just finished this garland....not sure what I think about it...it looks a little lopsided and kiddish...but I kind of like it.
Easy to make, just trace the letters with different colored papers, punch holes and tie with yarn!

It's (almost) the most wonderful tiiiiime of the yeaaaaar!
oh yay. my husband and I have this debate every year at this time....when is it okay to put up Christmas decorations? We figure we have to at least get through Halloween.
So.....November 1st?
I know, I know, it is getting ridiculous, but I love the Holiday Season. I think besides the standard reasons to like Christmas (building a snowman, lighting the fire, drinking hot chocolate, spending time with loved ones) I love it because there is so much fun stuff for me to DO! Making gifts, wrapping them, DECORATIONS!
And I have a REALLY good excuse to make a mess b.c. if anyone loves Christmas more than me it's my husband: "But babe, it's a Christmas decoration!"
I've already got a list going of Christmas DIY ideas and if I can't put them up on November 1st, I can at least start making them, right? RIGHT??

I love anything that incorporates branches! I found this on pinterest but unfortunately it didn't have a credit. I think I've seen it in a decorating magazine (like that narrows it down)
This is from the amazing website craftaholicsanonymous.com, you can go there for decorations. I was thinking of doing the pom poms out of tissue paper, but then it couldn't go outside...hmmmm decisions, decisions!
This lovely craft comes from Craftynest.com. I love how simple it looks but it makes a big statement, and I think I could do something like this with the kids in my art class!
This beautiful Christmas mantle and garland comes from Dottie Angel's Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dottieangel/5212171753/ if this is her home....I am AMAZED and jealous.
another easy ornament idea from greatgreengoods.com.
I LOVE this DIY idea! It is just the the project I could get obsessed with...time consuming but so cute! Hmm....maybe I'll start on this one first. from hiphiphoorayblog.com
any diy projects you can't wait to get started on?
