Christmas 2011


Christmas is simple this year around our place. No garland, simplified decor. I'm going for easy, homemade and CHEAP! Here's a little glimpse into Meliza Christmas this year!


I'm into yarn lately. Not a great picture, but I am enjoying the jingle bells, cranberries and yarn balls this year. Goes with the cheap, simple, homemade theme this year.

My Black Friday buy! This is all I went out to buy black Friday and I saved $5 too :) Didn't want to go with the bow, so I tried my hands at some posies. I was inspired from thepleatedpoppy.com. One of my favorite blogs to follow.

My posies up close. I love them.

We found it! Took a bit of looking. The place we went I don't think shaped the trees at all, which is fun to have a natural looking tree, but I wish I would have taken a pic when we got it home. It was wild and outta control when we got it in the house. I did some major pruning and shaping and this is what we ended up with.

Pretty!

When we went through the stuff in the garage, we found Steve's old ornaments. These sweet little skates were recovered and I am just in love with them.

Well that is it for now. Stay tuned as I may add more as we actually get closer to Christmas. But first, did you catch Linus' monologue on what Christmas is all about? No? Allow me to link you. I am simply in love with this kid and his delivery of the Christmas message.
