DIY Christmas Decor
Ah! The moving company is here today to get an estimate for one out of three shipments of our upcoming move to Japan. It’s really happening friends!! We are headed over at the beginning of the year. We had a little scare yesterday about possibly having to leave our dog behind but I think it’s going to get worked out. I might have had a little freak out. She is part of our family!! We did end the evening with an awesome oyster roast at a friend’s house with most of our favorite NC friends. Not a bad way to spend a Monday evening.
In the meantime, check out these beautiful modern takes on traditional Christmas decor. All DIY of course!!

Love all the Christmas projects. And it would have been awful to have to leave your dog behind. I’m so hoping it works out. Maybe you want to write about your dog in my pet series one day!?!?! 😉
I would love to Julia!! We find out Monday what’s going to happen with our flight. My husband will put up a pretty good fight to get her out there with us!
Oh gosh!! What a fun and exciting adventure …but I am so sorry you have to leave your dog behind! I hope when you say you got it worked out, that means the dog is making the trip too! I can’t imagine! 🙂
And what a fabulous round up of Christmas decor you have here!! Thanks so much for including mine. 🙂

Thanks Nancy! The dog ordeal has been so up and down, we find out for sure next week when we get our plane tickets. Thanks so much for letting me share your projects. I can’t wait to feature your Christmas tour.
Great inspiration for Christmas. Lovely projects
I’m so glad you enjoyed them. So many amazing talented gals out here!
Thank you for sharing my gold lanterns in your round up! I appreciate it so much! ~Michelle
They turned out simply lovely Michelle and they look so expensive!
Thanks for featuring my yarn wreath, Kathy! Good luck on your move. I’ve always wanted to live in Japan. I’ll hafta see what dockets are available once my husband finishes this tour. Take care!
Wouldn’t that be fun if you came to Japan? I keep wondering if I’ll meet other bloggers out there. I LOVED your yard wreath Jennifer, it’s just gorgeous!
Thanks for sharing my faux birch logs!! It’s a fun project.
Do you live in Japan? I wonder what that would be like to craft there. My daughter is going to China to teach English for a semester. She is super excited.

Your faux birch logs are amazing. You must have some painting background. 😉 We are moving to Japan in Jan and are very exciting. I’ve already done research to see what craft supplies are available there. I’m a little concern about finding great paint colors but I hear there’s Washi tape everywhere! (Of course!) What an exciting adventure for your daughter. We hope to visit China while we are out there. It’s a three year tour.
Thank you so much for including the link to the cinnamon-applesauce ornaments! (Sorry I’m late to the proverbial party!)
Thanks for always helping me out when I need it Cher!!
