I'm usually dragging my feet at Thanksgiving to get out the boxes. Once I start, though, I get into decorating so much that I want to do a bunch of crafty projects in the two week time frame that I have left before Christmas.
Does this happen to anyone else?
This year I made one pom pom.
The one on the mantel.
I also rewrapped the little brown paper bag covered gifts in Santa's Tonka.
That's it, folks, and if I hope to get out the Christmas cards before Christmas, my dreams of having a finished pom pom wreath might have to wait till January.
My Christmas decor is made up from years of thrifting and antiquing.
Sorry, I wanted to make some of these pictures larger to show details and they kind of spill out of the space.
Here is my Vintage-y Christmas Tour 2013!
