Christmas is coming whether we\u2019re ready or not, so it\u2019s time to wrap things up!\u00a0 Last weekend we finally got our big presents on the front porch.\u00a0 We\u2019ve done this in years past, but the presents were showing their age, so we started fresh.\u00a0 The wreath wasn\u2019t on the door when I took pics, but it\u2019s in place now!<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n A very dear friend gave me this blackboard garland, and I did my best to chalk it!\u00a0 I am definitely a beginner at the art, but sure do love the look!\u00a0 Thanks, Dusty!!<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The holiday potpourri is simmering on the stove, and the house smells like Christmas!\u00a0 It\u2019s fast and easy and is worth the little bit of effort it takes to get it going.\u00a0 The recipe is below.<\/p>\n Speaking of wrapping things up, it\u2019s time to wrap some gifts!!\u00a0 This is something I really enjoy doing. I have loved using brown craft paper for years, but this year I decided to try and use chalk on it to embellish my presents!\u00a0 Here are a few things I did!\u00a0 It sure is quick! \u00a0Using greenery from outside is always a beautiful touch, too!\u00a0 I may spend too much time wrapping presents, but I love every minute of it!<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n It\u2019s time for all of us to put our feet up and enjoy the holidays with our families and friends!<\/p>\n Merry Christmas!<\/p>\n
