This year, Christmas Rocks! I've spent the last month preparing the decorations. It is our first year (or holiday) that we've actually put anything up. First things first, I bought stockings. I've wanted to make some forever, but decided against it when I saw these at Pottery Barn (for the cost of material I would have had to bought). Right now, a lot of their stockings are on sale and they all ship free.
Alright, enough free advertising for Pottery Barn. It's Martha Stewart's turn. I started decorating ornaments and it wasn't working out. The tree was so overwhelming. But I wanted a lot of color. At the craft store, I saw a Martha glitter set of 18 great colors and ta-da:
(Side note: if you are a widow because it is finals week, don't get too carried away with the camera...)
And now advertising for me. Not really, but I did make sweet Christmas things this year. The back side of a gift certificate I made for a client:
I used it to make tags for our neighbor/friend gifts. I'm finishing them up but will show them to you later.
