It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

I keep forgetting to show you guys all the amazing Christmas decorations around my house. My mom works so hard to make Christmas more special every year. I love how much detail she puts into every corner of the house. 

 I am so proud of the Christmas Ribbon Wreath I made!! It took two days and tons of ribbon but I just love it! 

What You'll Need: 

6 Different Colored Wired Ribbon (2 spools of each just incase) 

1 Wire Wreath Frame

1 Wooden Letter 

Cut ribbon 8inches in length. 

 Tie ribbon to the wire frame. This takes time and can get messy with glittery ribbon. I did this while watching football all day. 

And there it is! I used gold spray paint to jazz up the R.

#03 Pinterest

It should be no surprise  that Pinterest is on my list. Pinterest is by far one of my favorite things this year. I feel so lucky to have heard about it. When I get home from work I put on my sweatpants and then get on Pinterest. Yes, I pin before Facebook! 

I decided to feature my favorite things on each of my pin boards. 

Thanksgiving

I don't have many things on this board but I did use several of them during Thanksgiving.

These are Cheesy Winter Squash Muffins. I loved them, however when I make them again I think I will add some red pepper flakes. 

For the Classroom

For my real job I am a First Grade teacher. This pin board has made my classroom run more smoothly and more engaging.

If you are a teacher listen up! This is a simple way to keep up with your kids reading levels. I truly truly love this! 

My Heart Belongs To The...

Of course my heart belongs to fashion! It was extremely hard for me to pick a "favorite" pin but I did find something.

I picked this because I just die for a good pair of jeans and a perfect ruffle neck shirt. 

There's a Party in My Tummy 

My heart beats for fashion but I breath for food. This pin board is filled with things that I'm sure I will never make but I love to look at.

This is a perfect example of why I love Pinterest. You can learn so many tips and tricks.

I haven't had a chance to try this yet but it seems like a great thing to try! 

Happy Things 

On this board I pin things that make me smile.

There is no need for words.

It's My Party 

This board is dedicated to anything related to throwing a party.

Great idea! Put a marble at the bottom of a balloon before you add the helium and they will hang upside down. 

Come Fly With Me 

I honestly do not  pin many things on this board. This board is for places I would like to visit.

Paris 

Sayings To Say 

This board is dedicated to anything I need to remind myself to do or say.

Preppy, Polo's and Pearls 

This is probably my most popular pin board. This board features anything related to "preppy" fashion. 

source

I love this poster because I've always be fascinated with the "preppy" style.  

In the Home

This pin board features things I would love to see in my home one day.

I think this reading nook is really unique.  I would love something like this in a playroom when I have children. 

One Day

Speaking of children. This pin board has anything and everything I love but don't need at this point in my life. It's basically a wedding and baby board. 

source

I love this brooch bouquet it's so classic and chic. 

Trying it Once Can't Hurt 

This board features things I would like to try or make.

Hopefully during the Christmas break I really hope I get to make this bracelet. 

DIY Wrap Bracelet

A few weeks back I saw this on Pinterest and I knew I needed to recreate it! I ran to Hobby Lobby to buy the supplies seen in the photo above. However to my dismay they did not have the best selection. I finally took some time out last weekend and went to Michaels and found everything I needed to make my Wrap Bracelet. 

I decided to use rhinestones to add more sparkle. I am in no way a crafter but I think for my first try this is pretty amazing. I plan on making more and using a thinner leather cord. 

Please ignore my lounge around the house shorts.
