SSH’s Best in 2010: Projects
Christmas Wreath Ideas
Hope you enjoy these wreaths from last week’s events. Wreaths are one of my favorite decor items, so it’s been a real treat to see everyone’s ideas. They’re all so unique and creative!
Christmas Kitchen Tour {Holly Bloggy Decor Party}
By the way, don’t forget to stop back by my blog tomorrow for a Christmas Recipe Party!
For this part of the tour, we start with the fridge, which is topped off by my little kitchen tree. Last year it seemed to be everyone’s favorite thing in my home tour (and my fave too), so it makes a return this year!
A bunch of different plates, figurines, etc. always seem to find there way on the counter this time of year.
The Christmas Tree Plate is one of my favorite pieces. Hubby bought it for me from Cracker Barrel.
And here’s the dining rom table. It’s the same tablecloth from last year, but the I added a bunch of stuff to the center.
More balls in cups and cone trees! And if you check out my Christmas Craft post from yesterday you can see how I created the sign.
And that’s it for the kitchen. If you haven’t seen the living room tour, please check that out too. And don’t forget to come back here tomorrow for the Christmas Recipe Party!
Also, linking up at these parties.
Christmas Living Room Tour {Holly Bloggy Decor Party}
Wednesday is Day 3 of the Holly Bloggy Event, and we’re sharing decorations and Home Tours. Be sure to go over to The Shabby Chic Cottage to share yours! Also, come back here to Simply Sweet Home tomorrow for a Christmas Recipe Party!
I had a lot of stuff I wanted to share for this year, so I’ve actually decided to divide my tour up into two posts. There will be one for the living room and one for the kitchen/dining room.
Back to the “treasure cabinet.” I decided to share my Rudolph figurines. This is my third year to do a home tour on my blog, and I don’t think I’ve ever shared them. My best friend from elementary to high school bought me these several years ago because it was always one of my favorite movies!
I especially love this candle set. I always love blue and silver together!
Please check out my Kitchen Tour—coming up next!
Don’t forget to link up your decor at The Shabby Chic Cottage. I’m also linking up at parties.
Christmas Wall Art {Holly Bloggy Christmas Crafts}
Today we are sharing Christmas Crafts for the Holly Bloggy Christmas. You can link up your project with Nicholette and Vanessa at Craft Envy.
Christmas Wreath Upcycle
For the flowers, I simply took two bunches of poinsettas that I got for 94 cents each at Walmart. Cut the flowers from the bunch and then just stick them through the wreath.
No glueing involved, so there’s no mess, and you can always change the wreath up later!
I’m linking up at this week’s parties.
