Hey everyone! If you are anything like me, you like to decorate for seasons. BUT, you don’t want to go to a lot of trouble or take too much time. I have my best and easiest 10 DIY Seasonal Banners here, just for you.

Do you have that ONE special recipe that your family asks for year after year at Christmastime? I am pretty sure our family has three, 4 or even 5 recipes that are their faves. Especially since we have seven kids, that means lots of variety and tastes. BUT, with that being said, it wouldn’t be Christmas in our family without Bing Crosby singing, “I’ll Be Home For Christmas” and my Christmas Finger Cookie Recipe.

These light finger shaped cookies are ALWAYS a big hit. Made from scratch? Absolutely! Real butter? Of course!

I found a sparse wreath at an “after Christmas” sale a few years ago. I have been using it on our front door every Christmas ever since. I liked it because it had various pine needles, pine cones and berries. (I just love the touch of berries).

It’s simple and easy. PLUS, you can use what you already have. No reason in spending money when you don’t have to, right?

Now that our home is decorated for Christmas, it’s time to start wrapping gifts. To keep my home in order, I have created my own DIY Christmas Gift Wrapping Supplies Organization.
With a few craft supplies, I am able to hide my wrapping supplies in “plain sight”.

I am always looking for my paper scissors and the tape. My ribbon is always tucked away in a grocery bag. So with just a little creativity, I now have my DIY Christmas Gift Wrapping Supplies Organization. AND, it’s pretty, too.
