Well, I have a few minutes this morning, hubby is in the kitchen making pancakes and entertaining the baby.
So I poured a delish cup of Starbucks Christmas Blend coffee, and am sitting down to do my new favourite thing, blog.
I am in the Christmas mode now, and there is no stopping me! This -21 degrees is making everything feel so cozy and nice. It’s amazing how fast our weather changes here – it’s so cliche, but true. To think, last Sunday I was out on our front step, hot in a tank top, putting these Christmas urns together! And now they are covered in a layer of snow!
Moving these pots from our lonely backyard for my fall urns, was such a great idea – now they provide me with such inspiration for holiday decorating, and add much needed festivity to our front step. They were so easy and inexpensive to make. I used lights and greenery I already had, and hit WalMart for the ornaments and fillers.
Over the last few Christmas seasons I have become obsessed with glass balls for decorating inside and outside of our home (Actually they are shatterproof which is a must in our crazy household. These balls bounce across our floor regularily!) I’ve got them on our banisters, mantel, tree, wreaths, the trees outside and now in my urns. But they are so pretty, so colourful and festive!
I challenge you to get decorating, and let me know what kind of neat ideas you have!
Happy decorating, and stay warm this weekend! (If you are looking for something to do, grab a friend or husband/wife/partner, and have a holiday coffee from Starbucks – from Nov 18-21 they are buy one get one free!)
Hi I'm Jo-Anna! I mom. I blog. I cook. I craft. I like pretty things.
Jo, your front step is so beautiful! Everything matches so perfectly, I love the big ribbon! Too bad I can’t take advantage of that Starbucks offer – maybe next time.
Hi Jo-Anna, I just found your blog and I am thrilled. I was looking for Christmas Planter ideas & came across your’s. Beautiful! I can’t wait to see what you do this year. Cheers!
Hi! I love these urns. A couple questions about them though. Is the whole urn filled with garland or is there something on the bottom? Also, are these under an over hang or do you think they can hold up through outdoor elements. Thanks so much for sharing!
i was wondering where you bought the planters. Thank you.
