Welcome to 25 Days of DIY Christmas Ornaments. It’s time to get your DIY on! Are you ready? Christmas is definitely my favorite holiday of the year.

When do you decorate your tree for Christmas? I have a friend who puts up her tree and decorates the entire house the day after Halloween. AND she has all of her Christmas shopping done! I admit that I’m a little envious. I usually wait until mid-November to decorate my tree. I always set the […]

I always enjoy coming up with a kids’ themed table from decor I have on hand. And since it’s almost Christmas (are you ready?), a Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer tablescape came to mind. The Rudolf theme could have gone wild and I admit that I had to reign myself in on this one. Sometimes […]

I just recently planned a big party for our ladies group at church (Girlfriends Unlimited). I started planning months before the actual event that took place this past Friday night.
