What? This is it? One box full of Christmas cards I got on clearance last year during the post-Christmas sale season, one box full of Christmas ornaments, and the two smallest boxes filled with candles and lights. I have two wooden-crafted wall-hangings, and a bag of cinnamon pine cones. And one (granted, large) nativity set. Really? I was a little depressed.
See, I always spend a lot of time crafting Christmas decorations or cross-stitched projects, but they're always gifts for my family or friends. And by the time post-Christmas clearance items come around I'm pretty much out of money due to my love of giving Christmas gifts (My grandma's the same way, so I do get it honest).
Maybe this year I will save some money specifically to find Christmas decor for my little house so that next year when I get my boxes out I will be singing "Joy to the World" while bustling around the house deciding where to put it all. But I did make two items that will stay in our house for as long as they last (or as long as the cat decides they aren't worth ripping apart). So here they are, in all their glory. Ribbon Christmas Trees. Part of the very limited Christmas show at the little white house with black shutters. They're very easy to make and can be found on Michaels' website under projects - Christmas.
Happy December!
