Holiday Song Inspired Project Blog Hop

Good Morning!

I’m pretty positive that I was a singer in a past life.

I love nothing more {well…except for maybe the Real Housewives of course} than jamming to some tunes in my car, at work, in the shower…when it comes to my “performances” I’m not picky.

If you ever pass me “performing” in my car just smile and wave :)

So when I heard about making a craft inspired by a holiday song the performer in me perked right up!

How-to Hang Ribbon on a Christmas Tree

Good Morning!

Have you started decorating for Christmas yet?

As you may already know {based on my Christmas mantel} I have!

One of the first things I remember struggling with when it comes to decorating for Christmas is hanging ribbon on a tree.

How the heck is one supposed to hang ribbon on a Christmas tree anyways!?

Well…there are about 539 ways you can hang it.

So today I thought I’d share a little tutorial on how I hang my ribbon…for those of you struggling and wondering about this like I used to.

Decorating Your Mantel with Garland

Hello!

There is something about Christmas decorations that make me really happy.

Like really…really happy :)

And one of my favorite decorated spots in the Purple Palace during Christmas is our garland hanging on the fireplace mantel.

Decorating a mantel for Christmas can be somewhat of a tricky thing.

You see it took us 3 Christmases to finally get the garland on the mantel right.

So today I’d like to share the steps we take to make sure the garland on the mantel looks perfect…or at least perfect to us.
