Alrighty...Christmas time is here! The decorations (limited amount that they are) have been put up, Christmas music is being regularly played, and I've made a pretty decent dint in my shopping. What I really need to get on is my holiday baking! Quick side question about shopping, does anyone else love it so much they wish they could spend hundreds of dollars on each person, buying both big and little gifts alike? I love buying presents! Last year I was so sad when I had most all of my shopping done a couple weeks before Christmas. I thought I would try and spread things out a bit this year, but so far I am not doing too well. It's all those online sales, I just can't pass them up and I have to figure in shipping time!
Anyways, I've been getting together ideas to make some Christmas decorations, because I think they really are the best kind! Especially with hot cocoa, twinkly lights, and the proper music accompaniment. However, running out to buy ribbon or glue always disrupts my flow. Thus, I am compiling a list of the various items I would like to make, and the various necessities to execute them. I have also been perusing the Flikr Commons for some vintagey photos I might incorporate. And to set as my screen desktop :) There are so many lovely ones. Feel free to enjoy their cheer for yourself.
I especially love the ones with Christmas trees. Max absolutely hates tinsel, but something in me finds it so enchanting. And black and white photos are my favsies.
cute! I love tinsel, and actually put some on my tree this year. It's so sparkly when the lights hit it...and there is just a vintage charm about it that i really like. can't wait to see your christmas crafts!
