Christmas Rustic Chic

Everything about this picture appeals to me. I love the unconventional color of the wreath, the wreath made of bulbs, and the distressed shutter or door that it is hanging on. Maybe I'll be doing a wreath like that one next year.

My Favorite Things For Christmas

Lucky for me some of my favorite things for Christmas are free. I love the atmosphere, and putting up the decorations that I already own, and seeing decorations around town. I have noticed that this is another year of skimpy decorations in town. You can thank the economy for that. I've limited my decorating somewhat to be cost effective but I still do it. For the first time ever we don't have the green spiral Christmas trees on the light posts all through the city. This is probably due to budget cuts but it doesn't seem the same without them. This is a lesson we all have to learn in these times. We have to make do with less even at Christmas.

I Hope This Gets To You

I Hope This Gets To You! This is a video from a man that is made for his girlfriend because he missed her. It is creative and lovely. They are in a long distance relationship because she went away to graduate school.
