Giving the Dining Room Table some Bling!!

Good Morning Friends! How is your morning going? My to-do list is a mile long and I am having a hard time being motivated to get any of it done.....My weekend was jammed pack and I think some down time may be in order..Do you ever feel that way?
Before I take the rest of the day off to catch up and then relax......I thought I would share my Dining Room table and it's Christmas Bling......

Yesterday I posted about my lack of "crafty skills"and while that is still a true statement...I am becoming more comfortable with my glue gun!!!....Case in point, I saw this on the blogosphere and decided it was darling and would be the inspiration for adding some Christmas color to my Dining Room.

After all, I had sticks from my yard and how hard could it be to glue colorful little felt balls all over some free yard sticks??? Not hard at all! YEAH, that is a craft I can get my mind around......However, finding little felt balls in colors I liked was a bit harder so I used some picks from the $1 bins at Target.....
Here are a few more pictures of my Dining Room Table Bling....


Here are the picks I used from Target, cut each glitter ball off the stem, glue them on the sticks and VIOLA.....Easy, right!

Hope you have a wonderful day! Thanks for coming by and if you need some down time like me, take it and enjoy!
I hope to see you tomorrow.....My Christmas Tree's are up and I'll be showing them to you then.....Until then, here is a sneak peek.....

I'll be sharing this at

 and Join me at Linda's Nifty Thrifty Tuesday @ Coastal Charm
