It's December 1st and you know what that means??!! Christmas is ALMOST HERE!!! I personally adore this holiday. Not only for the religious aspect, but for all the fun that brings for the family and me (in the crafting\decorating sense).
We're all Christmas-y here!! Mr. Homemaker and I purchased our 7.5 foot monster tree the day after Thanksgiving, along with some new ornaments. We've had hand-me-down ornaments since we got married and had our first Christmas together. We decided it was time for a change, and we went and got blue-white-silver ornamnets for our tree. I've been toying with this color scheme for sometime now, but Mr. Homemaker really gave the kick in the pants I needed to go through with it. I personally LOVE how it turned out!! (The picture does NOT do my tree justice...just sayin'!).
Keeping with my Christmas decorating, I made a new ornament wreath for 6 bucks!! I made one last year, but wanted it bigger. So getting ideas\tips from Pinterest, I made this one!
Another idea I picked up from Pinterest is the "snow" candle holders! All it is, is epsom salt (that I already had) inside of a mason jar (that I already had) with a small candle (that I already had) inside. I put 3 of these along my mantle in my livingroom, along with my ornament vases. All that is, is ornaments (that I had) sat inside of my vases (that I had). My mantle lined with garland and our stockings made my look I was going for complete!
And lastly, I put garland above my windows. And decided they were too bare. So......I added some ribbon with ornaments. It's not my favorite, but I don't think it's too bad.
I want to do more Christmas decorations in my house, so I'll probably head into the kitchen for that next!
