A Blogger who really shouldn't be a blogger

This is a story about a blogger ( who really shouldn't be a blogger )

She tries ( really really tries ) to keep up and is always behind

Most evenings find her in a panic trying desperately to respond to comments ( of which she usually fails miserably )
For this reason
A simple thank you seems so unfitting because there's a connection with the ladies who leave them -
But the kind of replies she wants to type up are lengthy which leaves her completely overwhelmed - so she mostly replies in her head.

She also fails miserably at visiting people site's.....................

Her photos leave a lot to be desired

AND the number one reason she's a blogger who really shouldn't be blogging is when she tried to delete some posts she had in her DRAFT file - she accidentally deleted current posts ( which have been linked to parties ) so when people click on the link they get
NOTHING.....................

This blogger who really shouldn't be blogging has been thinking a lot.

Deeply on this subject.

New Years resolution this year will be one of 2 things.

1)  Become a better blogger
2)  Fade into the sunset

Either way there's still 3 weeks of being a blogger who really shouldn't be blogging.

Now you know why you don't see the last few current posts.
How embarrassing.

One of the posts she accidentally deleted showed a photo of this


Just a pile of wood she had laying around from other reno projects -
It now looks like this




The blogger ( who really shouldn't be blogging ) recently got a new camera ( cheapy ) and couldn't figure out how to turn off the flash...................so all photos of this project are going to be crap ( even pic monkey can't save her here )
But she HAS to show you a tutorial on this one because it's the simplest project you can imagine.

Now the blogger ( who really shouldn't be blogging ) has to go downstairs and finish this baby.............

Have a wonderful Sunday one and all !!!

Much love,
A frazzled Me,

Easy DIY Christmas Wreaths

Good morning everyone !

I had a bunch of garland that we used to use outside on our veranda in the city - it was a little " beaten up " from the elements - and since we no longer have an outdoor veranda in the front - I decided to repurpose them into wreaths.

I simply cut them with wire snippers to the desired length and folded each end into each other and voila !



New wreaths for the kitchen


The great thing about making them this way is you can customize the size of them - I wanted small ones for the kitchen buffet -


The pine cones were already a part of this garland - but it would be nothing to add some to these -
Or anything at all for that matter !

I hung them by placing a tack on the inside of the doors and draping the ribbon over ( so I wouldn't damage the front of the doors ( who cares about the back of them, right?  lol )


And so a new obsession was born, just like that

One ( oversized ) garland made all these - they're just waiting to have red berries attached to them


I think I have 4 more garlands - so this shall be named " The Year of the Wreaths "


Have a wonderful day !!!
Much love,
Me
