Step by Step Deco Mesh Holiday Wreath

I made this wreath for a friend today! She bought all the materials and I made it for her! Very easy to do.

Buy a styrofoam circle for a wreath. Cover it in ribbon, pin it in the styrofoam with pins.
Take the deco mesh and pin it into the wreath using floral pins. Billow it as much as you want, then pin it again. Do this all around.

Make sure and pin the ends at the back.

Go around with another layer or use another color like I did and do the same thing.

Add some ribbon if you'd like. Pin it down using the pins.

Add ornaments as well! I tied these on with fishing line because it's strong and clear. I also pinned it in the back just in case.

And you're done! Ready to hang on your front door!!

Playing Catch Up...

So sorry folks. Playing catch up today. Matt and I were out of town all last week for Thanksgiving! It was awesome!

I don't think I ever posted a picture of our mantle. I did this WEEKS ago :) I like it.

Also- I got this hat a few weeks ago. I love it. Dad and Matt hate it- I think it's so cute! Rawr!


And... here's the Thanksgiving crew! Well, one side!
We had a great Thanksgiving with both my parent's families! We only get to see them once a year so it's always great to see everyone!











After Thanksgiving lunch we went outside and some of the kids played football. Well, Marge got in on the fun and decided she wanted to kick the football! Just watch the video to see how that went...



And this ladies and gentlemen, I'm sad to say, are Kirby's feet. He thinks this is cool. Socks with his chacos. All the girls in the family quickly informed him that it was NOT!

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! We sure did! I ate SOO much fun!

(btw I'm in the 2nd trimester this week! Yay for 14 weeks!!)

Granna Turns 83 and Holiday House!

Well, first thing is first. Here's a funny pic I took of Bella on our bed one morning. She's saying "I'm not too excited that I'm not gonna be the baby for much longer!!" This is one spoiled pup. I'm anxious to see what she thinks about an addition to our family!!

Friday was Granna's 83rd birthday!! We went to eat and then back to her house for cake and presents! Here she is with Haven!

Welp. I'm exhausted and I've got a very busy week ahead of me! I've got a lot going on at work and church! I'm coordinating a wedding this weekend! So... see ya in about a week!
