I've been busy making Christmas gifts for friends... Gifts that have to be mailed across the country... Gifts that I can't post until they receive them...and it's killing me!!
I feel like it has been a lifetime since my last post and I was itching to put something out there. Here are some pics from Christmases past...

What:
My Charlie Brown Christmas Tree and handmade snow ball ornaments.
How:
- I raided the backyard for branches (and glued white glitter to the tops to simulate snow)
- The snow ball ornaments were created from white string, a balloon and fabric stiffener (glue, mod podge, etc.)
- Blow the balloon up to your desired snow ball size, wet the string with the glue and wrap it around the balloon in several directions. Let the snow balls dry over night.

Last year's Christmas card - featuring our beautiful children ;)
The first Christmas away from my Ohio family :(
Below: Grandma split her Christmas village between Jaime and I. I proudly displayed them in lieu of a Christmas Tree (I'm scared the puppies would be too curious of the tree).
We received so many greeting cards in the mail - I just taped them to the brick fire place.
How do you display your Christmas cards??!
