It’s starting to look more festive around this house.
It snowed last night and the presence of the white fluffy stuff prompted my hubby to bend his own strict decorating rule and he agreed to help me put up the tree today. I know it’s only one day early but still…a major victory.
I choose to decorate in a colour theme that coordinates with the current scheme of our living room…gold, white and apple green. This makes it easier to rationalize when I don’t get around to taking down the decorations immediately after the holiday since it doesn’t scream Christmas.
I have a few pictures to share of the decorating…some of the first ones from my brand new (Christmas present) big girl camera, a Canon Rebel T3 DSLR!
Glass Marbles DIY

I was inspired the other day to use some glass marbles for a decorative DIY project, jewelled picture frames. I have TONS of these marbles, that I purchased a long time ago and have never really gotten around to using them in my current home. My original inspiration for these frames was a picture of these jewelled planters (http://www.centsationalgirl.com/2009/05/diy-jeweled-planters/#more-469). I’m also going to make these planters later in the summer to place on my window sill when I bring my homegrown herbs indoors for the winter. I had three IKEA Raket frames in the basement (and am going to make three more when I find the other frames I know I have somewhere). I sprayed them with glossy white spray paint and used hot glue to secure the glass marbles. The link above states that hot glue is okay since it won’t be getting wet, but I’ll see how they hold up and might use epoxy if the marbles start falling off. I’m going to put these frames in a wooden cube storage unit that I’m going to make for the kitchen wall (another blog post forthcoming when the project is finished).
