Let the Decorating Begin!


December is here tomorrow and I'm determined to enjoy the holidays even with my crazy busy schedule.  I've managed to chip away at my goal of Christmas decorating, and have begun to tackle a few DIY projects!  This year, I'll be spending Christmas Eve and Christmas day here in Chicago with the bf, so naturally I've been tasked with adding some Christmas cheer to his place too - including the tree! {cannot wait to post}.  Until then, here are some snapshots that have been brightening my days thus far.  Happy Friday!

My first ever attempt at a wreath. Very pleased with the result.

Getting in the Holiday spirit!


We witnessed the first (ever so slight) snowfall the other night in Chicago, and that's all it took to get me into the holiday spirit.  I'm making a point to carve out some spare time this season to revamp my holiday decor and tackle some DIY projects... with so many cute ideas, how does one choose just a few?
