It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

For some reason i've really been in the Christmas spirit this year. I've already pulled out my decorations which normally i wouldn't until the middle of December if i did at all. Pretty Grinchy right? Well this year it's time for a change! Especially because our little girl is getting older and can enjoy it with us. So not only have i pulled out all the decorations we had but i've made quite a few new ones! I'm in the crafting mood! Here are a few crafts & decorations i've already done:

Over one of our windows. It's so pretty when all the lights are off. Especially when you see it from the outside. I love this idea quite a bit! It's so simple and easy too!

This idea came from Pinterest. I wanted to change the color of our tree this year so i took our old Ornaments and used them in a few different decorations. I just took your basic ribbon you put on presents & hung them. Then took our blue lights and wrapped them around the curtain rod.

Our Fireplace mantle. We painted our pumpkins this year so we got to keep them around for quite while longer. Mine is the one on the left & Luna's is the one on the right. Bry decided this year he is going to shoot his pumpkins. Yeah, don't ask.

Just a little epsom salt, raffia, cinnamon sticks, pebbles, and candles. 

Our coffee table.

Took a lantern i had and filled it with Ornaments.

The top of our entertainment center. The Candy Cane on the right is a craft i made last year. It's tissue paper modge podged onto a mason jar. Super easy & adorable! Made 3 of them with my sister in law last year.

Here is another one of the mason jars. I have one more as well but it's a little hard to photograph. These really are such an easy & cute way to decorate! 

I've been kind of playing around with this idea. I can't decide whether to put the red/green ones upside down too or keep them like this. And maybe even get rid of the snowflakes? I'm not sure yet. I think i need a table cloth too. That would look much better.

These are my husbands Pistons & Rods. I keep asking him to move them off my dining room table but he hasn't. So i decided i'll use them to decorate too ha ha ha! 

So those are just a few of the things i've done so far. I have so much more i want to do! Here are a few of my next projects:

 

These would be adorable Grandparents gifts! The wreath can be found here along with some other amazing ideas for wreaths! 

 

I'd love to do to this No Sew Ruffle Tree Skirt but maybe in the burlap and red colors. The tutorial to this is so simple! Definitely a tedius but worth while task!

This little guy can be found here. A couple styrafoam balls wrapped in yarn, burlap, buttons and wire. 

I thought this one was pretty cute too! You could put the year you had your kids too with their hand prints. The tutorial is here.

How simple but beautiful is this? I love it! Tulle tied on a string of lights. Find the "tutorial" here.

So hopefully i can get my butt in gear and get all these done! At least the Tree Skirt so we have our own this year. Maybe the energy fairy will pay me a little visit ha ha.
