I know that it is a little late in the game to be talking about Holiday Decor, since its only 2 days until Christmas, but this can be a great time to get amazing deals on holiday decor and pieces. Also I know that there are a few of you out there who probably have an empty wall that needs a little something extra for your Christmas company.
Our friend and follower, Stacey, is always coming up with crafty DIY projects to do with her 2 little girls. This Christmas she created 2 adorable DIY holiday decor projects, that she kindly shared with us! First she shows us how to make adorable giant snowflakes made our of branches, and then an adorable and festive NOEL sign for her living room.
