Well we are finally getting our Christmas tree later today. Christmas is my favorite holiday and can’t wait to get it up and decorated. Our colors are pastel shades of greens, pinks and blues with pops of crystal, silver and white. I promise to share a picture. My daughter always makes fun of me as she thinks our tree is “too fancy”. She says we should have a normal tree.
Ahem Miss. Gabrielle. Excuse me missy, but what’s wrong with a tree not made out of last years school projects and kiddie inspired do-dads. Not knocking the trees that are inspired by your favorite little ones projects, I’ve been there too. She is almost 18 now though and those projects just aren’t there to show off like they used to be. Hence a “fancy tree” it is. Want to DIY some easy holiday ornaments this year? Here are a few I thought you might all like.
Serious cuteness HERE with these hot air balloon ornaments.
You could make these charming skate inspired ornaments in so many colors. What a fun project HERE.
Are you a rustic chic kind of decorator this year? THESE yarn and rope ornaments are really easy and inexpensive to make.
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Love this Sandra – especially the hot air balloon ornaments – so clever. We have a fancy tree too – red and gold glittered and shiny ball ornaments with faux candy canes mixed in. I just love fancy trees – can’t wait to see yours.
