paper ornaments

Using these instructions, and these 8 point stars...

T and I made some of these...

and then hung them on our tree.

They're really fun and fairly easy!

happy weekend!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I think we'll be visiting the newlyweds this weekend and watching a little football. Then we have a little holiday gathering to attend at my Mom's on Sunday.

Here's a printable holiday card from Mufn Inc. to help get a jump start on cards this year.

Happy weekend!!

oh christmas tree

Remember these heart pins that I blogged about a long time ago? That I absolutely loved. and then some sweet lady in Iowa who loves me, sent me some. Well the purl bee has blogged instructions on how to make Christmas tree pins! So so so cute!

our advent calendar

I meant to post this yesterday, but today marks the official countdown to Christmas. and we will be kicking it off with this advent calendar that T's mom made us. Each day we'll add to the tree ending with an angel at the top. I think I might be more excited than Baby G, but hopefully it will become something he loves to do too.

wire letters

After my friends wedding, I'm loving these wire letters. She used 3 T's throughout her reception decor. They're so simple and that's what I love. They aren't too frilly either and can easily add a little fun to the home decor. or Baby G's nursery!
