Creative Organizing. A while back, I posted a picture of my Thankful Tree, which came from an idea I found on Pinterest. (Thanks, Pinterest!) I was a little sad at having to take it down to make room for our Christmas decorations, but Aby gave me a great idea… My tree has now been reborn as a Wishing Tree! I gathered these branches from my backyard this fall. I liked the bare wood for the Thankful Tree, but now after spray-painting them silver, they look so sophisticated. I cut bright white stars out of cardstock (thanks to the die cut at our local library), then hole-punched them. This tree is sitting on a table in our entryway, which is an area we walk through or past constantly. From the small to the big things, each star represents our family’s hopes and dreams for this year. It looks so pretty! I’m not sure how long the tree will be up, but I will find a way to keep those top goals on display throughout the year. Happy New Year! P.S. New Year's Resolution Kit Printable.

On the fireplace, I did a grouping of clocks. I had fun at the party store buying silver and black noise makers, hats, glow sticks, and beads.
