It's the first Sunday of December, and to go along with the Christmas season, all of my posts on Sunday throughout December will have Christmas songs! And, Christmas related Bible Verses! :D Here's today's: “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests." Luke 2:14 I heard the bells on Christmas day Their old familiar carols play And mild and sweet their songs repeat Of peace on earth, goodwill to men And the bells are ringing (Peace on earth) Like a choir they're singing (Peace on earth) In my heart I hear them (Peace on earth) Peace on earth, goodwill to men And in despair I bowed my head There is no peace on earth I said For hate is strong and mocks the song Of peace on earth, goodwill to men But the bells are ringing (Peace on earth) Like a choir singing (Peace on earth) Does anybody hear them? (Peace on earth) Peace on earth, goodwill to men Then rang the bells more loud and deep God is not dead, nor doth He sleep (Peace on earth, peace on earth) The wrong shall fail, the right prevail With peace on earth, goodwill to men Then ringing singing on its way The world revolved from night to day A voice, a chime, a chant sublime Of peace on earth, goodwill to men And the bells, they're ringing (Peace on earth) Like a choir they're singing (Peace on earth) And with our hearts we'll hear them (Peace on earth) Peace on earth, goodwill to men Do you hear the bells, they're ringing? (Peace on earth) The life the angels singing (Peace on earth) Open up your heart and hear them (Peace on earth) Peace on earth, goodwill to men Peace on earth, peace on earth Peace on earth, goodwill to men Happy Sunday y'all!!
Love, Olivia Halloween is over, and there are a couple more big holidays rapidly approaching. Thanksgiving is just a few weeks away, and Christmas is right around the corner. Today we're going to look into some cute decorations for both of those holidays, AND I'll announce the theme for my Christmas tree (cause I'm weird like that and switch it up every year). Are y'all ready? Let's get on with it, shall we? 1) Glitter Leaves: What happens when you add together Real Leaves from a Real Tree and Glitter!? An adorable decoration that could EASILY be a statement piece on the wall of your dining room for Thanksgiving Dinner. I'd hang cute little tags from them for people to write things they're thankful for on them. 2) Leaf-Lined Mason Jars: These would be great centerpieces with tea lights inside of the jars. I'd use fake leaves, I think they'd adhere better to the mason jars. Okie dokie . . . are y'all ready for my Christmas tree theme? Wanna guess first? Never mind, I'll just go ahead and tell y'all anyway . . . The Nutcracker! From Snowflakes to Sugar Plum Fairies, I'll be designing the Nutcracker tree to end all Nutcracker trees! ;) 3) The Flowers: These don't have a tutorial, but I think I could maybe figure something out. Actually, I will have to figure something out, because I love these little ornaments. I guess I'll have to learn to do some embroidery soon, huh? 4) Nutcracker Paper Doll Ornaments: These add just a wee bit of whimsy. Sarah Jane Studios did a fantastic job with them. I think they're precious! 5) No Sew Ombre Ruffle Tree Skirt: Is it even a Christmas Tree without an adorable tree skirt? I think not. Lol. I want to make mine in pink, and I will definitely have to modify the pattern for my bitty little four foot tree, but I think it will TOTALLY be worth it! 6) Tulle Trees: Y'all!! These are the perfect combo of ballet and Christmas. I think I'll make them for my nightstands to add an additional festive feel to my bedroom this Christmas Season! Now, my only decision to make is whether or not I want the trees to be solid pink. I think these would be precious in a pink and green alternating stripe too! ;) That's all of the Terrific Things for this Tuesday!
Do y'all have a theme for your Christmas Trees? Let me know in the comments below! I'd love to hear about y'all's Christmas Decorations! :D Want more holiday inspiration? Check out my Pinterest Boards! Have a great afternoon, y'all! Love, Olivia |
