Well, I'm ready! Decorations are up, presents are wrapped, and baking is complete...bring on Christmas! All I have to do is put a few finishing touches on some handmade gifts. Every bit of my preparation has been enjoyable. Having these little projects has helped me stop, relax, and focus. What a nice change of pace! It has been a long time since I have brought out my crafty side. It is coming full force now which will give me plenty of practice! I started to get in a little over my head with all of the crafts I started along with the normal everyday things I have going on. Everything came together and looks great though. I am happy with the way it all turned out. It will not be until after Christmas until I can show pictures of what I put together for a few people. I do not want to ruin any surprises!
As soon as we got our real tree up, I was feeling very festive. The tree looks a little bare in the picture but it turned out nice. The red dot in the middle is a little birdie we bought last Christmas before we knew that we were gonna have a Macy and not just a "birdie". It is hard to believe that it has already been a year. All we could talk about last Christmas was how fun this Christmas was gonna be! M won't even know what is going on but I am sure she will love the wrapping paper!
I like the look of the mantel with three stockings on it!
Of course we had to add the birdie on here too. I thought it was a necessary touch.
We have the first of our celebrations with family this weekend at Mom's.
Let the festivities begin!
