another christmas activity!

I had a Top 5 Tuesday post idea, but didn't have time to get it together...hopefully next week!

Only 5 more days until my final class of graduate school!

I'm pretty much done with my portion of my group's business plan so all that's left for me to do is practice, practice, practice. We've got to give a 45 minute presentation in front of the Dean, our professor, and two additional professors on Saturday morning. It's also going to be in front of about 30 of my peers. I'm not nervous per say, but that could easily change as the day gets closer.

I had some time on my lunch break to explore Target. I haven't been in at least a month! I was feeling a little crafty and had an idea in mind for an easy, inexpensive Christmas decoration.

I did something similar to this idea, posted by The Pleated Poppy.

Target had hot pink wreaths in their bargain section, for $2.50. I then went to scour the ornament section, and I found an 8-count ornament set for $5 and matching mini ornaments (set of 24) for $5. Then I picked up a silver bow from the gift wrapping section for $3. And, that's all I needed!

I'm horrible at posting "step by step" directions because let's face it, most of my crafting ideas are not my own, and the original blogger has already posted detailed tutorials so I can just direct you there instead of repeating it all...so with that said, here's the final result!

Here is the unedited version, so you can see the actual colors...it's really bright! I guess it's not traditional Christmas colors, but everything is better when it's hot pink, right?! :)
