Deck The House with Glitter and Christmas Cards!

Fa LaLaLaLa...

La.

Happy Tuesday friends!

{thumbs up..}

I don't know about you, but I'm so happy we made it past yesterday. The first day of work after a long holiday weekend always seems so long and well, somewhat terrible. Add some rain on top of that and you got yourself a sweatpants, hoodie, and movie kinda night. Yep, that's what I did last night..not sure about you. :)

The Krysh household is all decorated for Christmas, except for our tree which we are doing on Friday, and I'm L-O-V-I-N-G it. I'm a sucker for pretty decorations {shiny and glittery..what?}, comfort foods, Christmas movies, sugar cookie candles that I often want to eat, and snuggling up on the couch. I started decorating our house a little early {like before Thanksgiving} this year, but I really enjoy getting the most time possible to enjoy them.

{runner: Target, candle: Yankee Candle, centerpiece: DIY}

This centerpiece was such an easy DIY. My girlfriend Jessie gave me the inspiration and I decided to use it for our kitchen table. All I did was take a clear round vase I already had at home and filled it with red bulbs {or whatever color you prefer.} Then, I put the silver twigs {found at Hobby Lobby} in between the bulbs to hold them in place. For the final touch I used a hot glue gun to add a ribbon around the top to jazz it up a bit. Very inexpensive and hey, I think it looks pretty cute!

and if you don't think so...

well, back off.

just kidding ;)

I linked up @ Hi Sugarplum to share this easy DIY Christmas craft!

If you want to check out other crafts to make, go visit her blog because there are soo many cute ones.

and then last night I came home to these...

they are beautiful and match our Christmas decor..

double. bonus!

thank you, babe.

It's almost December...holy cow!

I really can't believe it, but I seriously love the holidays. I'm hoping to get our Christmas cards sent out in the mail soon {you know, that is if life doesn't get in the way}, so I figured I'd share our cards this year!

I decided to order our Christmas cards

 from two different places {yeah, I'm that indecisive}:

Shutterfly {because they are reliable and cute} and Vistaprint {because I had a great coupon.} I was nervous the ones from Vistaprint would take longer to arrive, so I figured I could send out the Shutterfly ones in the meantime while I was waiting. I didn't want to be stuck with nothing...because well, that would be just awful.

<insert control freak comment>

Here they are!

I decided to keep the same pictures and wording just to keep it easy, but switch up the designs. The picture of me and Billy kissing and holding up the "1 year" sign is from our 1 year wedding anniversary trip to Boston. You can read about that here if you missed it! I thought it was a cute picture to include this year on our cards. I'm really happy with how both of them turned out!

 What do you think of our Christmas cards?

Where did you order yours from?

Also, I know that I would love to get some Christmas cards from my blogger friends, so if you would like one of ours, leave me a comment or email me and I can make sure I get your address. We can do a little swapsies!! :)

Tonight is the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

and I'm not kidding when I say I look forward to watching it every year!

It gives me motivation every winter to get my booty out of the house and RUN. I'm also known to print out pictures of some of the ladies and tape them on our refrigerator door {I know Billy doesn't object...} Don't judge me until you try it. However, I'm not usually injured every year like I am this year, so it looks like I won't be able to take any aggression out on the treadmill.

sad face.

For now, I'll just dream about magically developing Marissa Miller's body.

{PS-My Thanksgiving full recape will be tomorrow. My camera died on me this morning!}
