Yes, it's true. All my Christmas decorations are up. I'm like that annoying radio station that starts playing Holiday tunes on November 1st.
My best friend, Sophia, was my partner in crime and we set up the 11 foot tree. It is a third generation hand-me-down, isn't pre lit and will scratch the dickens out of your arms, but love hurts, right? plus, my husband's too cheap to buy a new one :)
After everything was up (to the sounds of Michael Buble's Christmas album, no less) I stared around and thought: "there's so much more I want to add, I need to make some things". We started that night by making paper chains out of old sheet music that was left in the piano bench from the original owner. There is so much more I want/need to do. Want to join me?

I'm buttoned up & ready to party! Not even close to decorating over here but I will be making decor and repurposing old stuff.
Can't wait to see what you have up your sleeves :) I just kicked off my own Homemade for the Holidays series today, I'd love it if you checked it out: http://mysisterssuitcase.blogspot.com/2011/11/homemade-for-holidays-day-1-snowflake.html
Thanks!
Woohoo! Yay for early Christmas Decor! I'd have mine up if I wasn't have a huge b-day party in a few weeks and need all the seating space I can get - so no room for a tree yet!
Can't wait to see some of your upcoming Xmas projects!
Yay for Christmas! I'm not allowed to put our tree and decorations up until December! but I can at least start the crafting! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
Thanks for linking to a Round Tuit!

So excited to see what you've got up your sleeve! I've starting up a collection handmade gift ideas over at my little blog. Hopefully I will actually get some of them made! :)
I LOVE the music paper chain idea. What a good way to use up sheet music that no one will play.:)
can't wait to see it in real life! I love looking out my back door and seeing your lights... so festive!

This is such a lovely idea. I will be displaying the button proudly on my blog. Would love it if you had time to pop by and link up to my new Monday Christmas Link party. It's starting this week.
