutting on a cutting board in the kitchen to avoid cutting anything I shouldn't have. Once my letter was cut out I trimmed up the sides slightly so that it would better fit my pumpkin {this probably wouldn't be necessary if you were working with a gigantic pumpkin - however, mine was tiny}. Then I guesstimated where I wanted to stick my 'W' and started mod podging. It's important when using mod podge to use it underneath the paper and have a thick coat on top. This is about the time I knew things were going south....Once things had dried for a little while...I realized it looked terible. I mean really bad. The paper was all crinkled up and the white letter on the orange pumpkin was just no good. So I started over. This time I started by spray painting my pumpkin white. I also decided to use a piece of scrap book paper that had a pattern. After repeating all the above steps again...I ended up with this cute thing....There are still a few crinkles from the mod podge but on the second go around I realized you could roll out most of them while your mod podge was drying. This made for a much better finish.There you have it....a little pumpkin that we put a W on.
Happy Fall Everyone!!
