Bits and Pieces

It's been a week.

A mini-family-crisis-cough-and-cold-filled week.
And, while the crisis is pretty much handled, the cough and cold persist. Tenaciously.
I am grumpy.

So...finding the energy desire to decorated has been next to impossible. I've tried playing the music and watching the movies and still...it's just "meh" ... "whatever" ... very uncharacteristic of Christmas loving me.

Aware that the grinch in me had to go, I got myself busy yesterday. I started putting together the bits and pieces of craft projects I'd found on Pinterest and sent the husband and son out to get a tree. Good news is...it's beginning to feel a little bit like Christmas.

Both of my doors were adorned with Jingle Bells and a bow...Very easy little project. And festive, don't you think? {Pinspiration here}

I got out from under my blanket, got on the floor and put together a garland for the tree. A little twine, a little glue and these cute hearts and stars that I found at Pick Your Plum.

It might have gone more quickly with a glue gun. But my son "borrowed" my glue gun a while back. And, well...we couldn't find it. But I digress...

These candy canes were fun to make.

(I could even sit under my blanket and wrap the twine...easy-peasy)

I'll give you the full Christmas tour when I'm finished. 

For now, I have lights. And jingle bells. 

And bits and pieces.
