November 2nd.... the first day Optimum plays Christmas music on one of its music channels... YES... I've been waiting for this for weeks! And after a week of hurricane damage, powerless nights, and stress, I could use a little holiday cheer.
It feels so good to actually DO something that I've been oogling on Pinterest! Right before Hurricane Sandy reared its ugly head, I decided to hit up Michael's for some craft supplies to keep me busy if we were powerless, or stuck at home... Thank goodness I did, because Sandy was a bihotch! I can't believe the craziness that has consumed the past week. I still can't believe school was cancelled for 5 DAYS! unbelievable...
Anyway... I picked up a 3ft by 3ft piece of dark green felt and some smaller pieces of other colors for ornaments and gifts. When the power went out, I lit my candles and lanterns, whipped out my scissors and got busy...
Maggie has LOVED taking off the ornaments and redecorating the tree :) Yay!...
And the whole thing probably cost about 6 bucks! So happy I actually made something I've pinterested! Hopefully this will serve as motivation to do less oohing and awwing, and more DOing!
