Valentine’s Day Ruffled Ribbon Wreath
Let’s talk quick and easy crafts. You know…the ones you do when you realize it is already February and the wreath on your front door is still the same one from Christmas. Yeah, that kind of “oh no, gotta get a new wreath out stat” kind of craft. That’s what this Valentine’s Day Ruffled Ribbon Wreath is all about. I seriously realized 2 days ago that I still had the Christmas wreath up and it was February. Blogger fail…scratch that…just human fail!

Flashback Post – Valentine’s Day Countdown Calendar
Advent calendars are HUGE for Christmas countdowns. I do one every year and love it. After Christmas comes, it seems like a little bit of a let down that we aren’t counting down to any other holidays. So, last year, I decided to create a Valentine’s Day Countdown Calendar to keep up the fun of holiday countdowns. I am re-sharing it this year because a) last year’s photos were awful and b) I want to make sure you saw it 🙂

Homemade Christmas Trees
It was my pleasure to partner with Make It:Fun and FloraCraft® to share a “Foam for the Holidays” homemade Christmas tree project with you.
Decorating with small, homemade Christmas trees can be super easy but make a big impact. When you create your own, there is so much versatility for how your final product will look. I’ve decorated my own trees over several years using scrapbook paper, tinsel and even just glitter. Using STYROFOAM™ cones makes creating homemade Christmas trees so easy.

2013 Christmas Home Tour
Ok, so this is the Christmas home tour that almost didn’t happen. The loss of a week between Thanksgiving and Christmas really threw me for a loop and got me all behind. Add a trip to New York City for a weekend and our annual Christmas party and I’m lucky I even have presents purchased {we’ll just pretend at least one those is wrapped…mmm k?} Of course, I did decorate for Christmas so I wanted to share it with you. Come on and take a tour of our home!

Glittered Canning Jar Ring Candle Holders
I am so excited to be partnering with SNAP Creativity and Recollections Glitter for this project. As always, all thoughts and opinions shared here are my own. #glitteratmichaels
I’m a wreath failure, ya’ll. Yep…a total failure. I set out to make one of those gorgeous canning jar ring wreaths and totally failed. I think it was something to do with me being totally impatient but who knows. What I do know is that I was left with the 380 canning jar rings I purchased off of Craiglist ($10…score!) and no clue what to do with them. What’s a girl to do? Well, being the holidays, I decided it made perfect sense to add glitter to a bunch of them and use them as candle holders. Now, I am in love with glittered canning jar ring candle holders but still have like 350 more rings and no clue what to do with them. Ideas are appreciated!

Easy Mod Podge Christmas Decoration
Christmas decorating is pretty much my favorite thing to do in our home each and every year. It takes me at least a week to get everything out and I am always looking to add new things to our existing items. Of course, I am also looking to keep our spending in check so I find myself making things a lot more than I used to. Plus, I am pushing myself to work with new craft tools or ones that I’ve been pretty unsuccessful with in the past. I knew I wanted to add some more Christmas words to our decor so I created this easy mod podge Christmas decoration one afternoon.

25 Awesome Christmas Crafts
Christmas crafting is in full swing here now that the calendar has flipped over to December. I do a little bit of stuff during November but really don’t start with the “heavy” crafting until December. There is something about really enjoying Thanksgiving as its own holiday that I love. Of course, not actually crafting in November didn’t stop me from searching around for all kinds of inspiration to have for when I started my projects for the year. To kick off the first week of December, I am sharing 25 awesome Christmas crafts with you today!
…Guest Blogger: Homemade Christmas Wreath
Hello Just Us Four readers, I am so happy to be here and guest posting! My name is Ciara and I run a blog called Teaspoon of Life. I am one of 13 siblings, a mommy to a rambunctious little girl, and wife to a wonderful husband. In my spare time, besides blogging and taking care of my little princess, I love to cook/create recipes, and occasionally do some crafts.
This is only my third Christmas with my husband and we don’t have many decoration yet. We agreed on our first Christmas together that we would only get a few decoration each year (so we aren’t spending all our money at once). Also even more important, so we have something special for each year. This year I am in a very creative mood and decided to make something!
I had a thought in my head of a door decoration and by making it myself it makes it even more special! I decided to make a Christmas wreath because they can get so expensive at the stores sometimes!
