Welcome to November friend!

I normally have most of my Christmas decor out by the end of October, but this year I'm a bit late. Our son's wedding was October 28 and we had out of town family (as well as our kids) staying with us, so I opted to leave the Fall and Halloween decorations out until after everyone left.

I'm packing up the Fall decor this week and then will be starting on Christmas decorating. It's always such a fun time of the year to go all out and make the house look festive! This will be our first Christmas in our 'new' Mississippi rental, and while I'm excited to decorate, this home is almost 1000 sf smaller than our TX home, so I know I will be challenged with space!

Anyhoo, while all that is happening, I thought it would be fun to revisit some of my past Christmas projects. You know I'm a big fan of decorating inexpensively and each one of these projects fits that bill!

Have fun visiting the projects below. If you click on the blue link in the title, you'll be taken directly to the tutorial.

Love cottage style? Cut the spindles off a discarded chair or crib rail and turn them into the cutest tree.

You'll never believe how inexpensive these cozy trees are to make! The neutral color will work with any style decor and they'll add the coziest vibe to your home.
