Dear Friends,
Rejoice for the Christmas season is here!
Another year to celebrate the birth of Christ!
I love the preparation that comes with the holiday season. This year I am really into keeping our decor simple and warm. I have been intentional in saving money this year for our household and pushing myself to tap into my love for crafts and creativity.
I visited a couple of local Goodwill and Savers stores a couple months back and found some beautiful handmade pieces that would work for the holiday season.
I wanted to mix old with thrifted and handmade to give our home nostalgia and rustic warm touches.
The stocking tree holders were found at Savers for $.99 each and I painted one white and the other stained it attached a hook and they are now our new stocking holders.
The garland I found at Marshalls this year and its the only new piece that I added to home. It faux but the quality is amazing for the price.
The bells were found at Savers and the gingerbread house garland I handmade myself. Some black card stock, chalk pen and some creativity and you have this fun and whimsical garland for your home.
I must share that the reason that I chose simpler ways to decorate is to keep my heart simple. This season is wrapped with so much hope, joy and peace however the world clouds it with buy more, chaos and stress in our lives.
In order to keep my focus linear I keep traditions simple and find beauty and joy in it. I stay the course keeping my eyes on Jesus and celebrating Him.
Thank you all for your time and I wish you all a very blessed and merry Christmas season 🎄
