We got our christmas tree yesterday...usually I'm the one to spot it but this year it was all hubby and he picked out a beaut! Even though my back hurt like a mother I had to push through for the kids... {and myself too...i love christmas decorating!} I was able to get most everything up...now the house is all cozy colored in red and green...and smells wonderful!
We have never had a tree skirt...so with left over fabric I decided to put one together...it turned out so cute...just a little too small. I will make a larger one for next christmas. I just couldn't bare spending $90 {or more} on a tree skirt...
I changed out the "summer" pillow covers into my "christmas~y" pottery barn ones...easy and free :)
the advent calendar {from ballard designs} is up and already loaded with chocolate goodies waiting to count us down to christmas...so fun...
This will be santa's cookie & milk table :)
The hutch has been a fun addition to decorate...it never seems to be clean...just keeping it real...
Stalkings have been hung by the chimney with care and already have a goody in 'em...girls noticed after school today and are going crazy trying to figure out what's in there...
Hope you are finding yourself in the christmas spirit too!
xo,
mar

I'm sorry your back is hurt, Bear :o(
ReplyDeleteYour tree skirt is adorable!!
Your tree looks so pretty! I just took my pumpkins down 15 min ago!! I hear ya on the tree skirt cost, but once you buy it, its done! I bought one last year that I LOVE (I did a custom order on etsy). Your tree skirt is darling though so I guess no need to buy one now! (if only I had such skills!)
ReplyDeleteYour house looks so beautiful and festive, both inside and out! Great job to all of you. Mrs. Santa
