Celebrate Your Story! #302

Celebrate Your Story! Link Party

Hey everyone! Sorry I’ve been MIA the last two weeks. I’ve been riding the struggle bus of trying to balance family responsibilities with blogging. It’s been rough! My goal for 2022 is to get more organized and focused on the best ROI for my blogging hours. Have you set goals for yourselves this new year?

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your families! Now we’re in the home stretch to Christmas. Bring it on!

Let’s check out some wonderful features, shall we?

Christin from My Homier Home shared her detailed Christmas decorating guide. I love her organized and strategic method! One tip is to create little vignettes around the house, like this cute gnome perched on a book stack.

Christmas decorating isn’t complete without a Nativity scene! This neutral set looks lovely with the chippy barn and candles. Penny from Penny’s Vintage Home set this up atop a dresser in her master bedroom.

When I think of ramen noodles, I’m reminded of my college freshman days when we’d make this inexpensive meal using an illegal hot plate in out dorm room! But times have changed, and noodle bars are now trendy and upscale. Estelle from Homemade on a Weeknight made this quick and healthy Turkey Ramen Stir-Fry. I’ll definitely be making this for dinner soon!

These stockings look so special with personalized name tags! Janet from A Life of Balance created the tags with her Cricut machine. I love the addition of the bows, too.

Would you like to know how to make a hand tied bouquet? Kimberly of From Farmhouse to Florida shared a great tutorial using silk flowers. I love how she displayed three bouquets in this antique green tool carrier!

These DIY Jute Twine Ornaments are perfect for rustic Christmas decor! Ann from The Apple Street Cottage made them using a balloon as a mold. What a fun craft and a great gift idea!

The most clicked link of the week is from Lisa of Fresh Vintage by Lisa S. She shared her technique to make a stenciled sign using multiple colors of paint. I’m loving how she styled the cute sign with her vintage goodies!
