so a few of you asked for some christmas decor photos. i don’t have much, really. i tried to take some pics both yesterday and today … and i wasn’t very good at it. lol! but here’s a few for you.

our tree. i did good on the garland this year. every year for the last 3 years i have put on this wooden button garland … and every year i would have to go buy just one more strand because i would run short. but this year i got it on my first try. simple ball ornaments. and a few clear ones that i stuck some buttons and beads in. and a few i put coffee beans in … love the smell!

the fireplace … i know, self-explanitory! i still need to hang up the mirror … way too small for that spot … but it was only $10 so i couldn’t resist. the red christmas trees are super glittery … got them at walmart. my super cheap glass vases (like $3) filled with some more ball ornaments. notice there are no stockings hung up? that’s because they little ones would yank them right down … so we never put them up until christmas eve.

i do love this picture. this is by the front door. i was going to split these ornaments into 2 vases … but they only had 1 left. and the advent calendar in the background is from making memories … found it at target. everything was there … just had to put it together. although there is nothing in the boxes. lol!

this is by the front door. love the black shelf that my mom made me … the bottom 2 shelves hold baskets that the girls keep their shoes in. the top shelves are empty … usually there’s junk shoved in there (cleared it out for the pic). the frames i had spray painted black and added some cork inside. i never hang anything up there though. lol! i did find the chipboard "love" and stuck it there … trying to figure out what color to paint it still. ignore the fact that i have 2 "love" things up there. lol! the glitter "peace" i found at kohl’s for like 70% off.

and this is a terrible picture … but still funny. i was trying to get a picture of the super huge frames i put in the playroom … and the girls thought it would be cute to get in on the fun. these frames are 18×24 … love how big they are. i think one i get around to putting up some valences on the windows it will look even better. this is the playroom … which is where you would normally find a living room/dining room. the wall to the right of this is where i have all the daycare kids pictures. i have 16 frames up … all 8×10 … all of kids that are here with us or have been in the past.

that’s about it. sums it up pretty good. lol! going to cut this short … because i have about 17 zillion things to get done right now. have a good one!
