Starting Christmas!

I know it's a tad early, but I'm really just too busy to wait until after Thanksgiving, so I started decorating! I haven't gotten a lot done yet, but I'm trying new things and trying to be creative to save money. I'm actually really impressed w/how great some very simple ideas look! And they were free :) So here's the first set of decoration pictures, more will follow over the next couple of weeks. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!


These are some of the Chrsitmas cards I've started making :)

This is one of my favorite FREE decorations, I just took an empty vase and filled it with all my old Christmas cookie cutters! I love it :)

My "Up On The Roof Top" decoration that I got last year, the Santa Key, and the berry wreath.

This is a wreath that I made, it's really pretty in person, the photo doesn't do it justice.

On top of the bookshelves out in the formal living room.

Also on top of the bookshelves.

Mistletoe, of course :)

Bookshelves...

Bookshelves...

Bookshelves...

Bookshelves again, lol...

This is another great idea that I love! These are huge cookie cutters and so I put some ribbon on them and hung them from the kitchen window! :)

Close up...

The swags by the fridge and some of the cards hanging on the wall.

The ONLY time I drink regular Coke is at Christmas, and this can is why :) I just LOVE it and I can't help it!

My card garland, it took FOREVER and was a huge pain, but looks SO great! Thanks Kimmie for the idea :)

more card garland....

Well that's about it for now!
