Happy New Year's everybody! Thank you so much for all of your support this year. It means the world to me.

How was your New year's eve celebrations? What you all do? Mine was very quiet and peaceful. My sister and I started a tradition last year to find some really cool unique hat to wear on New Year's day. If you have been following my blog for a while, you may remember that I DIYed last years hat (here).

I have a couple of New Year's Resolutions:
1. Eat healthier
2. Not to take to heart the things I cannot control.
3. Try and be a bit more outgoing.

What is your New Year's Resolution(s)?

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, spent with those you love.

DIY: Floating Christmas Ornaments

I have to give credit where credit is due. My mom thought of this one and just helped execute the idea. It's the perfect fix for the extra ornaments you may not have used for your Christmas tree. How amaze is this?! She's so brilliant!

What You'll Need:

transparent string

clear thumb tacks

scissors

ornaments ($2 @ Big Lots)

Directions:

1. Take a piece of the transparent string and tie one end of it around an ornament.

2. Take the other end of string and tie it around the thumb tack twice to secure it.

3. Push the tack into the ceiling.

Voila!
