Holiday Tuesday: Coat Hanger Ornament Wreath

This is one of those great Ornament coat hanger wreaths. I made one of these for a Dirty Santa gift exchange at church and it was quite a hit. It really was easy. I found most of my ornaments at the dollar store so I made this fabulous wreath for only 5 dollars. I defiantly want to make another one but this time I want to work on my placement of the ornaments. I could not quite figure out how to pull of the bow so I covered the hook of the coat hanger in ribbon and just left it exposed. It still looked cute but I would love to make a pretty bow like this. I found the tutorial for this wreath at Eddie Ross.

Holiday Monday: Christmas Cookie Advent Calendar

I love this fun and easy idea of making an Christmas Cookie Advent Calendar. This would be an Advent Calendar everyone could do at home. The only problem would be who would get to eat the cookie? I found this idea at a beautiful blog called Positively Splendid.

Holiday Post Catch up

Our Internet has been down and I have been traveling so I am a few days behind on my post so we will be getting three posts for one. WHAT A DEAL!

GIFTS!

This idea comes from one of my favorite blogs Tip Junkie. There are some great ideas and I love this post of Gifts in a Jar. This idea supports my love for mason jars. Tip Junkie gives you ideas for everything from bake goods to crafts you can give as gifts in your jar. These would make great teacher gifts!

ORNAMENTS!

I found this idea on Martha Stewart's website. She has so many great Christmas ideas! I love these Cookie Cutter Ornaments. These are a great way to personalize ornaments. I think these would be really cute in a child's room. You could put family pictures in them or pictures of their favorite things. These also have a beautiful vintage feel with old black and white pics and vintage looking patterns. With these ornaments you get a personalized tree for little money. Can't beat that!

HOLIDAY YUM YUMS!

These Peanut Butter Reindeer Cookies are so cute. They look great and are not hard to do. I found these at Budding Baketress. She has a lot of yummy treats for the Holidays. I am thinking I might have to make these for the Church Christmas party. FUN!

Whew...so now we are caught up for the week. I apologize for falling behind. Continue on!
