Tip Me Tuesday - DIY Advent Wreath

Happy Tuesday - now that you have put away all the fall related decor and sorted through all the Christmas and holiday decor, there is one thing left to do! If you celebrate the season of Advent, it's time to get out or make your own Advent Wreath!

There are so many beautiful wreaths and ideas out there for advent. I have a Pinterest board full of them!

I love to make our own and it's so easy to do! I am sharing some pictures of an Advent Wreath that we made a few years ago that I am going to duplicate this year.

I used a cake stand. This one happens to be from Dayspring and has scripture on it.

A twig wreath from the dollar store.

Some pine branches from our yard and a few candles.

You can see how I put it all together. I displayed it on our table and there you go!

The children loved it and so did I.

Here are some other ideas I thought were perfect!

Whatever you celebrate, I pray you do it with love and zeal!

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor
