So, if you haven’t noticed yet, Scandinavian Wreaths are one of my go-to favorite things to decorate with. After living in Germany, I fell in love with the look of these Scandinavian styled wreaths. They are so simple, yet at the same time so beautiful and add so much to a space. I just can’t get enough of them. Not only do I love using them for all my decorative needs, I really love making them as well. I recently used one in our $50 Mantle Makeover post. I have another one coming in my next house makeover and I just finished one off this weekend for a Master-bedroom Makeover. These are a great craft all year long, not just for Christmas!
Flocking is all the rage right now and I have a feeling it isn’t going away anytime soon…
Tree flocking became popular in the late 1950s and 1960s, along with aluminum trees and other glitzy, non natural-looking decor of the post-war boom. General Mills marketed Sno-Flok home kits, which were applied using a gun that attached to a vacuum cleaner. Umm…Can I still get one of those? Now, those flocked trees are coming back with a vengeance and you don’t have to just buy them in the stores, you can make them yourselves.
Since I was a little girl, my Grandmother, Mimi, would make me the most amazing and spectacular costumes. She would take me to the fabric shop and let me pick whatever I wanted. I was literally a kid in my own type of candy store. Anything my little heart could dream, was her command. Of course, I would request the most lavish costumes you could imagine and without fail they would always show up even better then I envisioned. These memories are implanted into my soul, they makeup a huge part of the creative person I am today.

Magnets may seem super dated, but after living overseas and traveling to so many countries these magnets are some of our most prized possessions!! 🙂 Even now after being home in the states, the kids and I love picking out our favorite magnet everywhere we go. It’s a fun, easy and inexpensive tradition!!! In our German apartment, I had my magnets proudly displayed on my circuit box…yikes…
Pallet projects are one of my favorites!! There are so many options and ideas out there for pallets these days. I can’t get enough and what makes them even better…they are FREE! Who doesn’t love free projects!!! I wanted to make shelves for my kids playroom to hold all of their books. Anything that can store some of their stuff and not have it…
