it's time

Proof:  Today I had a magical Christmas moment when I was in the costume shop working on an apron worthy of Mrs. Claus for myself (we have some down time) and the Glee version of Baby It's Cold Outside came on.  And I was wearing my first holiday pin (since I got back to school--you better believe I wore one the day after Thanksgiving) of the season.  And I smiled to myself.

Because you guys.  Tomorrow is December.  It's Christmastime for everyone now, not just crazy people like me.

easy garland how-to

I'm in a slow process of Christmas-ifying my dorm room.  If I had it my way, it would be completely decked out by now, but it's Ted's first all-out Kaylie Christmas (he's Jewish), so I'm waiting for him to get over a bout of the flu so he can help decorate.  Nevertheless, a girl has got to get her craft on.  The other weekend I found some awesome sparkly pom poms at the art store when I was stocking up on Christmas gift supplies, so obviously I had to work them into a Christmas project.  My first instinct was GARLAND!

All you need:  A needle, thread (I used embroidery floss so I could half it into three strands), and pom poms.


All you do:  Thread the needle and poke through each pom pom. Space out as desired.

And voila!  Super cute and super simple garland.

happy thanksgiving!

Today I am thankful for HOME!  So thrilled.  Hope your day was lovely and tasty!

Time to go nap it up in preparation of Black Friday.
