DIY Pom Wreath




 I have wanted to make one of these Pom wreaths ever since I saw people making them last Christmas! Ha! Better late than never right?! Apparently there is a Pom Maker you can buy at the craft store but I found this easy and fast way to make the poms effective and cheaper!

Supplies
~4 Bundles of a thick (large loop) yarn
~Straw Wreath
~Hot Glue Gun
~Ribbon (optional to hang)






To begin making your poms wrap the yarn around your hand about 35-40 times.  For most of mine I did 37 wraps. Cut it free from the 
yarn bundle.  




Slide the wrapped yarn off your hand and place on top of a 8-9 " long piece of yarn.



Tie together the two end pieces




Slide your scissors into the looped yarn on each side and cut.  Fluff out the pom and cut any uneven pieces. 




There is your pom pom! 





I dabbed a bit of hot glue and held it on to my straw wreath for about 10 seconds.  You will make three rows of Poms on your wreath.  An inside row, a top row and the outer row.  I left my back of the wreath bare so it would lay flat on the wall.




It's amazing how it fluffs out and looks so soft and poufy! Fast, easy, cute and inexpensive!

4 Tips for Selling Your Home!

*Sponsored Post. Thank you to our talented guest blogger, Alex Berger, for sharing these 4 tips on selling your home!* Selling your home can be extremely stressful, but if you are in the beginning stages of the home selling process, I have a few tips for you! About four years ago, my parents packed up their home and moved from Marietta, Georgia to Amelia Island, which is about 30-40 minutes from the Jacksonville airport. They had no idea what to expect when it came to buying in a city that was completely new to them (they had only visited Jacksonville once - for two days!), so it was pretty stressful for them. Now, looking back, they could have done many things differently in order to make the process a lot easier for themselves, especially when it came to selling their home. But, since the selling process is so complex and stressful, a lot of people do it “wrong,” and they are just one of many, which is why I want to help. Here are a few tips for selling your home.

Neutrals by BEHR Paint

I've been working on a project for the past two weeks and what always seems to be the most challenging part is choosing paint colors.  I have been wanting to find a nice neutral that isn't too "Gray" and isn't too "Beige" but not too white either. I personally like the look of white walls in pictures but in reality I'm not a huge fan.  Also, I like to see a contrast between painted walls and white trim.  Each time I look over on Pinterest for inspiration I find lots of suggestions for other paint brands..but I'm a BEHR girl :)  We spend so much time at Home Depot it just makes more sense for us.  That being said I decided to share with all of you my suggestions for finding the perfect "light Greige" by BEHR Paints!   To start off with here are three options that are lighter/cooler but will still show a nice contrast next to white. 1. Drizzle 2. Sterling 3. Halation These three options are als
