It's hard to believe that I have been celebrating Christmas in my own home for nine years...sadly I don't have to much to show for it. Our first few Christmas' were spent with hardly two pennies to rub together and any spare money we could scrape together from the food budget would go to getting a tree and a few gifts to put under the tree for the kids. Thankfully we had(have) very generous parents who more then made sure our kids were spoiled and never knew what it really meant to go without something special each year.
But Christmas really isn't about all the stuff under the tree but the people around it and the celebration of the birth of Our LORD and Savior, so I never really missed all the "stuff" I didn't have to decorate with around the holidays. But this year (with the help and inspiration from
pinterest) I decided that the kids and I would try to bake and make something each week through Christmas that we could either give as gifts or use to decorate the house and enjoy for years to come.
So here is my first project...
I re-purposed a wreath I had and wasn't using, I got some
cheap plastic ornaments at Target, some red holiday glitter ribbon at CVS and poof, a fun and funky wreath to brighten up our door that cost me less then $15.
