Preparations...

I have been spending some  a lot of time this week getting ready for hubby's graduation party. The graduation ceremony and party are on Friday and I am getting soooo excited!


I'll let you have a sneak peek on some of the stuff that's kept me busy this week

We're having a small party after the graduation ceremony at one of our favorite restaurants, so I've been working on thrifty table decor and other little things for the party...as you can see, my ball glass jars have come in handy ;) I love these jars...you can use them for almost anything...endless possibilities!

I am really looking forward to this special party...and I am just so proud of my hubby :) He really is the best...

Finally December or Already December?!?!

Happy December!!!! It's hard to believe Christmas is really just around the corner, and the year is already ending!

Our fall decor has all been put away, and out came the Christmas decor. I love Christmas and I love decorating for it :) This year I had an eager little helper to help sort through the boxes of Christmas stuff and "help" decorate! He thought it was so much fun. Last year he was still too little to help, but this year we had a blast decorating our tree.
This year, my awesome hubby got us a real tree! We love it! It's still smallish, but we plan to plant it by our house as soon as Christmas is over! We're just so excited about it!

And our tree smells wonderful!

I absolutely love walking in the house and smelling it!

Happy December!

October already?!

I still can't believe it's October! I love this time of the year. We don't have fall here in Brazil, but I still enjoy this season and I enjoy decorating for Fall!

I worked on a couple items this year to decorate our house...and I was pleased with the outcome :)

I still have the same wreath made of coffee filters from last year, I just added a couple colorful leaves, and here it is, hanging on my door ;)

I also tried my hand at sewing a bunting...this is my first time making one of these, but it was super easy and I really enjoyed making it.. hubby & the prince liked it a lot, prince loves to point at it and say "pretty, pretty".

And here is my table decor...I made a pumpkin and an apple out of toilet paper rolls, newspaper, cloth and some felt! Super simple and easy, yet I like it a lot!

Happy Fall, everyone!

Fall decor

I was browsing this site and I found this adorable idea for fall wreaths! I fell in love with it and decided to make one. I ended up making two of them! The first one if my mom's wreath, and the last two pictures are of my own wreath! I loved the results and they were fast and very easy to make and also did not cost a lot of money!  On this site, they made the wreaths with coffee filters, but since we don't have coffee filters that look like that here in Brazil, we decided to use some paper and it turned out very nice! I am so pleased with it! Thought I'd share with you!
