Merry Monday #121 {Pine Cones, Greens & Plaid Ribbon!}

Welcome to another challenge at Merry Monday! This is the challenge all about Christmas cards and getting a head start on the Christmas season.


Happy Monday, everyone! Wendy here and I'm thrilled to be this week's MM hostess! I have many fond memories of Christmas with my family when I was a little girl. We decorated the house with lots of fresh cut greens, pine cones and beautiful plaid ribbon! I even remember having a dress that was plaid! :)  So when I saw this inspiration photo, the plaid ribbon grabbed my attention and I knew I had to use it! Hope you will join us this week. I'm excited to see what you create! :)
