An Easy Wreath Project & Some Christmas Touches

 

I’m more of a bit-by-bit holiday decorator rather than knocking out the whole thing in a day or two.  I better hurry it up, though.  Can you believe Christmas is in just 23 days???

 

This week, I spotted this simple white wreath on Lisa’s blog, and followed her easy step-by-step directions (found here).  I originally thought it would be perfect on the mirror above our mantel but it wasn’t quite big enough, so it went on our bookcases.  The good news is that it only takes two yards of an inexpensive white fabric and a wire coat hanger!  (I did have to search our house for the wire hanger, though. . . )

The only other thing I’ve done so far is to take a walk through our yard and snip greenery for our mantel. . . .

And, I used extra clippings to spruce up a fake wreath on our front door:

This weekend, we put up the tree!
