It's Christmas In July

Make sure you stop by each day this week.

I will have a round up each day of different Christmas ideas.

I have complied different links for Christmas themes.

I have links for wreaths, mantles, porches & front doors, Christmas Trees,

 and even some fun Elf on the Shelf Ideas.

 I had the best time doing this with my kids this year.

I am really looking forward to it this year.

 I have found the best blogs through my research too.

 Can't wait to share these links with y'all. Hope to see y'all around this week!

 Spread the word to all your friends!

It's Christmas in July!

 

 

 

Mardi Gras Crepe Streamer Wreath

I finally have some Mardi Gras decorations in my house! Yay me! In New Orleans there is always a party so we go straight from Christmas to Mardi Gras. Not many people decorate for Valentines Day. I have lots of decor up for Valentines Day but since its almost over and Mardi Gras is right around the corner on March 8th, now I start decorating for that...so here is my first attempt at a Mardi Gras wreath.

I started with a $1 store wreath and 3 colors of Mardi Gras streamers

Cut them into long strips and then over lapped them into a cross and made little pinwheels

Here's my little pinwheel parking lot- I made lots and lots these.

I also cute about 6-8 strips to wrap around my wreath, to section off my wreath. I found it was easier to glue to the streamers than to the wreath itself.

It looked like this from the front when I was done wrapping the wreath in the strips.

Here's the back view.

Half way through, adding pinwheels and fluffing as I went.

Here is my finished product, I dont LOVE it, but I think its Cute Enough!

Happy Mardi Gras :)
