With the weather turning colder and grayer, I started doing a few things. The first is making Christmas decorations for the house, making Christmas gifts, and cooking. Not just cooking, baking as well. With the weather being cooler it is the perfect time to fire up the oven and stove and put them to really good use. It is also a good time to start getting ready for the holidays and making Christmas decorations and gifts.
This candelabra was quick and easy to make, and was done with a used pine spray with three candle holders in it. I simply took off all the old, outdated decor, washed off the grime, and after it dried I used hot glue to attach votive holders to it. There is actually a 50 light strand of clear lights I integrated into the greenery to add a bit of sparkle even when the candles are not lit. The rest is simply a few holiday picks and a couple of flowers I cut off of a bunch bought at the local craft store. The colors I chose match the colors of the decorations we chose for the Christmas tree this year. I am using some of the same flowers I used in the candelabra on the tree to pull them together.
I made my first batch of sugar cookies, which freeze nicely, as well as some loaves of pumpkin bread. I also made some Key Lime Bars for dessert tonight, so today has been a very productive day. I only hope I can keep up the momentum!
