Traditionally, we start decorating for Christmas the day after Thanksgiving.  However, I got a small head start yesterday.  

We don’t do a ton of decorating here, its just not my thing really.  A small tree and a few little holiday accents - no giant inflatable snow globes or lights everywhere.  I was inspired by the discovery of a new blog recently, however; and decided to make a wreath to welcome visitors to Two Frog Home.  I did a few things differently than the inspiration source.  I didn’t have any foam wreath frames around, so I made one by tracing a plate onto some scrap cardboard.  I glued some quilt batting scraps onto the cardboard and wrapped it all with some green fleece scrap strips.  I used a hot glue gun to keep everything in place.  I then wrapped some gold & red ribbon around the fleece, glued on a frog (of course there had to be a frog accent), added a ribbon for hanging and, voila my new wreath.

That’s the main door to our home.  The tree garland was the one I bought at the gifts festival a few weeks back.  The curtain, I made from some fabric I found at the thift store.  I was originally going to use it for a table cloth, but couldn’t resist using it as a window dressing for our holiday decorations.
