Holidays have arrived!

Holiday season is my favorite time of the year. I've always just loved the season :)

The past 5 years I have spent this time of the year in Arizona. Where it is still in the 70's all winter long. It never felt like Christmas to me there. I feel like people don't get as into it there too; there were never as many houses with Christmas lights. I remember as a kid going to all the different neighborhoods with ALL of the houses on the block decorated. I loved looking at the Christmas lights.

And now back in Seattle, on November 11th I am sitting in my house wrapped in a blanket because I'm freezing. Those years in Arizona really made it harder to deal with this cold! Hopefully I'll adjust soon because it's only getting colder.

So anyways since I love this time of year I really want to do lots of crafty things to get ready for Christmas :) I promised the boyfriend that I would wait until after Thanksgiving to start making Christmas ornaments so I had to come up with something else I could do before.

Last weekend I decided to make Christmas cards. They turned out really well, so cute!

As Promised...

Pictures of the bathroom!







The new wall color










Shower Rings






Toilet Paper Holder


Our AWESOME faucet! I love this thing and it was the inspiration for the bathroom.
We technically aren't done yet. We are going to paint one of the walls with a wall mural of bamboo. It probably won't get done for a while :) It'll take some time so I need to practice on a few smaller canvas first.
Next big project...craft room!
