Just 57 days until Christmas!!!! ' Tis (almost) the season!
Now, I know some of you will try to tell me that I've gotten ahead of myself and that Christmas is still a far way's off but, really, it's not. Besides, I don't celebrate Halloween and I live in Canada so our Thanksgiving has come and gone, and that leaves Christmas as the next holiday and I am oh so ready for it! Actually, scratch that. I'm NOT quite ready for it yet.
I am so excited about having a cute apartment to decorate. This is my first Christmas season living in my own place, and so I'll need to get a tree ... and bulbs for the tree ... and a nativity scene ... and stockings ... and a cute little snowman to put by the door. No need to buy a wreath; I picked one up on sale a few weeks ago.
I definitely have Christmas on my mind, which is probably why I ended up writing a letter to my Christmas tree for prompt #4 of Shimelle's class. It's still very much a rough draft and is nowhere near ready to be posted here for all to read, but I'm working on it. :)
Speaking of Christmas, one of the things on my wish list this year (yes, I've already started it, don't judge me) is this amazing piece of art -
I want it soooooooooo badly. *sigh*
This weekend I am hoping to get some scrapbooking done. I have so many layouts I'd like to work on and (so far) no plans for Saturday, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that a nice, inspiring scrap day is in the stars for me!
Happy Friday everyone!

Sorry, you can't have that piece of artwork because it's coming home with me. I love it. I've also got a flat on my own this year and aren't sure what to do for deccies as there's not a lot of room here for things. Will have to do something though. Looking forward to seeing your letter to your tree. What a great idea xx
ReplyDeleteYes, there are others of us already thinking about Christmas. I've actually been working on some handmade Christmas gifts this week, hoping to finish them all up by the end of next week so I can wrap and then enjoy the holidays!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting to have a place of your own to decorate :) I remember that being one of my favorite things when I first moved out as well. Enjoy! Can't wait to see what you come up with!
ReplyDeleteThe first thing we put into our house when we bought it nearly 4 years ago was a Christmas tree. I was so excited about having a new place to decorate and start new traditions in. I'm *very* excited about Christmas already too :-) x
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful piece of art! What a great treat for yourself this would be!
