Is is hot 🔥 where you are?
It’s pretty steamy in the South,
let’s cool off with some Christmas in July!
I have rounded up some favorite ideas…
By thinking ahead, starting projects, and collecting recipe ideas,
We won’t be overwhelmed!
When the holidays are upon us, we will be ready!
Who can resist a cute gnome?
Re-purpose bottles and turn them into holiday decor,
along with a yarn wrapped cone Christmas tree, you’ll have an instant vignette!
Everyone loves a Christmas Village
You can make your own Christmas cottages with a little paint
and small decorations or ornaments
You can buy a cardboard house online at Amazon here
or a set of 3 here
and see the tutorial here
You don’t have to be an artist to paint
these “Charlie Brown” Holiday Tree jars
Paint them now…
and they will be ready to fill up with goodies,
like Peppermint Snowballs, {recipe here}
for gift giving later
You can make labels and gift tags for the jars too
Or paint these easy Angel tags
They can be used any time for a special thank you gift
You can also make cute gift tags with cookie cutters,
markers, and card stock
Do you have some pieces of wood lying around?
Turn them into Merry Holiday signs!
Paint Santa on glassware and gift bags
with this easy tutorial here
Holiday Lights make wonderful gift bags and tags too
Save empty boxes and wrap them up for faux gift decor
{I love the size and shape of square tissue boxes}

Start collecting small goodies for filling Holiday Jars
and just add a pretty tag and bow
So, don’t get your “tinsel in a tangle…”
Get a head start now and reap relaxation later…
slow and steady wins the race!
