DIY Christmas Card Wreath

DIY CHRISTMAS CARD WREATH

For all those Christmas Cards that you have no place to display!

I have seen a tutorial on one of these, but it used some pretty expensive items, mine however only cost $10! And was SUPER EASY.

 

I used a $3.99 pressed wood ring, that I got at the craft store next to the $11 Styrofoam ring. I just painted it with $.87 Green, White and Red acrylic paint.

I also painted the $1 pack of clothes pins with polka dots and stripes with the same paint. My 3y old helped! It was a lot of fun.

 Then I cut 2 different patterned ribbon (only $.99 a roll!) into about 6" strips. And tied them around the wreath at equal intervals. And hot glued my painted clothes pins in between! I tied one extra ribbon at the top for hanging and BAM! You have a super cute Christmas Card Holder!

Add this to your Kids Christmas Craft list this year and 

cherish it for years to come!

Healthy Snack for Kiddo and Me:)

Today, I was on a mission! I wanted a healthy snack for myself and my daughter, who isn't normally a picky eater. But when it comes to snack time she is a little demanding. 

We have a lot of marshmallows lying around from pies and things during Thanksgiving, and upcoming Christmas. She has been begging for them every second. So today I got a little creative. I mixed just a few into our healthy PB and added some raisins and celery! She scarfed it in 2 minutes! 

Healthy PB Fluff Dip!

And as for me, I am dieting from and for the holidays.. Who isn't? And I have this dip mix that is so delicious that I wanted so bad. So instead of the usual mayo/sour cream mix, I did non-fat Greek yogurt, and hot sauce. And it was really good! I know that everyone talks about substituting Greek yogurt for all kinds of things, but being a mayo fanatic I was skeptical. But it is actually really good, and curbed my craving. In just 60 cals! VICTORY!
