Fun with Fungi or I'm sorry about writing stupid titles

Do you want to know what I've been working on while rewatching Cameron Crowe movies? You do? Good because I was going to tell you anyway! I have been working on a few new Christmas ornaments. Like what you see? There will be plenty more coming up in the next few months.

Merry, Merry, Merry!

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas! These are just a few shots of the Christmassy things that are decking our halls. My mom and dad's tree.

A little button wreath I'll do a tutorial for next year.

These wood ornaments were made by my mom's aunt and hung on my parent's tree the first year they were married. (love!)

This years wrapping paper from Ikea.

Paper snowflakes on my dining room windows made with the help of some little Wills!

May your next few days be filled with just the right amount of hustle and not to much bustle.

xoxo until next week!

This is my something Christmassy

My self imposed rule says that I need to stop by here today and leave a little Christmas related note. I don't have much to say this week. Gifts are starting to trickle in, but one for my brother James will not be shipped until after the 1st of the year so I guess I am going to get something else and save that for his birthday in February. My other big issue is that my wrapping paper in all in my trunk that three days after our big snow storm is still frozen shut.

The image is what I made for an ornament swap. I'm rather happy with how they turned out!

I plan on heading out to D.I.Ypsi today to finish off my Christmas Shopping! Today from 11-7!

Get into The Christmas Spirit

In my family we call it "The Christmas Spirit" and it is treated like some mystical element a lighting on us or our homes sometime after Halloween and before Christmas Day, it is when you switch from feeling like Christmas is a chore to seeing it as something to be enjoyed. Sometime it hits you right away and other years you might not see it until the 11th hour. It is that thing that inspires the random singing of carols as you take out the trash or shampoo your hair, its that jolly feeling that makes you want to just hop into a store and look for a gift for your mom, or that glee that fills your heart when you hang ornaments on the tree. I'm a big fan of The Christmas Spirit and really want to share it with you, so just think of this as my little Friday afternoon germ spreading hoping you all get the Christmassy bug.

Trimmings for your Tree

Not much of a post today. After being a bit of a Christmas dud when it came to pre-shopping for gifts this year I have set my mind to have all my gifts purchased and wrapped by the end of the week. So here are a few Christmasy pretties for you to ogle!
