I’ve teamed up with some awesome bloggy friends to bring you Christmas in July!
Every Wednesday in July we will be sharing and linking up Christmas themed projects! I hope you’ll check in each week for fabulous Christmas ideas and inspiration!
It’s never too early to be inspired by Christmas ideas!
Choose a ribbon and start wrapping it tightly round a cookie cutter. Secure with a dab of hot melt glue at the end.

I recommend using soft ribbon without the inserted wire.
The size of the cookie cutter will determine how much ribbon you need. For the Large star I used about 6-/12 feet of ribbon.

It may be July, but these adorable ornaments belong on a tree. Aww, look how cute they are hanging in my apple tree. It’s beginning to feel (a little) like Christmas!
We invite you to hop around and visit the other projects being shared and join in the fun! We’d love for you to link up your own Christmas posts. New or older posts are welcome! See you next Wednesday for more Christmas In July!
Thank you!

Hydroponics — growing plants in nutrient-rich water without soil — sounds technical but modern starter kits make it simpler than container gardening. No soil, no weeds, faster growth, and a year-round herb supply on

Houseplants in dim Australian winters or US northern-aspect rooms genuinely struggle. A good LED grow light keeps fiddle-leaf figs growing, lets you raise seedlings on a windowless laundry shelf, and means you can have h

Most Australian and US snakes do their job — keep rodents in check, mind their own business — but for properties with kids, dogs or chooks, reducing snake activity around the immediate yard makes sense. Repellents ha

Brushtail and ringtail possums are protected wildlife in Australia — you can’t legally kill, trap, or relocate them. So the question isn’t how to get rid of possums, it’s how to live alongside them while saving your ro
