Christmas Porch Update

I had a few minutes so spare while the hubby was able to watch the kids, which is a rarity! So, I decided to take advantage of this and work on my porch for a bit! I had two pre-lit evergreen trees that I used to love, but anymore they are just beginning to look a bit pitiful.. Luckily, I had just the thing for them! The kids and I were at my friends house the other day and she had some trimmings from her live Christmas tree sitting on her front porch. I said, ” I know this may sound strange, but are you using those branches on the porch?” She said, ” Nope!”, long story short, I told her I would love to take them and make some wreaths! I got those babies home and just couldn’t wait to use them!! I can’t wait to show you some of my other creations using these beautiful greens, but you’ll just have to wait! Follow with me as I show you how I incorporated them into my front porch!

So, as I was saying earlier, I felt it was time to give those aged evergreens a makeover! I simply did this by adding spurts of the live greenery throughout, and a few pine cones here and there! Wow, they looked so much better already!! I couldn’t believe how much extra branches I had left over, so I grabbed an un-used planter, wrapped it in ivory burlap and tied it together with some of my pretty red ribbon! I filled it with lots of branches and added some pine cones too! At the beginning of the season, one of my friends Dad filled a huge trash bag full of pine cones from his yard for me. I’ve been so excited to put them to use! Thanks Ron 😉 I wanted to add some finishing touches, so I sprayed my trees and planter full of branches with hairspray and poured on some silver glitter for sparkle! It looks beautiful and I’m pretty happy with it for less than a half hour of my time 😉

Oh! And be sure to check out the two wreaths I scored from Jo Ann’s for $10 each, I was excited!

    Good day! Do you know if they make any plugins to help with SEO?
    I’m trying to get my site to rank for some targeted keywords but I’m not seeing very good gains.

    If you know of any please share. Cheers! You can read similar

    I’m extremely inspired along with your writing skills and also with the layout to your weblog. Is this a paid theme or did you modify it yourself? Either way keep up the nice quality writing, it’s rare to look a nice weblog like this one today. I like fotiniroman.com ! It is my: Leonardo AI x Midjourney
