Christmas Crafts

I love the Christmas season and all the fun and joy it brings. Most of all I love the true meaning of Christmas which is the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ! I love Him so much and it's so great that pretty much a whole month is to be focused on Him and His birth. I always try to have Him in my fore thoughts but especially during December! 
Every year I love to add to my Christmas collection by making new and fun crafts. I found some cute ideas on blogs. This first one is a Christmas ornament wreath but the awesome thing is, is that it only cost $6 to make!! I went to the Dollar Store and got 6 packs of 12 ornament balls and strung them on a metal hanger! Super easy and fun to do. The instructions I found on Six Sisters Stuff, great blog btw if you've never been. You can find the tutorial by clicking here



This next project is really neat! It called the Spouse Christmas Countdown. It's like an advent calendar where you get to turn over a card everyday. It's for your husband or whoever you want to make it for. Everyday you write something on the back which can either be a compliment, service or fun activity. It's to show your love for your hunny and it's a fun decoration too! Ryan really likes it and I'm excited to do a lot of the activities this month. Check out the tutorial here
