Decorate your front door with this easy to make front door Summer Sandal Wreath.

Summer Sandal Wreath

The summery touch of sandals, bright collection of artificial flowers and welcome sign were all purchased from the dollar store. I hand painted the sign to match the flowers and sandals.

This colourful summer wreath was put together for under 20 dollars.

A spectacular time of the year when all the trees and shrubs start to bloom. I have several fruit bearing trees in my yard that for a very short time make my backyard look stunning.

Sour Cherry tree blossoms

My Sour Cherry tree is a small tree maybe 6ft. high but every year the blossoms are magnificent!

My apple tree is going to be producing a great harvest this year from the loads of blossoms. Hopefully the waxwings don’t come to dine.

red and gold Christmas tree IMG_3565

The tradition in our family is to decorate the Christmas tree on December 2nd. This was my tree from 2013, so check back soon for my 2014 tree. The Christmas tree is usually the focal point of any Christmas decor and also starts many of our family Christmas traditions. I have always decorated my home with reds and golds. I have too much invested to change my colours now, but I always love when I see homes done in blues and silver or the bold colours of purple and lime green. One year I will start from scratch and go with a very rustic theme and hand paint the ornaments. I hope everyone has a joyous season preparing for the Christmas holiday.

Making outdoors Christmas planters is a beautiful touch to decorating the outside
of your home for the festive season. Winter planters create a warm welcome for those holiday visitors. I start my Christmas planters by filling my pots or urns with sand, this makes it easy to stuff branches into place. I love to cut greenery such as pine, boxwood and cedar from trees in my yard, then fill in with other greenery from our local greenhouse. Some things that add beautiful colour are berry sprigs, magnolia leaves, pine cones and Christmas balls. Finish your planters off with bows, ribbon, burlap or decorative mesh.
