12 ways to add beauty and sparkle to your New Year’s Eve

 

Are you planning anything special for New Year’s Eve?

Right now, I should be removing ornaments from our tree since it’s looking pretty dry. It is the one drawback about fresh trees, you have to be ready to start breaking them down when those falling pine needles tell you so. But before I tackle our tree, I did want to get this quick post on New Years done because it’s right around the corner.

And just in case you’re hosting something big or small, I thought I’d share a few wonderful ideas from out in the bloggersphere. Some of these are DIY projects, so I’ve included the links whenever I could. And some of these photos are simply great visual inspiration.

Twelve ideas to get your creative juices going. And get you in the mood for a party.

So here they are in no special order…
