Christmas Decorations, DIY Style

Although Christmas is fast approaching, there's still just enough time to up the holiday cheer with a few last minute DIY decorations! And even if they're not quite ready by Tuesday, you'll be extra prepared for 2013 decorating! I've been running across quite a few lovely decorative ideas over the past few weeks, so I thought I'd share a few of my favorites!

Cardboard Gingerbread House by The Squirrel Next Door

Anna Lee came up with this darling version of the Gingerbread House. This one will last a lot longer than its edible counterpart! A simple but fun DIY for all ages, and think of all the decorating possibilities!

A Matter of Style shared a list of 7 unexpected Christmas decoration ideas, all of which I love. The snowflake mobile and pet ornaments are my favorite though!

These animal figurines turned festive reindeer from Camille Styles are some of the most adorable creations I've come across. Lions and giraffes becoming Rudolph, what's not to love?

Happy decorating! xoxo

Deadly Sins

Friday night I helped out with several friends' World Theatre History project on Dr. Faustus. And by helped out, I mean I got to dress up and be in a video, so really I was thrilled to do it!

I was one of the seven deadly sins for the project (although only four were actually included) and ended up being Lust. Anyhow, here are a few pictures from the night!

Getting ready!
