I survived Thanksgiving! Hope you did too! Our Xmas decorations are in full swing now given that according to my 6 year old, there are 26 more days til Xmas. This was a Pinspiration. I found something similar on Pinterest but now I can't for the life of me find the pin to show you. I believe the pinner used metal letters to create their banner. Mine are wood (from A.C.

I whipped up this quick holiday banner the other night. It's super simple. All you need is some sheet music, paper, glue, twine and clothes pins.

So petite that three easily fit...

The candle holder was $6.99 - pretty pricey for Goodwill but I couldn't resist considering it came from Target where it was probably originally double the price. I also got 5 little bottles that I plan to embellish. First makeover is the bucket: Can you tell I ran out of white spray...
