I’m not listening to Christmas music, yet.
That will come the day after Thanksgiving.
However, I am beginning to deck our halls.
I know. It’s not even Thanksgiving yet.
We’re going to visit family the week of Thanksgiving this year.
That is the week that I normally drag the bins down from the attic and get our Christmas on.
We usually go to cut our Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving and decorate it over the weekend.
It will be a little different this year.
We’ll be cutting a tree a week later, and recovering from a week of travel and family activity.
So, I want to have the house decorated so we can fully enjoy the Christmas spirit for as long as possible.
Anyway, I started working on a few of the decorations today.
I got this idea from Pinterest.

And, I made lots and lots of paper garland to put on our tree.
I’ve got presents to make, family ornaments to make, and some other fun projects.
See why I could use a craft room?!
Remember that today is the last day to enter {my first} november blog giveaway!
And, stay tuned…you might find some of the above mentioned projects in the December giveaway.

How creative! What type of paper did you use?
Thank you, as I said in my post, I borrowed the idea from Pinterest.
I used some 8-1/2 x 11 “holiday card stock” from Michael’s as well as some 12 x 12 scrapbook paper (a heavier card stock) that I also found at Michael’s.
I added some purple, orange, and pink to the usual red, green, and white to go with the theme I have in mind for our decor this year…merry & bright!
colorful and modern all at the same time… lovely natural arrangement (my favorite part actually!)
Beautiful. Love your choice of paper. I’m hosting a giveaway at DIY Home Sweet Home.
I would love for you to stop by and check it out.
