DIY must for Craft Night

Emily and I might start up Craft Night next Tuesday and I think we should try out these homemade felt balls.  My sister-in-law showed me an awesome Christmas wreath made from the same type of felt balls but we never ended up making one.  Say YES! to hoboken had an awesome tutorial on how to make the balls with wool roving that you purchase at JoAnn Craft Store.

Isn't this wreath awesome? 

My sister-in-law always finds the coolest things!

What are you making for Christmas?

Today I am going to make some peanut butter fudge and finish making my corn bags.

If I remember I'll take some pictures and put them up tonight. :)

2.  I sewed 8 christmas presents yesterday!

Holiday Party Plans...

On Dec. 10th I am going to a holiday party at our friends house.  We have three things that we have to bring.  Our favorite Christmas goody, a $5 gift, and a mug.  The mugs are going to be in a competition and the one that wins gets a giftcard. (Matt's mug is going to win but shhh don't tell. ;)  I am also a little worried about what to wear.  I want to look cute but also look according to the festivities.  My friend Emily and I may find some vintage holiday sweaters to wear at the DAV or Salvation Army, which would be awesome!  I think if I had that Christmas tree mug I would win.  Oh and look at that girls nails! That's fun for a party. 

Another neat mug.

I am bringing Rasberry Shortbreat cookies for the special treat and I also made a Terranium for the gift.  I always make gifts that I wouldn't mind having myself. :)

Presents and Cookies and Santa OH MY!

Hello everyone! I'm sorry for the long break but it was well needed.  I think for the rest of this week I'll try and post a few of the cool blogs I've been reading on my blogging break.  I feel like if someone quits blogging its because they're busy reading other peoples blogs or at least thats what happened to me.

We have been busy getting Christmas presents, decorating, and finishing up the fall semester (only 3 more left)!!!! I'm so excited to finish because as soon as I finish that is one step closer to adding an addition to our family!!

Here are some of our decorations this year!

I found this tree for $5 at a garage sale.

My friend Emily found this at Micheals so I had to get one.

POPCORN...

Matt has his ornaments too.

A very old nativity scene with a few missing pieces.

Paper snowflakes! So easy and cute to make!

Another craft that Emily and I did! Thanks Em!

(ModPodge is the best)

Romancing the Stone has very cool ornaments.

I came home to this wrapped beside the tree.  So excited to see what it looks like!  I asked for an old chair for my craft closet.

PS BEST HUSBAND EVER!!
