Clay Time

After being inspired by A Beautiful Mess' DIY Clay ornaments, I played around with a few of my own this weekend. diy clay ornaments via yearofserendipity

The block of clay that I had made 7 ornaments, but I'm so happy with them, I want to fill the tree with them!  I was initially planning to show you the full reveal today, but you just get a sneak peak instead.  I'll wait until I make about a dozen more to show you the full effect.

I think I'm addicted now- they were sooo easy to make and have such a simply chic effect!

Holiday Happenings

I'm a little behind on my holiday decorating this year.  I was less than excited to put the same tree up with the same decorations as always, so I was waiting for inspiration to strike.  Finally the  Christmas lights in my head flickered on and I found my holiday spirit.  This weekend will be a flurry of decorating and rocking out to Christmas music on my headphones (so as to spare Hubby since he doesn't share my love of Christmas music) Here's a sneak peak of a few things I have up my sleeve.

I'm excited to see how it all comes out!
