I am beyond excited to be bringing MORE monograms to my holiday decor this year!!!  First, take a gander at my new wreaths for my four exterior doors – front, side, friends entry and porch!!

Here’s how I pulled it off:

1.  You’ll need a 24” basic wreath, 12” indoor/outdoor white monogram from Scrappin Plus, one holiday spray (optional), ribbon and pipe cleaners.

2. Fluff your wreath and cut up the holiday spray with wire clippers.  I find that going with a basic wreath and then adding a few springs of pretty greenery goes A LONG way and is much cheaper than the nicer wreaths that are already made.

3. Attach the monogram with white pipe cleaners at the four corners.

4. Make your bow and attach with another pipe cleaner.

In addition to the four wreath monograms, I also added darling 6” wood monograms (also from Scrappin Plus) to our stockings.  I never had them monogrammed with our names and absolutely adore this look.  I painted them with Krylon Short Cuts Gold Leaf spray paint in under five minutes!

If you recall, last year I used a 16” single letter monogram to make the canvas on my porch.  Well, I am thrilled to announce that Tamera has invited me to give away a 16” single letter to one of my readers and a discount code to ALL!!!

Waking up on November 22 is always heart wrenching.  It was on this day, six short years ago, that I delivered, held and fell in love with our stillborn son Matthew.  I had a long, gruesome and painful labor and delivery, we held him for an hour, and then we went home.  Without him.  I… Read More
