Dirt Road Adventures – T’was the week before Christmas

Or should that be – T’was the week of Christmas? Hey friends, it doesn’t really matter because it’s hard to believe that Christmas is almost upon us! I had so many fun project ideas that I never got around to making. But there’s always next year! Am I right?

Today I thought I’d share a few more of my favorite projects and take a look back at my 2 favorite projects I’ve shared with you previously this holiday season.

I also found some great project ideas that my friends have shared, so let’s take a look!

This is a look back at all my adventures this past week.

We had our annual Christmas party and it was so great being with friends and family again this year.

Charcuterie board with meats, pickles and cheese.

See How to make Salami Roses in video below.

The Christmas partying continued later this past week when our Kure Beach Girls met at a friends house.

In case you missed it

I shared a Simple Christmas Tablescape on the porch and 15 Vintage Decorating Ideas for a Modern Farmhouse Christmas. Just click on the highlighted post names to link to each post.

To get a head start on New Year’s Eve, our Supper Club crew shared Table Setting Ideas and a Full Menu with recipes. We hope these ideas will help to get your plans together.

Adventures off the Dirt Road

Why Didn’t I Think of That?

Each week, there are so many wonderful blog posts, and I’m sharing some of my favorites with you today.

There are so many creative ideas, and I’m always asking myself, “Why didn’t I think of that”? LOL

First, these are my two favorite projects for the holiday’s that I shared with you this year.

The replica of our antique hod turned out better than expected for a DIY Tree Stand.

The Easy Christmas Tree ornaments were surprisingly easy and fun to make.
