My 2014 Christmas "wreaths"

My mother & I just had to incorporate knitting into our Christmas decor this year. We started out almost traditional with red poinsettias...
 Then mine had to be purple :)
 But hey, total cost for this project - 3 whole dollars!
We just used things from around the house + $3.00 for purple ribbon.
 While rooting around the basement, my eagle-eyed mother found a dusty old frame & insisted it would be adorable painted and used as an alternative style wreath. Glad I listened, I really like this. Sorry I doubted you for an instant mom!
 Not satisfied with wreaths on doors and walls, I even decorated my sister's dog.  Maybe I got a tiny bit carried away.
Merry Christmas!

Christmas cards*

Merry Christmas!  I love these packs of matching Christmas themed Christmas papers♡ The matching papers just took all the brain work right out of the equation - so simple.
I espically love that I got them on after Christmas clearance last year!
The beautiful muted papers came in a pack from Basic Grey. The bright papers used for the stars came from Hobby Lobby in a little pack of card size pieces. Fun cheap & easy - my kind of project!
