Holiday Card Displays

Yesterday, we received our first Christmas card in the mail (really??? mine aren't even finished!) I like to display our cards of friends and family during the holidays & found some great ideas for this holiday season! This year, I am recreating this card garland (without the clothespins) on our staircase...

The Wreath's Have It

As you can tell from my previous postings, I love to use wreaths for decorating during the holidays! I found more festive wreath ideas to get you in the holiday spirit-I am thinking of recreating Martha's gingerbread wreath for my kitchen this year....can't you just smell the yummy gingerbread fresh from the oven?
