Instagram Christmas

I am having an amazing time in New York with my family! So many Christmas celebrations, game nights, shopping trips, and non-stop quality time. I love it! Oh, and there was even a little snowfall on Christmas night. :)

I left the camera cord for my Canon back in PA, so enjoy a glimpse into my Christmas celebrations through my newest obsession: Instagram!

 

I hope you're all enjoying this wonderful holiday season! :)

Snow?

It's just a little over 3 days before Christmas, and we've barely had a single flurry. Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't I live in the North East? Where is my beautiful snow?!

Granted, I don't want a blizzard, especially since we'll be driving up to New York for the Holidays...but there is just nothing like a white Christmas. Hopefully, they will have lots of snow for me up North!

I've been ridiculously busy editing pictures, tutoring, and working on Lesson plans, so I have yet to upload any pictures of our very Christmasy home. I plan on sharing some photos tomorrow, but if not, happy weekend and Merry Christmas to you all! :)

Christmas is Coming!

I cannot believe we're almost finished with the second week of December. Where did the time go?

My sister and I went shopping on Black Friday, I did some online the following Saturday, and the husband and I went outlet shopping {major, major deals!} on the following Sunday. Since then...nothing. Sometime this weekend, I need to take inventory on what we have and what we still need to buy because Christmas Eve will be here before I know it!

We have the tree up and it smells amazing. The rooms are all decorated and we just have to add the star on top to complete our Christmas extravaganza! Did I mention that I go a teensy bit crazy when it comes to this wonderful Holiday?

Here are some of my absolute favorite Christmas pics for inspiration:

Here's what I've been loving lately...

I've already printed several of these gorgeous {and free!} gift tags. The second set {the one with the snowflakes} is my absolute favorite!

This would be a delicious dish to serve on a cold Winter's night.

As an avid organizer myself, I love what she said about wanting what you already have.

A handmade teacup candle would make such a sweet gift for a friend.

This would be a great way to showcase precious family photos over the Holidays or even throughout the year.

These napkin rings created by Layla have me thinking it's time to create some festive rings of my own!

Well, I still have some more wrapping left to do ~ eek! ~ so I'd better go.

I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!! :)

It's the most wonderful time of the year! I love everything about the Christmas season; having and attending festive parties, baking Christmas cookies, and especially decorating! Here are some of my favorite Holiday spaces in blogland thus far:
