It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas

While I was home for Thanksgiving, I got some great ideas for Christmas decorations...

My sister-in-law, Laura has an amazing wreath, so I tried making one

...and I even have a fireplace to hang it over!
~ On the mantle is part of my collection of Christmas books - I copied the idea to decorate with Christmas books from Katie's mom, Colleen, who's got an amazing eye for interior decorating ~ I love this idea - festive and practical!! My favorites are the pop-up books by Robert Sabuda ~

I also needed something for my big white wall, and I got this idea from scrapbook paper designed by Laura's sister, Sara. I thought of making these ornaments from embroidery hoops, and my mom just happened to have a bunch of red and green hoops!
Merry Christmas!!
