"Owl" I want for Christmas is... a Christmas Display Idea for You!


 "Hoooo," can resist a fluffy white Christmas owl?

Not me! 

My project started with a vintage, wooden hanger that I painted white. I turned it into a really adorable Christmas display.

Now, I warn you...it's cuteness just might make you want to make a similar one, too!

"Owl" I want for Christmas is YOU!

He is so darn adorable!

A strand of wooden cranberry beads, hot glued into place, created the strand for the simple paper banner. Mine is basic...you can get a lot more creative with yours. 
The possibilities are endless!

I was in a rush to get our window done...you'll be seeing that whole reveal, soon

and this adorable little guy

and more of this, really old, tiny one, too!

Another Wispy White Wreath for Christmas this Year

I just shared with you that my Christmas decorating is done and showed you our mailbox, for the season, this year in my last post.


Now I'm back to show you our new wreath for our entry door. I re-cycled it from the one that hung above our mantel for Christmas last year.

I just love a white wreath especially with a pop of vibrant red.




It's no secret...if you know me at all, then you know that I just LOVE red!



White pine cone accents, red berries and a single deep red poinsettia. Can  you say, "dramatic?"



Photo editing fun with this pic.

A little tease from part of another project that I made for our porch. I'll show you all of it next time!

Wishing you a very

Merry Christmas, Neighbors!

I'm the first in the neighborhood to be able to say...
Merry Christmas, Neighbors!
I know it's on the early side for Christmas decorating, however, I wanted to be able to get my pics ready and posts written in time to share some ideas for your own decor.

Each change of season our mailbox gets a new look to welcome neighbors and passers by.

 Last year's mailbox was red and rusty and had to be replaced.
In the spring we bought a new one and I painted it grey and added a sentimental touch.

This year, for Christmas, I wanted it to be white....so, I wrapped it with two, plastic, table covers from the dollar store.


 I cut each one, in half, length wise and started with a knot tied like this.

With the length I began to wrap it over and under

and tucked it in

each time it came to an end.

A bit of white, duct tape keeps the next attachment nice and secure.

A little slit makes the flag accessible.

  I tied on a large white bow which holds the end of the wrap tightly in place, then finished it with a swag of greens, red poinsettias and a golden sled on top.



Tie wraps hold the sled securely on the top.



A glittered bird in a golden nest sits snuggly inside.





Now, maybe you'll add a little something festive to your mailbox this year!

All of our Christmas decorating is done, so I'll be back soon to share this up-cycled wreath that's on our front door!
