Holiday Decor

Not a very exciting post but I am bored :)

I was playing with my lovely camera in an attempt to take a cool *sparkly* picture of the tree.  I like how it turned out... maybe a little blurry but a work in progress.  I probably need to put it on something solid instead of holding it.

I revamped the mantle this year and am really happy how it turned out. It was mostly inspired by pinterest.  I don't love the swag thing on the wall but I can't find anything I do love.  I was considering doing a BIG letter "M" but couldn't commit.  The only things I bought new were the little bit of greenery at the bottom, red spray paint for the wine bottles, and silver/gold stuff in the wine bottles (and it was all 50% off).  I already had the reindeer, ornaments, and the upside-down cake stand cover that they are held in. 


My super-crafty, sewing specialist, mother has offered to make stockings for the family.  They won't be done this year but next year we should have matching stockings.  For now, Kamden is using "mine" from last year and I am using my childhood stocking stitched by my grandmother.


On a sidenote:  My 4.5 month old child might be wearing 12 month pjs tonight.  They are a little big but I didn't want to buy the 9 month size that would only fit for another couple of weeks.  Lord help me!

What setting did you use to capture the sparkle on the tree?

I think I cranked up the ISO and adjusted something else too... I need to write these things down :)
