Mermaid Kisses.

I have been behind in my home decorating. I know that I told myself that I would update my decorating monthly...but it has been hard to find the time to do so. But today I had this overwhelming desire to do something about it! As you know, I have this fascination with Mermaids...so I found this quote, "Mermaid kisses & Starfish wishes." Well, I can't really say that it's a quote per say, but it's something that caught my eye.

After I did my chalk board creation thingy, I like to do a mock up of the display that I do...

 

...but, I felt that it was lacking something...I really didn't like how something was missing. So I thought and thought and so I came up with it was missing a cute little...

...SEAHORSE! Don't you think that that little guy made the piece?! I think it does and I love it! :)

Well, here is the final verdict! I love it! I used several pieces of my coral collection, and blue Christmas balls, a faux pearl chain, and I drew some bubbles on smaller pieces of chalk board canvas to complete my display...and so now when I walk into the front door...this is what greets me. Makes me smile. :)

Blue Christmas.

So, I am quite excited because we finally were able to put up our Christmas tree! I wanted to go with the blue theme this year...and so we did. My brother and my housemate helped me with it...and we had fun putting it up! Now, I just need to wrap my presents and put them under the tree! The lights are SO beautiful!

I'll add the presents soon!

So pretty! It makes me smile!

My Christmas nails this year was done fast. I didn't realize that I would be busy...but what do you expect! Weddings and teaching and studying takes up a lot of my time...and so here are my Christmas nails! Super fast, yet fun! Well, I hope that this Christmas will be filled with lots of fun! Even though Amanda will be going home for Christmas, she will be back for New Years, so that is good...:) Well, I need to go to sleep now...but yes, I am excited for Christmas! :) Oh yeah, here are my nails!
