I love decorating for Christmas. I wanted to share some pictures from my Christmas decorating this year. My home has a lovely winter wonderland feeling in the  Sonoran Desert in my 1950’s mid-century ranch home. I am enjoying the spirit completely this year!

I was so inspired when I saw Georgia Peachez Vintage Christmas Bulb Wreath that I knew I had to gather up the vintage bulbs I had and make one. It is so pretty and I am so thrilled to have it as part of my holiday decor. Then totally inspired,  my mom and my neighbor, who is like a second mom both made their own versions. Here they all are:

Okay clearly obsessed, I created this Felt and Quilled Peppermint Wreath. I used stiff felt to cut stripes to glue down, random and nest like. I then used peppermint candy cane paper and quilled them into disc flower shapes. I love red and white at the holidays.

Still a bit wreath crazy this holiday season, I created a wreath out of kraft paper, burlap and t-shirt yarn rosettes. I am going to be so sad when the holidays are over. Can I leave all of my holiday up until June?

Happy crafting xoxo
