8 days till Christmas

So its 8 days until Santa arrives and I'm pretty excited! This weekend we are going to the village Saturday to see Santa come in the fire truck and spend christmas at grandma barbs. Then sunday we are having christmas with grandma jo! I'm excited to get to see everyone, eat some good food and play a few games.
At grandma barbs there will be plenty of games to play maybe a few people caroling depending on how much wine is brought...

Tyler and I (well okay more Tyler) is putting together a Christmas video that we are going to show this weekend to it's full of some laughs and a few surprises! We also have our ugly sweaters ready to be shown to the world! Tyler wants to wear his all day but I'm not sure between the coon hat and sheep coat if you'll see us together! :)

I'll be sure to take LOTS of photos this weekend so I can post who had the ugliest sweater!!

To Grandma's House We Go!

This past weekend my sister and I got to help decorate Grandma Jo's house. I LOVE christmas and decorating is my favorite part! I seem to be the craftiest only in the month of December....

My little helper here

Who painted and glittered up letters to put on the mantle

Then we made some Santa Hats for the mantle. They are SUPER cute and very easy to make. (this is the blog I got the idea from http://thriftydecorchick.blogspot.com/2010/11/santa-hat-craft.html)

We made 3 different sizes so we all got to make one. It was like being a kid again doing crafts with grandma! :)

Here is the finished project!!

Here is Lind's JOY!

And the rest of the mantle! I am in love with this window (well any pretty window )

So we threw the window back up on to the mantle and added snow flakes.

Grandma's house is officially ready for Christmas!

I'll post a few other projects later!

If anyone has any extra random wood that they don't want let us know I've got LOTS of ideas!

Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Yes I know thanksgiving isn't here yet but I had a free saturday afternoon! Thanks to my mom and sister for spending a half a hour rearranging furniture I was able to get our Christmas decorations up.

This picture doesn't show the glitter so much but its very cute! I'd add lights to it but don't want to make it to heavy. Maybe next year...
Here is our center piece for the kitchen table
I just love my believe sign in from of the tv with the lights.
And here is the sofa table.

I'm sure I'll add a few more Christmas items to the house before Christmas.

I do still have 32 days of shopping to do! :)

Window....

I LOVE old window panes so when i saw this one hanging up in Joanie's Junk in Morganville I had to have it!

However being in a rental hanging white on white walls just wasn't going to work out so we went with red...

Added some distressing...

The finished product in our living room!!

We used hurricane hooks to hang to hang it up, they are so easy to use!

It only took us a Sunday afternoon!
