Happiness Is Homemade Party
Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade Link Party
Happy Sunday! I hope your weekend is going well. I mixed up 5 batches of cookies yesterday and plan on 2 more today. Then I can start to make them. I am providing the cookies for a girls get together from our zumba class on Thursday. It should be fun.
Have you started to bake yet? Do you bake? I wasn't going to make so many cookies, but just got carried away. At least I can give lots out so I don't have much to eat. lol!

Thursday Favorite Things Party
Welcome to Thursday Favorite Things Party
Happy Thursday! I hope your week is going well. I had a lovely girls night with my friend where we use to live. I drove down yesterday and came home today. I also met up with two other friends and had a wonderful dinner. There is nothing like a girls get together, especially at the holidays.
It is so wonderful when we can take some time out of our bust schedule and just enjoy our friends. They are such a precious gift. Do you have any special friends that mean so much to you?

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!
