Friday Favorites Linky Party Week 352
Merry Christmas Eve Eve! Lacey asked me to put up our favorite Christmas marquee sign to make sure Santa doesn't forget our house. She's hoping for a new squeaky tennis ball because you never can have too many tennis balls to hide under every piece of furniture in the house.
Let's party!

8 DIY Gift Bow Tutorials
I obsolete love topping a hand wrapped present with a big fluffy bow.
Which I never seem to have on hand because all too often I end up wrapping gifts at Zero Hour.
Fortunately, the person receiving my pretty present is none the wiser because I now tie my own big, fluffy, and I dare say fabulous gift bows from real ribbon or paper - yes paper! – I have on hand in my gift wrapping box.

DIY Giant Peppermint Candy Gift Wrap Tutorial
My husband is a dedicated runner. He runs in even the worst weather conditions, cross trains to prevent injuries, checks in with his doctor about his nutritional needs, and as a result often drinks a protein shake after a workout.
I have so many empty protein powder containers it isn’t even funny. However considering how it contributed to Husband coming in first in his age group and 19th overall out of 800+ runners during his last race, I’m OK with it for the most part.
I repurpose the containers as often as I can for storage before settling on the recycling bin solution. Originally, I was going to upcycle the protein powder containers into GIANT peppermint stick candy decorations and use them to decorate our front porch for Christmas.
After Lacey and I finished the project, I decided to use them as peppermint candy Christmas gift boxes instead. I ran out of cardboard gift boxes and in all honesty, I don’t want to deal with the folks who make fun of my DIY fabric gift bags this year.

Not that I know anything about that.

How to Make Your Christmas Tree Look Fuller
In addition to our family’s main Christmas tree, my husband and I decorate the upstairs landing with my hand me down (formerly) single gal Christmas tree.
Our little Christmas tree is starting to show its age. The pine needles are in a perpetual state of squished and refuse to fluff. When one of the branches snapped off in my hand this year, I thought it was time to retire it after many years of service.
But with a dose of Christmas magic in disguise as a few decorating hacks I made our scrawny tree look full and gave it new continued life!
You can use these Christmas tree decorating ideas for both live and artificial Christmas trees although obviously you won’t be able to fluff and adjust the branches of a live tree like a fake one. Either type of Christmas tree will allow you to shove a broken Christmas tree branch back into the tree to fill a hole. Guess how I know?
