30 for 30
Winter Wreath
I’ve never been a wreath person but after having a fall wreath that I adored…And then my pain-in-the-butt yet beautiful Ornament wreath…I’ve become accustomed to seeing something pretty on the front door whenever I come home. Now it looks downright naked. To avoid making a wreath that could be confused with a forgotten Christmas decoration […]

Snowflake Curtains
I’m so in love with these…they’ll definitely be staying up long after Christmas. You won’t need a lot of supplies for the 2nd project in the “30 for $30” series but you will need a bit of time (two afternoon naps for me) & if you live with someone else you might want to let […]
