Decking The Halls

I hope that everyone enjoyed Thanksgiving! We staid at home and enjoyed a quiet day. Not really much different from our normal Thanksgiving to be honest. I know that for some of you this year may have looked completely different but I hope that everyone found some joy in the day. 

With Thanksgiving behind us it is time for decking the halls. I started a few weeks ago and have been dragging my feet to finish. 

I am determined to finish most of it today though!

Easy DIY Faux Jadeite Ornaments

Whose already decking the halls? I am! Over the past few weeks I have been pulling my Christmas decor out in anticipation for the most wonderful time of year. I have also been doing a lot of crafting
for this holiday season.

With my love for jadeite and wanting to add to my jadeite collection but not wanting to spend a lot of money last year I attempted to make some jadeite colored ball ornaments for Christmas, the ones where you just squirt the craft paint in the ornament and swoosh it all around. I loved the idea but in the end they mostly turned out to be a hot mess with peeling paint and what not so I never shared. A definite Pinterest fail! LOL.

This year I spied some jadeite colored milk glass ornaments that I fell in love with but with not wanting to spend $13 an ornament my DIY brainstorming began. I would post a pic of my inspiration but I do not want to get fussed at from the company that makes them. Once you see what I came up with you may know which ornaments caught my eye.
