Welcome to the party. With Christmas over, it is time to focus on Christmas. I didn't make many craft projects for Christmas this year. Mainly, I just created some displays, fixed some center pieces, and added greenery and berries to existing arrangements.
Have you made lots of Christmas crafts? Are you done decorating? I finished before Thanksgiving and have been enjoying how lovely the house looks.
Have a wonderful week.

Welcome to the party! Well, Christmas is approaching quickly. I am ready but we just added another dinner party 2 days before Christmas.

I am doing mainly appetizers and some cold cuts for this one. 14 people on Sat and sit down dinner for 12 on Christmas. I am going to be busy, but it is fun and I enjoy having people over.
Now it is on to Christmas. Have you already started decorating for Christmas? I have chosen some Christmas decor ideas to get you in the mood.

Picket Fence and A Christmas Centerpiece
Picket Fence and A Christmas Centerpiece
As I was thinking of what to use for my dining room Christmas centerpiece, I wondered around the house. I bought this picket fence in PA a few months ago. I wondered how could I use it. I should have taken a picture of just the picket fence, but didn't.
It was so sunny today as I tried to get pictures. (I am not complaining about the sun - love it)
It's not everyday you attempt to put a picket fence on your dining room table. I have been known to use some strange pieces for trays. Last year I made a sled (You can see that here) For my autumn tray I used a pelt stretcher, so a picket fence should not be a surprise.
There are three pieces to the fence, each one is about 16 inches wide and each picket is 20 inches long. So I laid one section down and the others became the back. I folded the other two pieces to make an upside down "v" so it would stand up.
Here is the back panel. I love all of the colors and the "chippiness" (is that a word) of the pickets.
I placed a tree on the front panel and then found a large piece of white felt to use as the shirt around it.
On the one side, I added a rustic bell, a snowman and some trees.
On the other side, I added two glass tree ornaments. I didn't want to use them as ornaments, but they look cute as trees here.
I added fairy lights to the tree. Although with the sun shining in that window, it makes them blurry.
I love how it turned out, however, there is not much room on my table when we have Christmas dinner. I will have to move it to the kitchen table and put one of my other pieces on that table so we can place the food on it.
I hope you enjoyed my picket fence centerpiece.

DIY Winter Wonderland On a Sled Tray
DIY Winter Wonderland On a Sled Tray
With Christmas around the corner, there are so many items that can be used to create a Winter Wonderland tray for your home. Sometimes these items can come from things you already have, from your yard, something you make, from the Dollar Tree or a combination of these. My Winter Wonderland Tray is a combination of all of these.
If you are stopping by from Master Pieces of My Life, MaryJo created that lovely tiered silver tray with Christmas baubles and organic elements. So beautiful.
I am so happy to be joining Katherine, from Katherine’s Corner for a delightful event, a, “Winter Wonderland On a tray tour”.
About my tray:
I had several trays that I could have used for this project, but I saw a sled and decided that I wanted to make one for myself and use it as my tray. And so I did!
I have a post that teaches you how to make the sled. Click here to see that tutorial.
Once the sled was made, I needed to add some items to it. I started with a metal bucket.
I thought of different fabric to put around the bucket and then decided to make something different than a Christmas fabric. I gathered some black/tan checked fabric and some rusted bells. I stitched the bells onto the fabric strip.
I have not gotten my Christmas decorations out yet, so out into the back yard I go for some greenery.
Now, what else to put on my sled? I made this JOY decor for the front of the sled. I will also post on how to make these.
Please click over to My Hubbard Home, to continue the tour. Rachelle has a beautiful tray to share with you. Thank you!
Enjoy the Tray Blog Tour!

Pallet Snowflake Wreath
Pallet Snowflake Wreath
I needed new wreaths for my front door and wanted to do something different that green type wreaths. Hubby had a pallet in his truck from his brother and I said, could you cut out the boards. I need them.
We cut, nailed and painted and then that pallet became this.
I had seen something similar on Pinterest and made it my way. I used things from the Dollar Tree and some ribbon from last year.
Here's how I made them:
- Hubby cut the pallet boards out with out having to remove any nails.
If you cut down the middle of the pallet board, you will get boards and you don't have to remove any nails. - Hubby nailed the four boards together
It was easier to nail four boards together and then cut out the circle, since some of the boards are different heights, hubby made sure they would not come apart. Hubby does get carried away with nails. - I used a large bucket for the circle.
- Hubby then cut out the circle
He wanted to make sure it didn't come undone. I don't think there is a chance.
- Paint them black
I painted them black. I had some high gloss black paint and gave it two coats. (Sorry no pic) - Add decor
I hand did the letters with some white paint. For the "O" I used a plastic snowflake that I got at the Dollar Tree, it was a two pack. I glued it in with superglue and then put a tack at the top where the hole was. Now I know it won't come off.For around the outside, I had some snowflakes that I got at Hobby Lobby on sale. Even though they were stick-ons, I still added some superglue. I used the smaller ones.
I made a bow from ribbon left over from last year. The greenery was free and the white items came from the Dollar Tree.
All in, it cost about $5 for both wreaths.
Here they are on my front door.
Decorated front porch. The sun was shining a little too much. lol!

Quick and Easy Christmas Centerpiece
Quick and Easy Christmas Centerpiece
Need something on your side table, coffee table, or anywhere, why not create a cranberry candle centerpiece. I needed three for the round tables that we set up on our deck for our annual Christmas party. I knew I wanted candles, but didn't want to spend a lot and I didn't want them to take up too much room.
I looked in my stash and the fridge to see what might work. This is what I came up with.

Cheering up the light
This was very easy and rather cheap. I saw this light decorated on Pinterest for Christmas and for some reason it stayed with me. So when I had finished my banners, the light looked so plain. I still had some berries left and the light called to me.
