Christmas Wreath

Last weekend, two of my friends and I had a craft party. Lindsay's been working on her's and Chad's Christmas tree ornaments (all inspired by Pinterest, of course), and Kendall unleashed her inner crafter and helped her. I made a super cute wreath I've been eye-ing since before Halloween.

Lindsay and I went to Hobby Lobby and gathered our required items. I got a wicker wreath form (the styrofoam ones were all gone), 7 different Christmas-y spools of ribbon, and two boxes of 35-count T-pins(the lazy way of assembling the wreath, the non-lazy and much more time consuming way is using hot glue).


I'm OCD and didn't want to make an outright pattern and didn't want any ribbons that had already touched each other to touch (which proved much more difficult than I thought). And after I looked at the one on Pinterest I was inspired by, I realized I should have done something a little different. But I really like my finished product (so I don't think I'd change anything)!


What do you think? I'm excited to hang it up TODAY (since it is officially Christmas season now that Thanksgiving has passed - how yummy was that?)!






I'm joining Caroline for her Christmas Craft Along!

I love this link up. I look forward to it every Wednesday! Here's some pins I've been loving.

My friends and I are planing Craft Day Saturday and I want to make a cute wreath like this.



This is genius for the dog bowls...



How adorbs is this?



I can't wait until I feel like this about someone and they feel this way about me. So sweet.



Bellatrix is easily my favorite Death Eater in the Harry Potter series. I think because of Helena Bonham Carter. And this (even though it has nothing to do with the books, really).



What are you pinning this week?

Obsessed: Pinterest

So, I've been frequenting it for a while, but I thought I'd finally let you know that I am a Pinterest-aholic. I'm obsessed. I got on for at least an hour (spread throughout the day, not at once) a day. I was already excited to have an apartment to decorate one day but now I'm dying to move into my own place - I've gotten so many ideas off the site. If you haven't gone on yet of set up any pin boards - DO IT.


Macie, Lindsay, and I have decided to have a craft day one day because there are SO many cute DIY's we've all found. We just have to actually find a day to do it haha.
