Tis the season to be jolly

   I am so excited for Christmas and its not even Thanksgiving yet. I am not to thrilled about all the commercialism and shopping but rather I am really happy about all the cooking and crafts that I am planning on doing over the holidays. Here are some pictures of some items I hope to incorporate in our Christmas theme.

I really like these vintage mason jars. I am hoping to put votives in them and put them on the stairs going up to the front porch, and possibly lining the driveway.

I am thinking of using the burlap to wrap some of the gifts and tying them with red ribbon.

Instead of cranberries I think these soda pop lids would look very unique strung around the christmas tree.

Ball ornaments are classy but I think they are too typical.  These coffee filter pom poms would be a nice change on our tree. 

We always have Christmas cards scattered all over the house during the holidays. I thought it would be cool if I could frame chicken wire by placing the corners of the cards through the holes.
