Dollar Tree Advent Wreath!

Dollar Tree Advent Wreath!

Easy peasy - that's how I like my crafts, lol! I've been wanting to buy an Advent wreath for so long. Now that we are social isolating, we definitely needed one ASAP. You can find some nice Advent wreaths for under $20, but I wanted this to be a special craft made with my daughter. Ours is pretty festive, but forego the embellishments for something simple and classic!

See our YouTube video here (only 3 minutes long):

As of 2020, my Dollar Tree did not sell purple or pink taper candles, so I bought mine on Amazon for around $8 (link active as of 2020): https://amzn.to/35Y42SC

But, you can totally use the Dollar Tree's white taper candles too! Just tie a purple of pink ribbon around the candle holder to signify which week of Advent you are in.

Oh, and if you'd like some sort of prayer or devotion next to your wreath, here is the one I chose:

Aldi Haul Nov 22, 2020

 I know it's been forever! I think the last time I published a video to my channel (that wasn't singing) was almost a year ago! Crazy.

The Aldi near me just opened up again (they were closed for major renovations), and wow it was worth the wait! It's beautiful, bright, and BIG! Also, they have curbside pickup - I'm going to have to look into this further to see how it works (the cost, etc.).

In the meantime, here's today's haul with this week's dinner plans. Nothing super exciting, but I'm happy to record a video today (7 MINUTES YIKES! I'm rusty!!! lol).

Miss you all!

love + light,

Clara
