White Twigs with Vintage Ornaments Christmas Tree + Joyeoux Noel Chalk Board + Christmas Stamped Gift Wrap Paper ( all DIY)

Hello,

I am very sorry for I have not posted anything for almost a month now.  I can be honest with you and to say that I was just following my mood and it was telling me that I need a break. Prior to that and as you all know I have been posting many of my hobbies included; cooking, crafts, painting, journaling, decorating, etc. I spent many hours in front of the computer past midnight and until almost morning. Almost everyday I woke up with a headache from staring at the computer monitor too long. This has been a problem since the first time I used computer. 

 Blogging and being creative still does makes me happy but it did come with a price.

Now I am slowing down a little but deep in my heart I still love crafting, cooking, blogging and sharing what I love doing most with you.

Okay, enough about that right! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration with friends and family as mine was a really joyful moments spending time with Steven's family.

Since Christmas is coming very soon; I am very excited to share my Christmas tree decoration with you.

I still could not believe that I bought 110 pieces almost vintage Christmas ornaments for USD 3.00 a while a go  on a garage sale in the town of Nyack in New York.

I knew that I am going to have 'a different Christmas tree' this year.

So here they are.


Those white twigs bought from a local grocery store for USD 10.00
I put them in a large vase, then cover the vase with burlap. I decorated around the vase with Christmas ornaments bought from Michaels.

I created the banner that says  "Holly Jolly Christmas' using a burlap. Then using glue gun I decorated with fake missletoes (again bought from  Micheals). I used sharpie to write the lettering.  I made the Joyeux Noel chalk board (here) and I created the stamped Christmas gift wrap paper (here)



























Thank you so much for stopping by! And have a beautiful Sunday Everyone!

  1. I love how you decorated for Christmas it is unique and so beautiful!! How lucky are you to find those antique ornaments at a yard sale for that price. Love the gift wrapping and chalkboard. You've inspired me to make my own wrapping paper. I was trying to find something at the store that wasn't the red/green kind I wanted something unique but couldn't find anything. I'm going to give it a try. Take care, Darlene
