Deck the Halls!

Heyyy! Your girl is back in action! I finally received my new laptop and I've been smiling ever since! What's even better is that the holiday season is in full swing. I trust you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving full of food, family and friends. It's safe to say I ate my weight in food for breakfast, lunch and dinner and now I'm steady trying to run it off!

But now, it's time for Christmas, and that means it's time to decorate!!!! Decorating for the holidays can get costly, so here are a few affordable ways to bring some holiday cheer into the home without breaking the bank!

First up, is this neutral snowball wreath by the ladies over at Two Junk Chix.  I especially love this because it's different from the usual garland wreaths you see everyday, and it seems fairly easy to make. Click on the link above for more information and how to make your own.

Want to hang ornaments but don't have a tree? Try hanging them from the ceiling (with ribbon or invisible string) at various levels. Home Goods has a great array of ornaments - or you can just make your own...Design Sponge has a great tutorial.

I usually like to have some kind of decorations on my table. My table isn't that big, so I need something that's small but still screams "It's Christmas!!!"  Good Housekeeping's idea of spray painting pinecones is the perfect idea. These... will be on my table.
