'Tis the season for all the DIYs that make the home feel merry & bright. My fuzzy yarn and frilly ribbon collection is growing and now I just want to decorate everything. I found this little $5 wire Christmas tree at the Target's Bullseye Playground. For this project you simply tie knots of yarn and ribbon around the wire until you're happy with the look. I added little disco balls from the Dollar Tree & felt peppermints found here.
Bringing all the magic of Christmas to our home this holiday season. This little project is so easy and will be so much fun on Christma Eve night as we sprinkle the magical reindeer food on our lawn. Shopping links here:
Yarn here or here and also at Hobby Lobby
Bells can be found at Dollar Tree or Amazon here
Classic Christmas Sprinkle Mix here
For the free printable below you'll want to right-click on it, save it to your computer, and then place it inside a word or pages document and adjust size to six inches tall. You can print up to three per page on landscape setting. Use a hole puncher and attach to filled bulbs using yarn of your choice. I have a reel on Instagram here that you can watch. I used a muffin pan to hold bulbs as I filled with the reindeer food.

It's the HAPPIEST TIME OF THE YEAR, and this is also my favorite time to do little crafts while I sip on a hot drink and listen to Christmas music. I have a growing drawer full of fuzzy yarn and frilly ribbon and I wanted to make something to hang on our dining room cabinet. I saw something similar on Instagram and had to recreate it with my own colors & vision. This is such a simple DIY that anyone that can tie a knot can do! I started with a long piece of ribbon tulle and then used all my yarns and ribbons to tie knots around it until I got to the bottom. I have a reel on Instagram you can see my dining room table with all the supplies here. The bells and felt candy canes are from Target, tap the pink shopping links here and here. I buy all of the yarn and ribbon at Hobby Lobby when it's on sale, usually 30-40% off. All of the supplies for this project can be used for gift wrapping also! I've had some of the yarn from several Christmases ago. I'm going to do this same technique on a wire Christmas tree that I found in the Bullseye section at Target that I'll share soon. I have these little felt peppermints ready to go for the next projects!
This morning I officially felt like Mrs. Claus or the Elf (the all time best Christmas movie EVER BTW) as I sipped on my hot coffee topped with gingerbread whipped cream and Andes candy cane peppermint bark. Alexa is playing Christmas music 24/7 unless a holiday movie is playing. Our Christmas bucket list is growing so fast I already know we won't be able to check off every fun idea, but just the thought of all the festive activities has us all very excited. Last weekend, as soon as the Halloween was packed up, we started to turn our home into the North Pole. I was so exhausted Sunday night after cleaning and decorating all weekend long, but now it's the coziest and merriest, and it makes us all so happy. I shared a home tour reel on Facebook and some dude I don't even know said "it's too early for Christmas, ever heard of Thanksgiving?" I didn't respond but definitely chuckled. I'll never understand why people have to rain on someone's parade. It's the happiest time of year and I want to soak up every last drop of joy. Today, I'm sharing a bunch of photos from our around our home and links to a lot of our favorite finds. I'm waiting on one more item before I can share our gingerbread village, OMGosh it's so sweet. We added a pink flocked tree to our collection this year and the pink poodle topper looks like it was made for it. Also, Magnolia has a sweet little tree in her playroom, but it's a disaster so I may or may not share that room at some point. Last night, Magnolia and I picked out some fun Christmas stuff at Target, go see my stories on Instagram @wendycorreen to see what we got. We got new red + white flannel bed sheets that are in the dryer as I type this and we can't wait to cuddle up in them tonight. Enjoy the tour...and check back soon for more festive fun. I have a few crafty projects I plan to do and can't wait to share here. These Santa Salt Dough ornaments from a few years ago were a big hit & we might just make more this year.
The Zombies movies on Disney are all about dancing and singing and they were the inspiration for this year's Halloween costumes! The kids decided on their characters and costumes late this summer and they immediately started to put a dance together to perform on Halloween night. Magnolia was Addison the Werewolf, Addy + Lucca were Addison the Cheerleader, Ollie was Zed the Football Player, and little Isla was the Alien. I will match or coordinate Magnolia's Halloween costume as long as she'll let me, so I was a werewolf right along with her! Magnolia yelled "JACKPOT" from the wagon numerous times Halloween night as she could barely hold in the excitement over her growing bucket full of candy. Earlier in the night I told Magnolia to get me some peanut butter cups. As the night got dark and we were approaching home, she called me over to the wagon as she sang "ohhhhhhh MOMMY, look WHATTTT I got YOU!!!" Her little hand held up a full size Reese's peanut butter cup, and my heart just about exploded. She had the opportunity to get a full size candy bar for herself, but she picked one for her mama instead. I have a photo of it below because it was just the sweetest thing. Our neighborhood knows how to do Halloween and we all made some very special memories.
