Christmas Time!

I'm decorating over here!

My penguin nativity set has been up for awhile and now it's tree time!

But there's one problem I'm on a budget and I would rather spend my spending money on clothes that I need - so I decided to make my tree. (I'm poor! LOL)

I love it! It took 4 different colors of green to make that bad boy, there are blue lights on it (a tribute to one hilarious family tree) and red ball ornaments, and to top it off there's a yellow star. I'm proud of my Christmas tree.

I bought a Dr. Who advent calendar when I was Asda the other day; so that's hanging on the wall as well.


I also made presents and put a couple under the tree (I didn't plan it to be to scale) FYI - the blue w/ the orange bow is from The Doctor, it may look small but it's larger inside.

I'm not done yet though... When I look at it I can tell it's not done. It needs something else on the other side of the advent calendar. I've been thinking of what and I think I figured it out - an angel. I'm going to draw / color an angel (but not a weeping angel because those are creepy)

I also think my door needs a wreath. This is so fun!!!

Oh yes, I started a memory wall today as well. I look forward to adding to it.


Oh boy there's a lot of exclamation points in this post... I must be really excited.
