DIY Snowflake Rose Branch Wreath




These are simple to make and elegant too.




Greenery inside rounds out the seasons. This snowflake I made from fir tree branch tips and then tied a burlap string to it so I could hang it anywhere.



These little twigs look like they came from Charlie Brown's Christmas tree. They are needleless fir tree branch tips. I lined them up like this to see what they looked like. Who would think these branches by themselves would look lacy when grouped together? I then restacked the centers and put a dab of hot glue on it. To match my room I spray painted them white. You could embellish these with buttons or glitter. There were some dried pink roses on my desk so I hot glued those onto one. Had to get a little pink in there.


These plate rack was a wedding gift and recently it got a wash of white. It is an antique with carved leaves. I really like it. Thank you for stopping by.

I am linking up with Romantic Home.

Coca Cola Bottle Red Christmas Habitat



Serving up a little Christmas cheer...




with a pinch of the color red.




Actually I am serving up greenery and sugar snow.




My glass Coke bottle has a little fir tree of it's own hidden inside. Not so hidden, but safe. I am growing a little forest inside. Maybe it will grow right out of the bottle.




This bottle cap has just the right punch of color.

It was cold yesterday and then we had a wind storm. At midnight it was 62. This morning it was in the 30's again. (You notice these things when you have a dog.) Will we get snow for Christmas?
