HOW TO MAKE A DISCO CHRISTMAS TREE

12/12/2022

I decided to incorporate all things disco balls into Christmas in my office this year. 2022 turned out to be the year of the disco ball at my house. The sparkles just make me happy and I don’t plan on cutting down in 2023. I still need to find something to put in my disco ball planter. I also had plans to make various sized disco Christmas trees but I went back to Hobby Lobby right after Thanksgiving and there was no sign of the paper mache tree shapes anymore. Now I know why people start Christmas decorations in October. I did purchase one tree form before Thanksgiving for a test run and I’M IN LOVE. I will be making more. Amazon to the rescue. I started my project with a brown paper mache Christmas tree that I spray painted silver. Starting at the bottom, I cut strips of...

CHRISTMAS WRAPPED PHOTO WALL

12/07/2022

Do you have a photo wall somewhere in your house? Add a little ribbon to the frames for an inexpensive, festive holiday touch. This is our boring hallway wall. Look how much cuter and fun it looks with bows. Yes we have two cats and two dogs. The other cat refuses to sit on a bench in front of the white wall long enough to let me get her photo. I’ve been trying for two years to get her photo. One day I will succeed. Be sure to scroll down to the bottom of this page to my Instagram feed to see the cute video I made of the hallway photos decked out for Christmas.

WHAT’S FOR DINNER | WEEKLY MEAL IDEAS

12/04/2022

I had planned to take the week of Thanksgiving off from posting. But with family in town, a surprise 80th birthday party, house cleaning, Christmas decorating, two family dinners at our house, work and two work Christmas parties, it’s been two weeks of no posts. I’m exhausted and the holiday season is just beginning. And I’m still not done decorating for Christmas. Here’s hoping things slow down a little this week so I can catch up. Something tells me that’s how everyone feels the entire month of December. Hopefully these dinner ideas make it a little easier for you to come up with a meal plan this week and you’re able to slow down just a bit and enjoy the holidays. Christmas will be here in a blink of an eye. Have a good week, everyone!
