Merry Christmas! I know my decorations aren't much, but give a girl a break! This is mine and my husband's first Christmas together in the four years that we have been together! The first year he went home for the holidays, the second he was on deployment, and last year he had to stand duty. So yay for first Christmas! He has to work today, but I would say it's worth it.
So I was browsing through some blogs in a group I am in (married young) and I found this very cute, crafty southern bell ( http://recentlyroached.blogspot.com ) who had this great idea for a christmas ornament for newly weds ( Ornament Idea ) . I thought it was a great idea and decided to copy her! So here is my version of her idea (come on folks, I am still learning how to be crafty!)
You need a clear bulb. San's glitter would be ideal but if you live in Hawaii and you are trying to find one a few days before Christmas..ahh good luck. This is the best one (or should I say only) one I found in Walmart and Kmart.
I have a lot of left over invitations. This is what I am putting inside my bulb.
Basically, I cut the invitation up into little strips and took the top off the bulb. Bet you don't know what comes next...
I added some Christmas spirited ribbon and voila! Looks pretty good for a non, crafter eh?
Here are a few more additions to our Christmas tree this year (Thank you Laccetti Family!!)
Merry Christmas everyone!
