Last Minute Easy Holiday Decorations
Tara Posted on Wednesday, December 16, 2009 at 6:08AM Has December been flying by for anyone else? I think I have said that about every month this year but December can be one of my favorite times of the year. I love the all day baking sessions, the stringing of lights, the smell of a lovely evergreen tree in a tiny apartment, going to a holiday arts production, wrapping presents, etc.
For me the first part of the holiday season was packed full of life/job/moving decisions and now I find myself wondering if I can cram it all into the weekend ahead... So I have been switching my list of holiday cookies to those that are a little less involved. And as we are likely not going to have a tree this year, I have been on the hunt for quick and easy (and inexpensive) decorations to bring a little holiday spirit into our apartment (that is still filled with boxes).
I have been planning to make this pretty wreath from the red thread for a while now so whipped one up this afternoon...
For the first time in maybe 25 years I made snowflakes...
And have added the most simple decoration of all, the balls in a pretty bowl...
I tried to keep that tattered chair out of the photo but this way you get a glimpse into a project I have lined up for 2010.

The wreath is really cute! I like the paper you used. I'm also a big fan of decorating by throwing ornaments in a bowl...it's so easy!
Love the wreath! Your photos always look so great - what type of camera do you use? thanks!
I love the wreath! I wanted to attempt to do one with fabric. Ran out of time, but next year for sure. !
