Christmas Decorating!

This year, just moved into the new house, it was hard to turn around and start decorating for Christmas when we hardly had our regular things out yet. So wanting to still decorate but not having the funds to do so i ran over to the local habitat resale store. ahem my FAVORITE store! Under ten dollars i got Christmas lights for both inside and outside, mini Christmas tree, and greenery. The ornaments i got the year before after Christmas.. a whole container of them for $1 booyah. All in all i'm thankful for our sweet little Christmas decorations and comes to show a little goes a long way!

While home for thanksgiving Jen and i decided to get crafty with some christmas wreaths! Lots of hot glue, ornaments and vision it turned out great!

DIY Rings!




A little bit of wire and your favorite bead can turn into a super fun ring!

So when i was babysitting...

i took a picture of a picture on their wall! I loved the colors in it and at first look i was like whoa too much, but throughout my time there i grew to love it so much i recreated it. Its hard for me sometimes to really love what i make, i see all the things wrong with it and how i would change it but thankfully my roomie katherine does not care if i like it or not and made a space for it in the dinning room!
