Happy New Year to all! Christmas here was good but I'm definitely ready to move on and get all the decorations packed back up. I have the rest of the week off from work and will be taking a little blogging break. See you next week!

Christmas Craft Day
My sister and I had a Christmas Craft Day and had a chance to put together some fun last holiday decor. We did these gumdrop trees - this is a super easy and fast project and perfect for kids as well as adults. Just get a Styrofoam cone, several bags of gumdrops (we went through 3.5 for 2 trees), toothpicks, and ribbon. Break the toothpicks in half, stick the broken half into the gumdrop and then place into the cone, working from the bottom up. Attach a bow with a toothpick and you have an easy addition to the holiday decorations.

Christmas Wreath
My mom, sister, mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and myself usually attend a cute little wreath workshop at one of our local farms. The atmosphere is warm and cozy. This year, however, I just couldn't justify the expense when I knew it would be cheaper to get the wreath and supplies myself. So I tried my best to recreate a cozy warm holiday vibe in my little craft area and my mom and sister came over to create wreathes. After getting the wreath itself at the local farm, a quick trip to Michaels for the embellishments and ribbon was all that was needed. I decided to go for a blue and silver theme this year as the wreath stays on the front door until I take out the Valentine's Day decor. All in all I'm pleased with the way it came out.
Cheers,

Flannel Sheets
Growing up, I used to always have flannel sheets on my bed. They were one of the treats of winter. So warm and cozy - no icy cold sheets when you first climb into bed. When Jeff and I moved in together, we never needed flannel sheets. We had a down comforter and it made the bed so cozy and sometimes hot! I switched out the down comforter over the summer and I'm still liking the same quilt for the winter so I decided to go ahead and get some new flannels. Last night was our first opportunity to try them out and I was in heaven! I didn't want to get up this morning and slept in a bit later than usual. Can't wait to go to bed tonight!
With warmest winter wishes,
