Christmas Inspiration

Just some random Christmas inspiration.

I love white and green Christmas decor, but don't know if I could actually use it in my home. It wouldn't be the same without the traditional red and green.

How fun is this apron from City Girl Aprons ?

Don't forget to leave a comment on the previous post for a chance to win my first giveaway.

Some Christmas Decor and My First Giveaway

I am having my first giveaway! And I thought it would be fun to pick something from the kitchen store. We put together these cute little packages of Stonewall's sugar cookie mix, some green sanding sugar, and a little Christmas tree cookie cutter. Just in time for your holiday baking. Or it would make a cute little hostess gift all wrapped up and ready to go. To enter to win just leave a comment on this post and if you would like to be entered twice let me know that you have mentioned my giveaway on your blog with a link to my blog. I will randomly pick a winner on Sunday, December 7th.

And now on to some decorating! I have slowly but surely been getting out my Christmas decor. Just wanted to share a few things that I have done so far. We haven't gotten the tree yet (hopefully tonight)

This is a hand-made bear that a friend's mother made. Some people are so talented!
