Congrats to my Obol winner Disney Mom! This is such a great bowl i know you'll love it!

Mesh Christmas Tree

So while i was at my sisters house during Thanksgiving we did so much fun stuff!  Here is one of the crafts i got to help her with! Isn't this tree a cutie?  And it's the perfect size for the middle of her kitchen table - on the lazy Susan....i LOVE lazy Susan's especially on kitchen tables ;) 

So would you like to make one? Here's how we made hers!

These are the only 3 things you'll need (and decorations...if you want)

The Mesh Ribbon we used was 2 1/2" wide, if you've never used mesh ribbon, don't be afraid you can't mess up while using it -it's very forgiving!

This foam piece for the core of the tree

And Greening Pins.

What we did was so simple we unrolled the mesh ribbon a little at a time and then twisted it....

Here's a closer look at the twist..kind of looks like a ringlet...haha

After twisting just pin it with the greening pin, keep twisting and pining all the way around and work your way up...

Make sure to start out wider at the bottom and get more narrow as you reach the top.

And in the end you'll have the cutest little tree ever! I just love little Christmas trees!

Then go ahead and get to decorating the most fun part right?

And ta-da! Look how awesome that turned out!

Right now I'm wishing this was my kitchen table!

Have Fun!

Christmas Countdown Craft!!

Have you entered my GIVEAWAY yet? if not its not to late!!

Wow, what a busy week it has been! We went down to Boise to spend time with the Family for Thanksgiving and it was so much fun! Hailey had blast spending time with all her Aunts,Uncles and Grandparents, it was a much needed little vacation for our family!

Really quick i wanted to share one little idea - something my sister gave me and I'm just LOVING it!

Check out this AWESOME Holiday countdown! I actually didn't make it but it would be so simple to make!

This is the one she had displayed.....HOW CUTE is that?!

Like i mentioned these would be really easy to make, just get mini muffin tin make sure it has 24 spots or you could do one with 12

Cut out 24 squares out of scrapbook paper and decorated every one the way you want, these will go over every spot and then simply glue a magnet to the back!

  Fill it with whatever you want! Candy or even a nativity scene would be awesome!

And then the magnet sticks to the pan! 

I absolutely LOVE this idea!! 

To store the pieces I'm using a little tin.

 I love that this is something my daughter can use, and i know it will be used year after year!

 This definitely has made me excited for the Holidays!

Have Fun!
