Christmas Decorations!

Well one of my favorite blogs to read is "the nester" and she is having a show off your garland day today. So here is a picture of our fireplace all decked out for Christmas.

For the garland I used 3 different garlands....all but one I already had. One was the red berry garland, 1 really cheap one from the dollar store and then I had a garland that had pinecones and lights already in it. I laid them out on the floor and every few branches twisted them together to form one big garland (thanks Nester for the how to guide!) Then I stuck in some eucalyptus and I really am proud of the final result and it looks great at night with the lights in it too.

I have always wanted a square wreath and well we live in the middle of nowhere so I decided I would have to take matters into my own hands. I had an old wreath that wasn't being used and decided to try and bend that regular old wreath into a square and make do. Well what do you know-it WORKED and I now have a square wreath and I am pretty happy with it. I suspended a letter "M" (our monogram) from it with ribbon and thats it. The stockings came from Cracker Barrell this year---aren't they cute?!?!

Well I hope you are having fun decorating this year too! Things have been crazy around here so I have decided to stick to only 1 1/2 trees this year! I have a small one in our foyer but I like to have one upstairs in our living room too. Oh well, next year maybe! Christmas is coming so fast!
