So since I totally stood everyone up on Wednesday and Friday because I was neck deep in room mom Halloween party projects and trick or treating...and then out of town for a girls weekend, I decided to give you a
three-fer today. No, it isn't Christmas, even though it probably feels that way. I'm a giver, what can I say?
Any who. My decorating tip for Wednesday which is now technically for Friday is this...
wrap some yarn around it. Bam! Kay, I know what you are all thinking...that I've been spending a little too much time with first graders. And you would be correct, but just hear me out on this.
I'll admit, I was wasn't always a fan of the "yarn wrapped" fad, but I soon came to realize the logic and practicality behind it. Yarn is a great tool for adding color, visual interest, a modern touch to anything that may otherwise be bland, boring and ordinary. But what I love even more is that yarn is completely reversible and non-permanent, so if you tire of the look in a week, month or year you aren't out anything but a little yarn and a few minutes of your time.
Trust me...yarn, it's a good thing!

I know most of you probably have Halloween decorations still up...I do. But my mind is already focused on Christmas. I was super happy when I stumbled upon these fabulous little finds at TJ Maxx. And for $7.99 they were the perfect price and the perfect project to help jump start my holiday decorating.
These grapevine deer are a blank canvas just waiting to be personalized and customized to my liking. And when I saw them I knew...yarn!

I was inspired by this little yarn wrapped dear I came across on Pinterest last week.

So, today I spent the morning catching up on some television and wrapping some deer antlers.

If you've got a few things lying around your house that are a little on the dull and boring side, try wrapping them in yarn to give them a little color and pizazz.
