It's Christmas Time!

Lately I have been in the Christmas mood. I just want to drink hot chocolate in front of the fire, watch Christmas movies, and decorate. My last post promised a picture of the old window we are going to use as a decoration for our wedding. I got the Christmas burlap ribbon last night, so I started decorating right away. Here is the window we bought:

Nothing too special about it now, but we will be adding ribbon and lots of pictures to it later. Here it is after I added some holiday cheer to it:

I love how simple it is. I almost added more ribbon down the sides, but decided less is more with this piece. The burlap ribbon is from Ballard Designs. It comes in other colors and you can order it here. The ribbon has wire in it, so it bends nicely and holds its shape. The boxwood wreath is from Target. I have been eyeing it for a while, and once I saw it was reduced for Black Friday, I didn't think twice before putting it in my shopping cart. Target tends to have that effect on me. :)

Dan and I just bought our first Christmas tree. :) Have I mentioned how much I love Christmas? Or Christmas trees? Or Christmas lights? At Christmas, it will be one year since Dan proposed in front Christmas lights. :) We found a great 7 1/2' prelit tree at Home Depot. We had looked there a few weeks ago, but were really glad we waited because the prices were drastically reduced when we went back. Right now, I am enjoying it looking natural, but I will be decorating it soon! If you are in need of a tree, I recommend looking at Home Depot, but do it soon. They were almost sold out by Cyber Monday.

Happy Holidays!

Santa Came!

Santa came (aka my parents)!! And brought me a bigger tree (now I need ornaments...)! And they brought presents to go under it!!

It's Christmas!

It's Christmas! Well, almost. It's my favorite time of the year and the most romantic! Here is a picture of my tiny tree. :)

Christmas Lights

Ok, I could easily post about Christmas the whole month of December. I will try not to turn my decorating blog into a Christmas blog. (Key word was try). I was sooo excited to decorate my new house with Christmas lights! I was not about the climb on the roof, so I settled for decorating the door. Here's a little pic. Keep in mind all my pictures are taken on a very outdated phone, so the quality is crap.
