Pottery Barn DIY Christmas

 

I'm going to apologize ahead of time for the quality of my pics. For some reason blogger is not letting me add good quality photos to my blog, only small phone files :( so sad about that. I have had nothing but problems with blogger since buying my domain name. I wish so badly I would have stayed a blogspot. They now want me to pay $5 a month to add nice quality photos to my blog. OR I can delete old blog posts to make room for good quality photos......

 

 

On to the Christmas fun!!!! So a few years back, Pottery Barn was selling music note wide ribbon as a tree garland for a ridiculous amount of money, I think it was $25 a role. It looked so beautiful on the tree in the catalog and I never got it out of my mind. So this is what I came up with this year for a whole whoppin  $2 bucks!!

Found some old music books at a music store, he had a whole bin, they were $1 each. I bet these people on the cover had no clue how happy they would make a girl at Christmas 30 years later.....



Cut about 1 inch strands

staple together like you did in Kindergarten when we made paper chains...

and wala....

 

I heart them soooo much! They look perfect on my tree.

 

 

Here are some other peaks of Christmas around our house

 

I got a little obsessed with lights this year. I have them in every room.

 

 Our first package received, a Fresh Island Sea Wreath. (I guess I should have taken a picture of it out of the box....maybe on another post)

 

Placed my "Intentional December" jar next to the coffee pot so I will remember to pick one every day (you can read about what that is here)

 

 

this makes doing dishes much better.
