I didn’t just make garlands for the house this year; some other things got decorated, too! In our living room, we cut out loads of snowflakes and hung them on the wall and the window. I added a cute wintry plant and some mercury glass candle holders to one side. The other has a little…

When we moved into this new house we donated our old tree. The cats had messed up some of the lower branches and it was just so tiny that we didn’t think it’d look great in our new place. So that necessitated purchasing a new tree. We opted for the tallest, biggest one that would…
