I don't know what it is about the holidays.

But once they get here, all I want to do is make stuff.

Which really stinks for me.

Because.

Well.

I'm not very good at being crafty.

I mean.

My intentions are good.

I look at all of the blogs.

And I really do try.

But somehow between seeing something and doing something.

Pretty much gets lost in translation.

It usually ends up with me super frustrated.
And a big mess.

And I'm okay with it.

A few years ago I made these advent boxes.

I'm truly a lover of the advent.

Really.

The boxes turned out fun, but hanging them every year has been such a problem.

One year I used sticky putty type stuff.

It worked but left putty all over my walls.

One year I used push pins.

And we had to paint when Christmas was over.

This year.

I was determined to solve the problem once and for all.

So I went to Home Depot.
Found some plywood.
Went to Hobby Lobby.
Found some fabric.
And I stapled the crud outta that board.

Finally.

Something that works!


Next.

I like wreaths.

Like.

A lot.

In fact.

I currently have five hanging in my house.

So what do you do when you love them
but can't find the ones that fit your style?

Why.

Make your own, of course.



Give me a hot glue gun and I'll go nuts.

I promise.
