photo post

I got sick right before Christmas too ~ wouldn't you know it! While I sit here on the couch I thought I might as well try to get caught up on photos. Time is quickly running out!

Last week or maybe 2 weeks now, I created a series of Holiday Frames for a Crate Paper blog post. I found a group of frames at thrift stores and used Crates Peppermint to make these.






I took these photos at the beginning of the month. I keep meaning to go back and take better ones ~ I'll have to put it on the to-do list. I decorated our living room with Silver and Gold, white poinsettias and glittery reindeer.





I put this tree into my craft room. I wanted one old-world tree so I could use all those vintage bulbs I had collected. It's especially pretty at night! I've stashed all of the presents under this tree so it doesn't look quite as bare underneath.





We added a little tree to one of Chase's cars and placed it in between collections of pink and red glass bulbs and vintage candle sticks on the kitchen table.



I think it's time for some more tea and maybe another nap tonight. I need to get better in a hurry!

Tara -
Love what you did with those frames ~ very creative. Definitely in love with your vintage ornaments too. Wish my mom would have kept all of hers. Tree on the car is so cute. I had bought your December kit and it's the first time I have done something like this so I'm having a hard time getting started, but I'm sure something will come to me. Get better pronto.
