DIY Christmas Decor-Part 2

Happy end of the weekend!  Hope you had a great one.  With my illness the last couple weeks I  am waaaay behind with shopping, decorating, and just enjoying it all. Thank goodness I am now my normal (?) self.  Now I need to slow down and soak in all of the glory and peace and love of the season.

I wanted to share some fun little projects I've been working on to spruce up the dining room.  On my last post, I shared my snowflake and red ornament window.  This is the same room, but there are some other projects that I wanted to highlight.  I haven't filled the tin pails with anything yet (I am trying hard not to buy much, and can't decide what to put in there, maybe lots of candy canes?).....



Isn't the chalkboard cute?  I have a set of three of them and they are fun to write little messages on!  There's more of that wrapping paper from the Target Dollar section..  I also plan to add some peppermints in the small mason jars you see at the top.  The whole room is done is simple silver, red, and lots of pinecones that I already had from previous seasons.  Unpacking my Christmas stuff was like Pine-cone-polooza.    I really tried to use what I had and be creative with fun little touches here and there. This is the dining room table, not done yet.  My kiddos sprayed simple wooden stars just like they did the snowflakes and we also glittered the pinecones.  I had extra silver bells, so I tossed them in there, too.  I had our red tray out on our porch I shared with you this past summer.




I have lots of these bead garlands that used to be on our tree and used them in this glass hurricane and also this wooden bowl.


More pincones.  Told you I had a lot. :)  I tucked glittered stars in random places.


Two of my favorite {very little} touches are the pine cone I painted white to make it look snowy then stuck in a tiny silver pail I had.....


and using a red pom-pom to add some fun to Rudolph, my silver reindeer.  He makes me smile every time I see him.

This room is bright, simple, and fun.  What little touches have you added to your rooms to make them festive?

Pin It!

  6. Very often, these people give up before giving the program a real
    chance to work. You have to find a way to take the tips you learn and make maximum
    use of them. What I tell my clients is that they need to schedule their fitness
    time like it's a doctor's appointment.

  7. Firstly, you must exercise; without proper workout, you can bid goodbye to your dream
    of having a flat tummy. Every time you head to the bathroom, take a minute or two and turn it into
    your temporary personal travel fitness station. Smoking can
    affect your health and fitness since it affects all the bodily functions and damages vocal cords and skin.

  14. Based on my own experiences I am going to make five recommendations that I wish someone had made to me to help take
    the fear out of fitness. Blowing off some steam with a quick
    round of solo travel fitness in the morning can make your whole day brighter.

  16. Here again you want to find or even create an angle or slant in
    which you can take headline news and 'incorporate' it into a post you are composing.
    You can give tips to the workers in the salon, restaurants where the
    star visit frequently. Every now and then, new stars emerge and disappear in the blink of an eye and every smallest detail about the
    same becomes important celebrity news.
