Plan It Out

I don’t want to talk about the Holiday Season too early, but…..Looking ahead, wouldn’t it be fun to create something fabulous that makes you smile every time you walk in the room?branches-and-bowl-of-ornaments

If you want to create a pretty and special Christmas tree or tabletop setting, a decorated mantel, bookshelf, etc. this Season, it is necessary to plan it out:wrapped gifts

Those beautiful table settings you see in blogs and magazines? Definitely written down and planned out to the last napkin. Same with those gorgeous, original Christmas trees you see. All planned out.christmas-tree

And if I can figure out how to create something out of my normal craft boundaries- you can too! For instance, this year I decided to try something new and I am adding ribbon to my Christmas tree:ribbon tree

I saved the project here on my Christmas Pinterest board. I printed out the directions and wrote a list of what I will need. Now that I started to plan, I will have time to purchase my ribbon and not be rushing around at the last minute when I put up my tree.Another project I have always wanted to do is making a Christmas boxwood tree:box-christmastreefinal
