No doubt you are busily shoveling snow, or frosting cookies, or stuffing stockings, so I’m just popping in with a quick project I wanted to share before taking some time away to enjoy Christmas with my family. I’ll be back next week with my favorite Better Afters of 2013!
Til then, please enjoy this festive and earth-friendly makeover from Amanda at Mommy is Coo Coo. She had a big box of burned out Christmas bulbs, but did she let that darken her holiday spirit? No sir! Did she let it Ebenezer her Scrooge? I don’t know what that means. But no! She turned them into a wreath to enjoy for years to come. She even painted a few to match her color scheme. Such a fun use of something that most would consider totally useless.
Happy Holidays to you my friend! Wishing you all the peace and joy in the world and beyond. Thanks so much for your support and encouragement, for submitting and sharing your work with me, and for your overall total awesomeness. See you next year!

December 26, 2013 at 12:05 PMYes, I found them at a furniture store in Phoenix called Pruitt’s. I wish I knew the manufacturer or name of the set but I don’t! Just saw them on display and liked em!
