I haven’t shared any of the things I have been making much so I am putting some together. Two things Maine has plenty of are sticks and pine cones. They are naturally pretty and FREE! We had left over birch branches from the wedding things and I wanted to use them for something creative. The lighted branches was one of the centerpieces from our wedding and I just jazzed up a bit. I am going to make another twig wreath but with a mirror in the middle , it won’t be a snowflake but I think I will still like it.
More to come, always!!
I’m still shopping and making things even though Christmas is only a few days away! So before I take a break, I want to share a fun and easy project I did for the holidays. With just a little time and a few supplies, you too can create a beautiful winter wreath for Christmas! […]
It snowed yesterday here in Maine which is normal of course but today, wow, now that’s some snow!!!
We wanted to order these for the grandkids and thought this seemed like a good deal, but, I unchecked the box for the extensions but got charged anyway, then to get it by Christmas it was another 6.99. Now on the site it says may not arrive by Xmas but didn’t before. It’s a 50 waste of money when you can just go to Walmart and pay less for two packs.
Don’t fall for it!!
Blogmas: Day 10 Sometimes our surroundings look so depressing that we need a change. With so much happening in life both personal and professional, it becomes difficult to care about the space we are living in. I have heard somewhere that all living spaces reflect our state of mind and today I am going to […]

Good Monday morning friends! Aly Dosdall here to kick off Holiday Decor Week with a quick and easy Christmas Tree Garland I made with the Banner Punch Board and the Square Punch Board. To create this garland, I trimmed some papers from the Crate Paper Falala collection to 4×6 inches. Then I used the Banner […]
I made my wedding bouquet as some of you know, using latex Cali Lilly, leaf vines and other things, in a teardrop swag style. 
So then the question was how do I keep it dust free , ready Incase I decide to use it again or simply because I want to keep it.
In all the websites it talks about fresh flowers or says just hang in sight to be dusted regularly. Dust??? Nope. Now I looked for a bag big enough and clear that I could use but didn’t find one. I needed to move it for Xmas so I got a little creative. I could and should have waited for help instead of trying to do it all one handed but I took out my kitchen Saran Wrap and started wrapping , trying not to get it to tight to squish anything. My son said it looks like a mummy.
Ignore the mess in the background, my duster on the floor, I tend to do three or four things at once.
Bought these at Michaels craft store and thought what a help these will be decorating the house for Xmas, nope. I haven’t got the regular year round decor up yet so I have tons of space. These things do not stay stuck on the walls! I had to use scotch tape to keep them up , the words even don’t stay. On the bend that was made from being folded in the box keeps popping up, it’s horrible. I DO NOT recommend buying these!!!
I’m not sure how many of these there are out there but they have some great deals right now and I scored big time !!
so you know I have been having problems being able to share others post on my blog, if I used a reblog button it was fine but if I just used the share button I was getting the title of the post but the rest was blank. I have been irritated beyond myself lately with this, I could not find anything in the forums and started to just not even post but, today, I opened my app on my iPad, as I was messing around I pushed my dashboard and after it switched to the different idk, dashboard, it all works fine on here. I still don’t understand it and am still annoyed but at least now I can get over it!!!
