It's CHRISTMAS EVE!!! 🎄🎄☃️❄️🎄🎄 Time to get busy...... baking. That's our #christmaseve tradition. We spend the day baking and watching Christmas movies.

Omg! Only 2 more sleeps 😳 Are you ready? 🎄🎄🎄Today's #photoaday prompt is #whitechristmas and my snowy owl is my favourite #ornament on my #whitechristmastree #christmasdecorations #christmas #topblogsphotoaday #neutralchristmas #neutraldecor

Ah shoot! I didn't make Santa's Nice List 😢 But at least I'm not on the Naughty List 😊This old #vintagetypewriter is one of my favourite decor pieces, because it's beautiful on its own, but can also be decorated for any season with a poem, a song or holiday greetings. #iloveversatility #typewriter #underwoodtypewriter #naughtynicelist #christmas #christmasdecorations #diy #diychristmasdecorations #diychristmasdecor #agedpaper

I'm listening to #jinglebells and getting SO excited for #christmas 🎄this year. I can't wait to spend some quality time with the folks I love 💕I also recently won a bottle of spiced rum in a raffle, so I'm looking forward to some #spikedeggnog this holiday. I might even try featuring a fun boozy recipe on the blog 😉 Happy Tuesday friends, and we're only 5 DAYS AWAY!!! #christmasdecorations #pointsetta #christmaslivingroom #christmastree #whitechristmastree #buffalocheck #buffalocheckplaid #photoaday #topblogsphotoaday

Happy Sunday IG!!! 😉💕 While browsing around my local garden centre, I came across this adorable little woodsy vignette. It's so unbelievably sweet, right? 🐿🐇🌲🌲🎄🕊 #woodsy #vignette #christmasvignette #christmas #christmasdecorations #naturalchristmasdecoration

Today's #photoaday prompt is #memories, so I'm taking a look back at my giant tree from last year. My living room has had some changes since this photo was taken, but I'm still loving that huge tree 🎄🎄🎄 all dressed in #neutrals I had grand plans on flocking this tree this year, but I ran out of time ⏰⏰ and it got cold too fast. Oh well... there's always next year... 😊#topblogsphotoaday #christmastree #neutralchristmasdecor #diychristmas #buffalocheck #ornaments

Today's #photoaday prompt is #handmade , so I'm sharing my little book page houses I made from old pieces of scrap wood. This $0 project was so easy to do and I love how it turned out 😊 I hope you have a wonderful Friday my friends and just in case you forgot: it's Star Wars day!!!!! My tix are booked and I'm ducking out of work early!!! #christmas #christmasdecor #diy #diyblogger #diychristmas #miniaturehouses #vintage #bookpages #repurposed #easychristmascrafts #christmascrafts #mantel #christmasmantel #topblogsphotoaday

What a day!!!! It's been snowing ❄️🌨❄️all day with white out conditions. Inside this terrarium, I created a little blizzard complete with faux snow as a centrepiece. See all the details and more pics by searching Christmas Home Tour and stay safe my friends #ontheblog #winter #snow #plaid #plaidchristmas #christmastablesetting #christmastablescape #christmashometour #christmascentrepiece #simplyseasonalholiday

Today is one of those snowy days when I wish I didn't have to leave the house and I could just sit at home, drink hot chocolate and eat #cookies. 😊😊 Mmmmmm! But even though it's so chilly out, I do love the snow at Christmas time.... but that's it! It can go away on December 26th. #topblogsphotoaday #photoaday #homesweethome #theresnoplacelikehome #home #snow #winter #winterhouse

Today's #photoaday challenge prompt is #calendar, so I'm sharing a pic of my #diyadventcalendar I made from an old wine rack and little baggies. My kids have been having a blast finding out what special treat awaits them each day. The countdown is ON Santa!!! 🎅🏼🎄☃️🎅🏼🗓 #advent #adventcalendar #DIY #diychristmasdecor #topblogsphotoaday #diyblogger #chocolate #adventchocolate

Taking a trip back to a couple weeks ago when I shared my Snowman Table Setting. This fun little table might just come to life again for Christmas dinner for the #kidstable ☃️☃️☃️🎄 These glass bottles used to be Starbucks frappaccino bottles, and while they aren't #mugs, they are perfect for milk 😉 #snowman #snowmanparty #frostythesnowman #christmastable #kidschristmasparty #cupcakes #topblogsphotoaday #photoaday

On the blog, I'll show you how I transformed a $5 IKEA side table into a base for my #whitechristmastree this year 😊 Just go to the blog #linkinbio and search "Christmas tree base" to see the whole tutorial. #christmastree #christmasdecorations #whitechristmas #diy #diyblogger #christmastreebase #christmastreeskirt #photoaday #topblogsphotoaday #tree

My little sweater reindeer is one of my favourite pieces of #christmasdecor He's perfect for my new black & white holiday theme and I like how he looks in front of my #buffalocheck canvas' that I made using blank canvas' and paint from the dollar store. Yay for saving 💰💰 #christmas #christmasdecorations #diychristmasdecor #plaid #blackandwhiteplaid #diyart #reindeer #plaiddecor #diy #diyblogger #christmasmantel

Here's a sneak peek at a brand new space in my home I've never shown on the blog before!!!! We recently had our gas fireplace replaced with this new one and build the entire fireplace surround ourselves just in time for Christmas 🎄🎄🎄 I'm obsessed with this space and love the #warmth the fireplace creates. #topblogsphotoaday #diydecor #fireplace #fireplacemantel #christmasmantel #christmastree #deerhead #rudolph #naturalstone #shiplap #diy #diyblogger #diyfireplace
