Field Trip Friday with What Meegan Makes 2012 Christmas Tour

Well here we are…In Christmas season, already!!  And it is Field Trip Friday with What Meegan Makes 2012 Christmas Tour.
I thought it would be fun to share with some of my new readers my home at Christmas time last year.  It still inspires me while I decorate for this year.
As you enter our home this is what you will find.  Snow Globes, Christmas shelves,  and branches  filled with snow flakes and DIY birdhouses.
On my Thrifted coffee table you will enjoy my grandpa’s croquet box filled with snow flakes, ornaments, candle, and book page cones.  I also included my DIY Chalkboards clipped with painted clothes pins.
I love to collect Nativity sets.  This is the first one I received from a friend when she visited Italy.  I love the look under a cloche.
This “Elf on the Shelf” was my mom’s when she was a child in the 40s.  He has been in our home as long as I can remember.
I painted all of these little birdhouses and found some branches outside.  I love this look and a little bit of personality.
I have 3 Christmas trees this year.  Each has it’s on style for the room that they have found home.
Hubby collects snow globes.  His wish is to have enough for each grand baby to eventually choose their own.  They each play music as well. Pure magic for the grand kiddos.
My view from the kitchen into the living room.
Probably one of my favorite rooms in our home during the Christmas season.  The guest bathroom.  The birdhouse was a gift from my dad.  Doesn’t this look so inviting?
Thanks for joining me today for Field Trip Friday with What Meegan Makes 2012 Christmas Tour.  I hope you enjoyed your stay.  Come back again soon!
Make it a Field Trip Friday!

DIY Herb & Pine Cone Filled Fire Starter

November 21, 2013 By Meegan 2 Comments

 

Happy Thursday!!  The holidays are coming upon us and we better start get ready soon!!  Is it cold where you live?  It is cooler here, but not COLD yet.  I sure miss our wood stove we had in the hills of California.  And, I also wish I had been able to use a DIY Herb and Pine Cone Filled Fire Starter for those cold Winter months.

These are a great Holiday gift and fun for your own home.  Besides that-they are EASY PEASY to make…

DIY Herb & Pine Cone Filled Fire Starter
 My components were:

newspaper

strips of cardboard

sprigs of fresh thyme

pine cones

paper doilies

twine and/or string

small tags (optional)

 

I “wrapped” the pine cone with cardboard and then tucked in the thyme.  I chose thyme, because the aroma will fill your home with a wonderful fresh, clean scent, that only thyme can give.
Rolling the pine cone in a newspaper tube, I tied each end with twine.
DIY Herb & Pine Cone Filled Fire Starter
Using a paper doily, my small tag and string, I tied the doily around the tied newspaper and pine cone.
Yep, it IS that easy!!
Won’t your friends and neighbors love this simple and festive gift?  It is a perfect hostess gift for your Holiday and Christmas parties.  You can make your tags personalized for each friend or neighbor, too.

Be sure to pin this so you can use a DIY Herb & Pine Cone Filled Fire Starter for your campfires and fire pits during the Summer months, too.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I love your comments and ideas.

Make it a terrific day.
