New Year's Eve Chandelier

Get ready. This is my 2nd post in the same day but time is of the essence with New Year's eve right around the corner. Back in October, I found this lovely moon graphic on graphics fairy and turned it into a garland using chipboard, crepe paper ruffles and gold/silver trim.


I decided my special garland needed to come back out of storage and decorate my dining room chandelier for New Year's eve.

I also added a few ornaments to my chandelier for some added flair.

Then, I went back to Graphics Fairy and found this wonderful champagne girl and printed off a few more images from the web to hang with my garland.

It feels very Moulin Rouge.

In a few days, I'll be back with a few of my favorite New Year's appetizers.
Wishing you all a crafty and creative 2011!

    You should seriously quit your day job and go into party planning/decorating. Around here, people who live in the BIG houses on the "Pike" would pay you dearly for doing this for them.

    And I just LOVE the photo of your chandelier with Emma in the background playing a flute? You should print that out and frame it. Wonderful photo!

    OK, back to catch up Kim's decorations/recipes and such that I could never pull off! If you lived closer, heck I'd pay you myself to come and liven up our pad LOL!
