Printable Holidays Garland Banner

Hello, everybody!

There are only couple days left until Christmas holidays which I'm so so waiting for :) I hope you, dear readers, are also excited about this holiday... I assume, all decorations are ready, and gifts are wrapped up. And today, I'd like to share a printable banner which can be like a final touch to your home decorations.



So you just need to download the images, print them, punch holes and attache to a ribbon. And it's ready!

There are 7 digital files in JPG format: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. Every letter is 4x6 inches. I would recommend to print them on pretty much heavy paper on laser printer for best results.

Enjoy! And happy holidays :)

Valentine's Day chocolate gift idea

Hmmm.... Valentine's day is just around the corner. Are you still struggling to find a great gift for the Valentine's day? :) Why not to make a gift with own hands?...

Christmas wreath decoration

In my mother country, there is no tradition to hang up a Christmas wreath... or any other wreath at all :)  That's why this year it's the first time when we have a Christmas wreath on our door. Yes, yes, I'm absorbing :)

I didn't want to buy some artificial wreath, and they are also quite expensive for one time usage (who knows... may be next year I won't hang it up :)  ). I wanted to have one which is made of real pine. That's why, my hubby and I got one in Costco which is made of pine and decorated with some pine cones and berries.

After we hung it up, it was clear that it doesn't look like Christmas one. I had to come up with an idea how to decorate it...
