new wall decor.

I've been productive today.

I FINALLY hung these paintings over my closet doors today,

After having them sit in the floor of my room for 3+ months.

I don't even remember what month I painted them, that's how long it's been. 

 I used the pillows in my room as a background so you can see the color scheme I worked with :)

If you're new to the blog you can see pictures of my bedding and awesome papasan cushion in THIS post.

 (the post is actually from Summer, in our old apartment.. but my bedding is still the same. I obviously need to take some updated pictures of my room!)

a picture of the side detail :)

FINALLY hanging!

So now that that's out of the way...

I'm about ready for a nap! 

But really I'm on to more exciting things like...

Calculus homework!! Oh, and studying for Organic, Joy!

Hope ya'll are having a great Thursday!

 I'm so happy it's almost the weekend!

Quick Christmas Tour

Here's a quick look at some of our Christmas decorations :)

The Stockings were hung by the Chimney with Care...

Our main Tree:

My stocking:

[my grandpa made it for me when I was a baby :)]

Our Kitchen Christmas Tree has all of our homemade ornaments on it:

Today I went to lunch with a friend from highschool to catch up.. and she blogs! Check her out HERE! And then Ally and I began a craft project.. this scrapbook wreath from Whipperberry blog. It looks like a super wonderful idea.. until you begin the stupid thing. I've invested 10 bucks and 5 hours into this wreath and I'm over it. It BETTER turn out. (I'm not even to the wreath part yet.. still mod podging and twisting the scrapbook paper strips) So.. there will be a blogpost on THAT later.

Hope y'all have all had a terrific Tuesday!

Christmas Ornaments

Ally and I always are up for a new craft.. so the other day when we were in Hobby Lobby and ran across these ornaments we just HAD to make a purchase. So here's some shots of what I've been crafting away at all day:

The finished products on the tree:

These two I'm still working on:

Check out Ally's ornaments! Her whale ornament is too cute for words! My attempt was an epic fail, therefore NO picture of that one will be posted! haha
