charged!!

My camera is charged finally after about 2 weeks :) My sweet dad let me borrow his charger so I am warning you now, this post will be image heavy :D
First off, I want to give a huuuuuge thank you to this lovely friend of mine, Jenny

Not only is she an amazing, inspiring, and beautiful friend, she is also the world's greatest Secret Santa!
I am in heaven :)

I mean, best presents ever?? I think so :)
The funny thing is that I got Jenny for secret santa so I hope she loves my gifts as much as I love hers. I didn't take a picture, and she's in Maui so Im not sure if she has gotton yet so I will share after I have confirmation from her:)
THANK YOU!!!!
And another quick thank you to the lovely Danielle :) I recieved my wonderful giveaway win from her earlier this week and it made my day:

Ok, on to decor:
Tree number one (traditional with all of our sentimental ornaments from childhood, travels, and other stuff. I did hand knit the garland and did a paper chain garland on this tree too!

Tree number two (vintage) this is an awesome vintage treasure that my mom gave to me right after college. It is a vintage aluminum tree with a handmade garland from my bestie, Angela and pink shiny brites.

and tree number three (turquoise mini tree). This tree is full of ornaments from all of my crafty friends that were sent to me :) I love them so much:

** My vintage ornament collection

** crocheted garland that I made to hang my Christmas cards on:


I am keeping this up year round to hang my instax minis on :)
** our advent calendar and handmade fabric trees:

** my nativity scene:

do you like how I bought a pregnant woman figurine as well so that Mary can be pregnant until Christmas? I looooove it <3
Now, here are some things that I have been up to lately:
** Rearranging my crafty space :)

I change this little shelf a lot. I am starting to think of it more as another little inspiration area that I can change up :)
** crocheting a TON

I wrapped everything that I have made or I sent it out without taking pictures :( I need to get better at that.
** sorting tons of buttons:



which I have found to be a really relaxing task!
Yay!!
Today will consist of:
* cleaning
* loads of laundry
* waiting for UPS
* wrapping
* going to get fun stocking stuffers for my man :)
* listen to the rain
* hang out with my parents
* bake brownies
What a very fun first day of winter vacation.
Praise the Lord for all of these blessings :)
