Gorgeous Holiday Table Setting Ideas
Part of making the holidays extra special is setting the mood and creating a beautiful table for your holiday meal that shows that you took some extra care for your loved ones.

We also covered two Ikea glass jars with birch wood that was filled with roses from our…

DIY Christmas Craft & Decor Ideas

So I am planning on making some other holiday crafts that we can make to celebrate the season and put up and away from prying puppy eyes. Hope you enjoy these holiday ideas as well!
