I did get myself a tiny bit in gear on Sunday night by tackling the mirror in my dining room. After a wonderful smelling wreath from Green Valley arrived, I was inspired to get going. Last year I did a silverware snowflake wreath but I wanted to do something different. I used some bits and bobs I had laying around the house (except for the nuts and bolts, I had to make dole out a few pennies each for those) to make a Christmas Card display wreath. I added some peppermint candy as well to spell out 'JoY' just for a little more whimsy.
Obviously I'll have to do a bit more to the dining room to make it merry and bright but its a start.
I love having this years Christmas cards front and center but not all members of the household are impressed. Snooze.
It's all very cute so far! I love the peppermint candy on the mirror, i havrmt seen that before. How many people are you entertaining for this holiday?
ReplyDeleteI loooveee that dining room mirror by the way...
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the mirror!! I think it turned out beyond cute!!
ReplyDeleteI love the card wreath! How did you affix it to the regular wreath, though? And where did you find the circle? I'd like to do this, too!
ReplyDeleteThe circle is a wreath ring (you can buy them at craft stores for a couple of bucks). The ring got affixed with a little wire but you could also use glue or ribbon. Pretty much anything would work. Hope that helps!
ReplyDeleteThanks Renee.
ReplyDeleteNot so many this year - just 7. Every other year we have a larger crowd and this is an off year so it will be more low key.
ReplyDeleteI love when you include pictures of your cat. So cute. <3
ReplyDeleteGreat wreath!
ReplyDeletelove the J made with peppermints!
ReplyDeletewhat did you use to get the peppermints to stick to the mirror?
ReplyDeleteI used a tiny bit of that tacky poster stuff (the kind you use in college to hang posters up on dorm walls)
ReplyDeleteThanks. There is a Y too :)
