I decided this year that our office needed to have more Christmas spirit! In years past we have not decorated at all. I am the only female at my company, so this makes things a problem. I am not saying that men don't know how to decorate. I am just saying that it is not a priority for them. I wanted this to change this year.
We decorated the office in fun red and white garland. Small Christmas tree in the window. Larger tree in the break room. Now because I was on a small budget, I made most of the ornaments and decorations on the computer. Here are how things turned out.
To add to the decorations, we decided that a fire place was needed. So, we built one out of cardboard and printed off brick wallpaper. To top it all off we added some snow and a chimney! It turned out amazing!!
Merry Christmas Everyone!!
Every year my husband and I try and think of something special to give to our parents for Christmas. This is a hard task because we both lost one of our parents. I lost my mother and my husband lost his father.
I try and make each year special and celebrate our loved ones who are no longer with us. Last year I made this wooden sign that could be hung in the kitchen or dining room for the holidays.
This year I will be doing a memorial candle (kids will be making the candle). Pictures coming soon!!!

This year I am doing the 12 days of Christmas for our nieces that live in another state. I thought this would be something fun that they could open every day. Plus, it could help mom and dad with behavior. If you aren't good, you can't open today's present (they are always good though)!! I hope they have as much fun opening them as I did making it!
