Giddy for Christmas?

I made my Christmas wreath today...okay, okay I cheated a bit! I bought this pre-made wreath and added some holiday picks to jazz it up a bit. I couldn't help myself, I had all intentions to make a new one from scratch this year since my poor Santa one from the last couple of years needs to retire. We got out our Christmas decorations last weekend & I noticed that Santa had dreadlocks in his beard, which I'm pretty sure isn't the way Santa wears his beard. If there are any little elves out there that can prove me wrong, please give me a shout ;-)

I LOVE making wreaths & I wanted a white one but Michaels didn't have a plain white one so I had to make a sacrifice. And of course, impatient me couldn't wait to see if I could get a white one somewhere else, hehe. The Christmas bug has bitten me hard this year already and I'm itching to decorate now. Hmm, wonder if my HOA will write me up if I decorate tomorrow? Wonder if my husband will write me off if I decorate tomorrow?

Anyway, I put it up to snap a picture & was REALLY close to not taking it down, it was so cute up there on the door :-)

We also decided to have some fun with Amy Butler today, even though she never showed, hehe! We made a paper chain that we'll either put on the tree or use somewhere in the house for Christmas! We had to take it out back & have a little party to test it out though. Wish I had made it outside...there is glitter everywhere now & I just vaccumed. But glitter always seem to make life a little better so I guess it's okay!

And yes, we baked again...I don't know what has come over me!?! But this time, it was for two friends who've just had babies. It was so hard for K to make CHOCOLATE muffins and not eat one...but I bribed her with a swiss roll (which I never buy). I broke the number one rule of grocery shopping and went hungry and craving sweets, what can I say?

Is that a snowflake I see? Why yes, it is! It's snowing inside...hehe! Sorry, I couldn't help myself. Again, don't know what has come over me. I'm so ready for everything about Christmas time to be here.

And yes, those are Ghirardelli chocolate chips you see...mmm...my fav!

Anyone else giddy for Christmas & decorating early? I hope so, because I've got a holiday giveaway coming up, so don't forget to check back for a chance at some goodies!
