jingle bells.

Don't be a hater. I may or may not have put up my Christmas tree this weekend. So, it was partly because the ladder was already upstairs, partly because my mom could help me and partly because being a "stay at home mom on maternity leave" leaves me getting inspired to do home decor. I don't normally get the tree out until December, but it just felt right. I did not, however, decorate it (our twinkly lights are all burnt out!). This photo is from another year.

I also might have also started listening to Christmas music. Oh wait. Who am I kidding? My Christmas tunes are on my music rotation all year round. I'll be deckin' my halls to these two new awesome Christmas albums - She&Him and Michael (not Rob) Buble.

I've created a list (and checked it twice) of new little projects that I am going to make in the next little bit.
