A WandafulThing 12 Days of Christmas 2019 – Day 1

Eek, I’m so excited that my 12 Days of Christmas has begun. I usually try to stick to a theme each year, but this year I am going back to the basics of why I started my blog and that was to inspire you to make, bake, create and decorate. Over the next four weeks I will share some simple, easy and budget friendly ideas just in time for the holidays.

I am starting off with an adorable, simple paper (cardstock) angel. This cute little gal makes a great tree decoration. You could make a whole bunch and and string them together to make a garland.

A WandafulThing 12 Days of Christmas 2017 – Day 8

Welcome to Day 8 of my 12 Days of Christmas 2017. I am so glad you are here. If you have been following along for the 12 Days of Christmas 2017 posts you know that the theme of my 12 posts are about either thrifted, gifted or vintage Christmas presents that I am giving this year.

I have a friend who is crazy for angels, all shapes and sizes, as a matter of fact she just purchased and is displaying a 6ft wire light up angel for her front lawn. I am going to help her add to her angel collection with this lovely vintage Lenox angel Christmas ball ornament that lights up. It can be used as a tabletop decoration or hung on the tree.

I had purchased this in July and had tucked it away for her for Christmas. I didn’t even realize it lit up until I pulled it out to wrap it. I think she is lovely, don’t you?

It’s been a great deal of fun preparing for this event, and I can’t wait to show you what the next Wandaful Thing is – be sure to come back for Day 9.
