“It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…”
Well, not really, because I have’t started decorating yet, but I’m good and ready for it to look that way now!
Yup, I’m a Christmas girl.
Last year, our decorating was fairly minimal, both because we didn’t have many decorations, and because we didn’t have much space in our little one-bedroom apartment.
Here’s a look back at what we did though, just for fun.
If you guys like those paper trees, check out how I made them here and here.
Our tree doesn’t follow a theme, but we loved it anyway.
This year, though, all you Scrooges and Grinches better look out, because I have a whole house to dazzle up in Christmas cheer. That’s right, a WHOLE HOUSE.
Now, that doesn’t mean I’ll be decorating every single room, because let’s face it, that might be a little overkill, especially considering our basement is almost totally empty and that we still have only a few decent decorations.
Of course, I am DIYing some new Christmas stuff this year, and I can’t wait to share it with you guys!
For the sake of making lists and keeping track of everything that’s still “to-do” for this year, here’s the list of DIY Christmas stuff I’m currently planning to work on.
