a christmas home tour

Hello, everyone!

Can you believe there are only three days until Christmas? My family arrives here on the 24th... and that seems like it's an ETERNITY away!

I thought I'd share what I've done to make our home beautiful this Christmas season.

I've always wanted a wreath, so when I found this style via Pinterest, I had to make it! It's super easy. Simply bend a hanger into a circle, untwist the hook, slide on Christmas balls (I used plastic ones from Superstore), twist it back together, and hide the hook with a wide ribbon. Easy peasy.

Since we don't have a cat anymore, I jumped at the opportunity to get a poinsettia. Our cat would have mangled that poor beauty. And that lovely felt Christmas tree advent calendar to your right? That has been mine since I was about four years old. Judah had the joy of putting up the little ornaments this year.

I made about 40 snowflakes from simple, white paper and strung them around our living room. Not only does it look good, it was loads of fun making them. I felt like a kid again (although my snowflakes were never so intricate back then).

I made this print to highlight some of my favourite phrases from the Christmas songs we sing. I love how it isn't overtly Christmas-y, but still gets a theme across.

I have to be honest: these pussy willows sit out all the time. HOWEVER, I still think they add to my Christmas decor in their stick-like appearance.

And last (but not least!) we have our Christmas tree. This year we decided to refrain from hanging coloured balls on it. I love how sparkly it is.

There you  have it!
