We're still running pretty low on decorating supplies, and even lower on holiday decorations. Therefore, I had to get thrifty and make some decorations. That's right, I cook and craft. Who knew?
Actually, Mom did most of the crafting on this beauty, but I supervised. So after a quick trip to the supply store and some cheerleading on my end, this is now gracing our door:
Sure, it's sandwiched between the storm door and the front door, but it works.
I also picked up a few of these gorgeous poinsettias for only 99 cents; thank you Black Friday!
One of these is going to the friendly neighbors. I'm a genius.
And finally, I broke down and put up the Christmas tree today, which I also picked up at Home Depot for a steal on Black Friday:
It is HUGE. Way larger than I expected, and cramped into a corner of our living room. I can't see the TV when I sit on the couch, but oh well!
The ornaments all have a history since my parents give me an ornament every year that relates to an event that happened to me during that year. This year's ornament followed suit:
Mike's family follows the same tradition of ornament giving; just another weird coincidence!
And finally, since we don't have a tree topper, Mike fashioned two ornaments into one:
A little bride and groom. How cute.
Now if only I had such ambition to start buying Christmas presents!
Posts like these make me want to send you a big box in the mail. You know how I love to decorate!
