Wow, is it really just 4 more days till Christmas?! Between lack of time and lack of mojo and chasing after energetic puppies in the house, Christmas decorations this year are on the minimal side. I did put up one tree in the living room, where it’s protected from the puppies. And I hung a garland on the fireplace with colourful balls and some little starfish. But otherwise, decorations are low-key. And I actually kind of like it that way :-)
The living room is the most-decorated room in the house…
My stuffed Christmas buddies :-)
A little penguin love :-)
Family room mantel… I just hung up the garland and kept adding balls to it, and then some small starfish to give it a coastal touch :-) {If you’d like to check out my bubble “light fixture” tutorial, click here}
More coastal Christmas vibes….
These are ceramic pieces my mom made years ago…
A snowflake wreath I made about 5 years ago…
Some people may call them blurry, I call them artsy :-)
Oh, and those puppies I mentioned at the beginning of this post – sweet little Joey was adopted and went to his new home near Montreal yesterday. I know he’s going to have lots of fun and he’ll be getting LOTS of love in his new home. Miss ya lots little Joey – you’re the BEST snuggler!
We still have spunky John…
And now we have another one of their brothers, Myles. You’d never guess they’re from the same litter – John & Joey are little pork chops, Myles is a big Whopper!
We all had fun playing in the snow today :-)
And with that, I’m signing off for the holidays. I’ll be back in January with more room makeovers and DIY projects and furniture refreshes and puppies!
From my family to yours, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanza, and everything else festive…
See you in 2013!
