Crafting...

Thursday afternoon - while Bryan napped - I perused Pinterest and found two fabulous crafty ideas... 

The first was a "Noel" display.  In the Pinterest picture, they used 3-D wooden letters.  I found these flat wooden letters at Hobby Lobby.  Since I wasn't sure - A) how mine was going to turn out; B) where I was going to display it, I opted for flat letters.
 
Supplies:
Wooden letters "N, E, L"

Sponge brushes
Grapevine wreath
Red berries
Hot glue gun

A quick run through Starbucks for some hot chocolate sans vanilla flavoring and a stop at Bed, Bath, and Beyond...  I'm happy to report, the hangers were $6.99 each...and if you happen to go with Bryan, he will pull a $5 off coupon out of his wallet.  What a blessing!  The coupon required a $15 purchase so I picked up two much-needed spice shakers ($1 each)!!!
