Decorating for Christmas

Thanksgiving is over I can finally feel free to deck out my house in all things Christmas! I love it I haven't (yet) gone as overboard as previous years but there's still time. I love finding new ways to use old ornaments and decorations. My swag of white berries on the fireplace is actually a wreath (unwound) that hangs on my wall year round. Last year I revamped my ornaments by covering them in sheet music. I also went to Targets after Christmas sale and bought a ton of decorations in my new theme of gold and cream for 75% off. I had forgotten all about it until I opened up my Christmas bin to find all the new ornaments!

 I love how my mirror card hanger thingy (for lack of a better word! It is just twine strung in a zig-zag over a mirror) turned out. Especially since in the reflection you can see the back of the cards that are printed on both sides. I love double sided cards but hate how once there hung you can't see the back. By the way you should all feel bad for me that I don't have a ton of cards yet so please send me some;)
 close up of the details.

Cute :) We got our outside lights up yesterday, and I strung white lights throughout the kitchen the day before. Plan to get the tree this week. I'm going to steal your Christmas card idea if you don't mind...usually I hang them on a long vertical ribbon on a wall, but I really like them on the mirror so you can see the back! We recently hung a big mirror in our nook so it will work great. Your house looks really nice & cozy! -Telina
