I believe everyone should have some kind of hobby to keep them busy and not become a complete couch potato. Chris loves to brew beer and wood working, plus some other things. I love to bake/cook and sew here and there. So this past month we have been busy little bees getting our own projects done. I can't show mine yet because they are also Christmas gifts, but I can show you the decorating!
So I promised to show you the progress we have been making with our house with the holidays. I have always wanted to decorate our home for the holidays and I am so excited that I get to do it as our first Christmas as a married couple.

Our Wreath |
We found a plain wreath in our Christmas stuff, so I went to Hobby Lobby got a little ribbon, some shiny things, and Ta-Da!!! Our Wreath, pretty cute I do say so myself!

Center Piece 2 |
We got these Silver Basket and Tray for our wedding and I have had no clue how to use them until now! Filler here and there and BAM, super cute! Sticking close to our red and gold theme.

Mantle Piece |
This is just simple but elegant, just like us!

Our tree |
This is our tree before our tree skirt.
Now the big project is kind of both of ours but Chris is the one with major technical skills. We are building our dream dresser. I have had dreamed of drawers so deep you could never see the bottom and nice cherry finish. I have never felt like I have had a decent set of drawers, so Chris and I designed our own. And here are some pictures of the top.

After Stain. |
I will add more pictures later, but so far it's sooo beautiful! Chris has already told me that I get most of the drawers! Man, does the love of my life know how to spoil me or what! The drawers are deep and long! I have a sweater problem, so they need proper storage.
Well that's all for now! Is anyone getting excited about Christmas!? Live, Laugh, Love!
