Welcome back to the {3rd annual} weekly DIY holiday linky party! This week the countdown to Christmas begins! How is it December already?

My holiday posts this past week include:

and I guess that’s all. lol But, seriously – I have more holiday projects to share but pictures are awaiting editing and blog posts are pending. Oops. Sometimes it’s hard to find a balance between working on projects and decorating and working on editing photos and blogging. More to come this week!

I haven’t shared this yet, but planning a Christmas tree party starting next week! Here’s a look at the family room all fun and festive…

• No sew {or sew} ombre ruffled tree skirt tutorial
• DIY chevron reindeer games sign
• DIY lighted starburst tree topper tutorial coming this week

Last week’s Holiday Highlights party was filled with so much beautiful inspiration! Very.Pineresting. Crazy talented Christmas spirit! Love it! I especially loved numbers 4, 5, 10, 15, 41, okay, all of them really. You’ll have to pop over and take a look at the thumbnails to see! Or follow my Christmas Pinboards.
