Christmas Mesh Wreath

1 Dec 2011

A little while back, a couple of friends and I were at a craft store and spotted a beautiful Christmas Wreath that was made out of mesh, and we all thought it was so cool! I have seen similar ones on Etsy that sell for around $75- which is just crazy!! But I didn’t want to make one either since it looked super complicated. Then my friend Karalee said: “I can make that! That looks SO EASY!” So the three of us went in on the supplies together ($10 each) and we got Karalee to teach us how to do it, and she was right- it WAS easy, plus it only took about an hour and a half to make! No wonder they’re all over Etsy!

I have a lot of recipes that i’ve gathered from friends and family, cook books, magazines online recipe sites and blogs since i’ve been married, and one day, when I looked in my cupboard full of “dog-earred” recipe books, torn-out magazine pages and printed papers, I decided I needed a cute and convenient way to collect and store all of my favourite recipes so that I could find them quicker & easier–and so I made this recipe box:

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!
I wanted to take a quick moment to post some thank you cards I made last night, since today is all about being thankful! The paper’s called “summer’s end” by fancy pants designs, and I did a few different layouts, so you can copy whichever ones you like!

My future sister in law, Jessica, is up visiting from Utah right now and happened to mention that she didn’t have any kind of bridal shower planned! I had 2 showers, (one planned by my bridesmaids in Utah at Uni, and one in England planned by my friends and family), and I had so much fun, and still have so many good memories, that I wanted the same for her… so I got ~~plotting~~ planning!

D.I.Y Fall Centerpiece with Matching Napkin Holders

I love decorating for fall, probably more so than any other season. I love the mossy, sage greens, the deep browns, the sheer-y oranges and neutral creams. I was kind of relieved to take down the gaudy halloween decor to put up the classier autumn decorations, except- I was missing a beautiful centerpiece, and since November is all about Thanksgiving and the food, I need a cute table, right?!
