golden cake mix.

Where did you get those?What do you mean you made them?

!” So yeah, if a nine year old is excited about one of my crafts, then that’s a big deal..I first made a few of these a couple of years ago for Kennedy’s birthday party, but I had to bring this craft out again for the bedroom makeover we’ve been doing for her because they just make any space look fun and festive and just generally awesome – for pennies!And it’s one of the least-frustrating crafts that you can do.

If you’ve made these before, then you know why I’m so enthused about them.If not, oh my goodness are you ever about to love me!.

First of all, they’re so easy that I didn’t even make these this time.

I let Kennedy do all the work and take all the credit and I just snapped some pictures while we did a little back deck crafting.We pinned up some dollar store garlands left over from last year and tied a little piece of red ribbon on our Mason Jar light..

This is my Spring wreath, which became my Fall wreath, which is now another Christmas wreath..I kept my $7 lanterns and my stools from the Fall mud room and just filled them with various Christmas bits and bobs.. A dollar store Christmas tree, dollar store ribbon, and left over burlap and pine cones.

You can see just a bit of the hand painted sign I made last year when I seemed to have a bit more time on my hands.. How nice will it be when we have the wood floors one day?.Kennedy decorated under the windows with whatever she felt like from the Christmas boxes.. Yup, that’s Dora!.
