New Year, old year...

‘May the LORD bless you and protect you. 

May the LORD smile on you and be gracious to you. 

May the LORD show you his favor and give you his peace.’ 

(Numbers 6:24-26 NLT)

May you draw closer to God in 2015...be thankful that He has blessed you in years past...never forget what you've come through...

Here's a recap of my December 2014!

Seeing the Christmas lights in my sweet little town.

Helped our church youth group and an awesome organization wrap presents for local children for Christmas!

Drank lots of coffee at our local coffee shop (recently re-opened in a an awesome new building!) The Bull Shack is awesome and they have a great back story!! To learn more about them click here. Or visit their FB page!

Deco Mesh Christmas Trees

This year I wanted to do a little more with the "little space" we have in our home. Last year I wrapped a tomato cage with Christmas lights. This year I took it up a notch by first wrapping the tomato cages with white LED Christmas lights and then wrapping them with Deco Mesh! These are very cheap and beautiful little trees! If you want to make them you can run by your local hardware store to get medium tomato cages and then stop by Hobby Lobby to get the deco mesh. I happened to find mine on sale for 50% off, so for two large rolls of the mesh I paid a little over $10. You can do all sorts of awesome fun with the deco mesh...they come in an assortment of colors (I saw red, purple, green, white, pink, silver...oh and lime green!)

I had a blast making them and I looooove the dreamy light they create at night...

..."I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas"...
 
Merry Christmas!


Note: If you decide to make these...make sure to have a partner to help! I couldn't have done these without my husband!!   :)
