I hope you have been enjoying Simply The BEST of 2013!!  Now it is my turn to share Simply The Best of 2013-What Meegan Makes. What Meegan Makes started on Dec 27, 2011.  Yep, it has been 2 full years of posts, creativity, amazing followers, and lots of fun friendships.  Thanks so much for joining me on this journey of What Meegan Makes.  It was a very slow start.  I was doing blogging all on my own until about a year ago.  I “met” some amazing bloggers that invited me to their “groups” and “troops” to help spread the word about my blog.  I am SO grateful from them.  (There are too many to mention)  I am a blessed woman, without a doubt.

 

I am looking forward to a new year full of ideas, inspiration and a new look.  Hopefully, my blog will continue to be a place of inspiration, recipes, thrifting, and wonderful thoughts for you to visit each day.  I also hope to make the blog more accessible for all of my readers and followers.  It will be a fabulous year!!

I’ve Got The Monday Blues For A Little Christmas Shelf

December 2, 2013 By Meegan 2 Comments

[slideshow_deploy id=’5749′]

I’ve Got The Monday Blues For A Little Christmas Shelf and I am excited to share it with you today!  You KNOW that I LOVE blue, right?  I have a shelf that I thrifted, refreshed and now it hangs in our “office”.  I decided to add a little Christmas cheer by adding a few things I already own.

You may also know how much I like to use empty frames to decorate our home.  This shelf is no exception.  Staggering 4 of my favorite frames I began to set up my shelf.

I've Got The Monday Blues For a Little Christmas ShelfI bought tiny birdhouses at Jo-Ann and painted them with some of my favorite blues and whites last year.  While the paint was still wet, I sprinkled iridescent glitter on each one.  SO EASY!

I made the light blue tulle wreath for our son’s wedding from an embroidery hoop.  EASY!!  I found the “let it snow” sign in the dollar section at Target.  (Gotta love the dollar section, right?)

I've Got The Monday Blues For a Little Christmas ShelfI also made the small blue/green frame with the flower.  I found the brooch at Hobby Lobby.  I enjoy using this frame all year long.  I really like the addition of the glitter and how each birdhouse shimmers in the light.

And one last look at my Little Christmas Shelf.  While I am working on blog posts, I can look up and it makes me smile to see a little Christmas Cheer.

What do you have in your office for some Christmas Cheer?

I’ve Got The Monday Blues For A Little Christmas Shelf, do you, too???

Thanks for stopping by today and making my day a little brighter…
