Christmastime Mailbox

I always like to make my mail girl smile when she sees our mailbox all decked out for the Holiday season.

 

This year's look got a "simple do" compared to some Holiday season's from the past.

 

A chubby, red, cardinal sits and some extra large pine cones that I found on the ground added just enough for a wintery look inside the succulent crate 

 

A red poinsettia garland with some fresh greens added make it look more Christmassey.

 

There's no denying that this pic would look even better with a little covering of "white stuff" on the ground. 

But, that's okay, I'm happy with decorating outside when it's 70 degrees

 

This is how it will look if the temperaature drops and we get some flurries with a touch of editing!

 

 I hope that I may have inspired you to make your own mailbox pretty and if you'd loke to see some others that I've done use my search bar to see more looks.

 

Next time, I'll let you have a peak inside the door!

 

 

 
Love, Hugs and Kisses,

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!

  Love, Hugs and Kisses,
JP

and Gucci, too!

Can you see him? He's playing "peek-a-boo!

I LOVE your sweet comments, but my reply's won't always get to you. 

Get the fix... here!
