Christmas Tree Garland

Looking for a stylish last-minute holiday decoration? Check out this lovely modern Christmas tree garland by Bastienne, featured on Bloesem. Bastienne’s garland is made from wallpaper — love the graphic black and white patterns, which are a cool alternative to the traditional red and green — though you could make a garland out of any material you’d like: scrapbooking paper, recycled magazine or catalog pages, recycled holiday cards, a homemade pattern, etc.

Apologies for the late posting today — I’m just finishing up the most chaotic part of my holiday season, which includes much baking, gift wrapping, and waiting in line at the super busy post office to mail packages to family and friends.

Thankfully, I can now breathe a little sigh of relief (the big sigh comes when everyone has received their package in one piece) and talk about these adorable printable stationery sets from Little Brown Pen. The Mitten and Stocking packages include everything that you’ll need for a coordinated and economical holiday: printable templates for a folded notecard, a flat notecard, a gift card, and an envelope. Purchase the templates, add paper and a printer, and voilà … an entire holiday paper suite!

I also love the idea of these printable coloring cards, a great alternative to a coloring book and a fun way to spend a holiday afternoon with the kids … or crayon-loving adults, like myself.
