So he said, "Let's run and We'll have some fun Now before I melt away."

Have I ever told you the Christmas is my favorite holiday? Not so much the gift buying/getting aspect but the lights and the decorating!! Now typically I keep my decorating inside my four walls. I don't even hang out Christmas lights outside....which seems impossible to do anyway since I live in a townhouse. Usually, I stuff my front bay window with lots of Christmas decorations and raise my blinds and pull the curtains closed so my neighbors can enjoy without peeping into my house. BUT, recently I ditched the curtains and made roman shades for my bay window (tutorial here). As beautiful as they are, they totally screw up my method of spreading the cheer! So I came across this INCREDIBLY cute idea of hanging Christmas Ornaments.


Now it still doesn't resolve me being able to open my blinds and decorate my window but it DOES make me feel a little better since my window is oh so pretty. :)

I also love Christmas bc there is an overflow of crafts that come with the holiday; decorations, cards, clothes, homemade gifts just to name a few! I've started making some homemade things to give as gifts this year, but obviously I can't post them until after I give them. So keep an eye out for that after Christmas post!



I did get around to making a Stocking Hanger though! Every year we usually just thumb tack them to the wall; which is not attractive and makes it impossible to even put anything remotely heavy in them without them ripping out of the wall and falling to the floor. Not fun.

I know Thanksgiving is over but I made this Pumpkin Torte for dessert and it turned out AMAZING! So I wanted to share the recipe. Not only was it yummy yummy, it was SO easy to make. I also made Pumpkin Pie & Pumpkin Pie Pudding Parfaits for Thanksgiving! You can never have too much pumpkin!
