Happy Holidays, friends. My favorite time of the year is finally upon us.. Tis' the season for family, friends and festivity! We threw a Holiday Brunch at our home this past weekend, and invited family over for tasty treats, and lots of laughs :)  I was so excited to decorate our dining room with Christmas cheer, and set up a gorgeous holiday tablescape using affordable decor from Walmart ! I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Walmart.com Home had a ton of beautiful dinnerware to choose from!  (um have you seen the new Pioneer Woman line?! give. me. EVERYTHING.)  I chose The Pioneer Woman Paige Crackle Glaze Plate Set & Better Homes and Gardens Snowflake Plates for my place settings. I loved the farmhouse simplicity of the Pioneer Woman dinnerware coupled with the festive metallic accent of the snowflakes.. holiday perfection. To decorate I decided to go with a mixture of glitzy metallic decor and of course, natural burlap accents (...

Hi Beauties!   Its that magical time of year of again & I have created the perfect DIY project to get you in the holiday spirit!  I had seen these gorgeous ornament wreaths on various crafting websites such as Pinterest, and also in department stores for nearly $40!  I knew I could create my own version at home for less, so I headed out to the Dollar Tree and Michaels craft store to pick up supplies. I decided to go with gold and champagne for my wreath colors, as these shades will still work well with my decor in the later winter months. This was such a fun craft project and way more simple than I was expecting! Hope you Enjoy. Here are the steps to create your own: Christmas     Ornament Ball Wreath YOU WILL NEED: - 80+ Ball Ornaments in varying sizes, colors, patterns (I purchased all of mine at Dollar Tree for around $12 total) - Wire Hanger ( untwisted & bent into a circle) - Glue Gun & Glue Sti...
