Christmas Spirit

Well it's that time of year again...CHRISTMAS! My favourite time of year.

So I'm starting to very slowly decorate the the townhouse. Nothing too extravagant yet but I have a few touches up. The first is always my old advent calendar


I have no idea when my parents gave it to me but it's always gone up December 1st no matter what. Well no matter what so long as I can find it. Every year I try to put it in a place I'll remember 11 months later and every year I'm wandering around trying to find that spot.

I've also gotten a couple of crafts done. First was this banner my mom gave me. It wasn't suppose to be a banner but each word instead was suppose to hang down separately. Well lets just say it's the last time I'm going to ever deviate from the instructions on something like this.


Also in between each of the letters is a bead and let me tell you...the ribbon they provided sure didn't want thread that bead. A little brute force and ignorance and I made it work.

And finally the last thing I'm quite proud of...my wreath. My mom has a million and one wreaths and I knew I could have borrowed one of hers but I felt like I wanted something I had done and I love how it turned out and how simple it was to put together.


Next it's tree time! We go on Sunday and I'm so happy that I get to join the group. I was suppose to be curling but I managed to find a spare. Can't wait to see what the day brings and what our tree is going to look like. Yay Christmas time!!!
