Last Minute DIY Christmas Trees

Did you decide not to decorate much for Christmas and now it's a week away and you regret not having a tree?  I've got a few easy suggestions for you that don't involve watering anything.

1. Shipping Tree

2.  Spare Branches and Twigs Tree

3. Yarn Tree

Gold or Silver Vase

I have a pile of vases under my sink that could use some loving.  I came across this project that would help add a little class to them.  This could also make nice candle holders. 

Choose your paint color in spray paint and have fun.
Use painters tape and after you've sprayed the vases, don't leave the tape on too long or when you remove it, it may remove the paint with it.
Also make sure the tape is on good (without any bumps that would allow the paint to seep in).

Ordinarily Wonderful

I came across this quote on Pinterest and had to share.

 "time stands still
best in moments
that look
suspiciously
like
ordinary life."

I hope during this holiday season, you find time to admire the way the clouds wisp across the sky or how the snow sticks in your eyelashes, or the way the moon glows on a frosty night.
