since it's a recession and i am an artist i decided to make a lot of decorations from paper. i also got my very first artificial tree since i have allergies and my boyfriend has asthma (plus the dog likes to eat tree needles). these are the results of nights doing crafts until dawn because i am a night owl.
i printed reversed letters on card stock and then cut them out so when they were flipped you couldn't see the printed lines showing me where to cut. then just double stick taped them up. this is my first time with a fireplace so i was determined to spruce it up.
i did my tree in red and pink with white and red lights. i love it!
this is my hallway with little rectangular trees cut from patterned scrapbook paper set into the mirrors. i also used paper ornaments i made to hang from the table along with fake snow with some glitter on it to make it sparkle like fresh wet snow.
the hall also got some glittery branches with paper circles punched out and a smaller hole in the center.
in my dining room i did the same as the den but a new font
dining room
i used a paper idea i found online on design sponge's site and made some in different colors for family members to use as well. this was a pic before the tree was up and the presents were being stored in the dining room. i also used the lovely paper chain you learn when you are in 1st grade or something. i punched more paper circles and covered them in glitter and double stick taped them to the light fixture.
and finally, the area over the tv in the living room got some text as well. there are more circles punched out and hung from the letters.
i hope you guys enjoy and get some fun inspiration!
You did a FABULOUS job! 
I am wayyy too lazy to do all of this. I commend you! Very NICE!

Can any policy,however high minded, be moral if it leads to widespread corruption,imprisons so many,has so racist an effect,destroys our inner cities,wreaks havoc on misguided & vulnerable individuals and brings death and destruction to foreign countries?
