I really didn’t like the way the deco mesh porch decorations looked so I redid them. I’ve been decorating up a storm this year and thinking of all kinds of life posts I need to write. Let’s hope I get done with all my projects soon. Many more pictures to come. For now here is the front porch redo. Less Christmas vomited more simple and classy yet still colorful and hopefully fun. What new decorating projects are you taking on this year? I’m up to my eyeballs in mesh, greenery, glitter ribbon, snowflakes and ornaments.

Update: This was round one. It was my first attempt at the deco mesh garland and I didn’t really like how it looked from far away once done. I sort of think this version looks like Christmas vomited all over my porch. So I did a redo..next post 🙂

Adventures in Decorating. It’s late but here was my Thanksgiving Table decor

I was busy this year and didn’t get the table ready until last night. I spent about 2 hours and I tore it all down after the meal today. We found the napkin folding on Pinterest. I made one of those deco mesh ribbon small garland things, but I’ve got so much on top of it you can hardly tell it or the two kinds of ribbon are there. Lesson learned for next year. We decided we liked the tall big wide centerpiece because it divided the table creating some intimacy and privacy without completely blocking the view of each other. Down side was dinner has to be served buffet style with this big a centerpiece.
I’ve got lots of ideas and possible new things I’m doing for Christmas this year so I’ll be at Michaels at 7am tomorrow. Happy Thanksgiving!!
