Well....I finally had to admit defeat. Despite the persistent 30 degree daytime temperatures throughout September, the "barely above freezing" at night wreaked havoc on my flower planters. Begrudgingly I pulled out the flowers and stuck in some scarecrows. Bring on fall! I can't stop it from coming.....might as well embrace it! *wink*
....and....I saw this nifty little garland idea in a Christmas magazine once-upon-a-time (can't remember which one.....). For two Christmases now I've been planning on making one for our tree...but have never had the time or the energy at tree decorating time. ;) I stumbled upon some Halloween scrapbook paper in my basement (K and Company from several seasons ago) and decided to make one for Halloween instead! I think I'll hang it in our front window.
I used a 2" craft circle punch and cut out several sheets of coordinating paper...then I glued two circles together on a long strand of jute string. Easy peasy! Get yourself a punch and make one/some of your own. FYI.....I wouldn't have attempted this without a punch, however.....imaging cutting out all those little circles with scissor. My hand aches just thinking about it.....groan!
Now that I see it's really not that time consuming, I think this may be the Christmas I actually get one made for the tree!
