Pinning! Christmas Edition!

Man…these last few weeks have been crazy at our house!  Sickness and finals (for Patrick) have been all too common.  Plus, we went to Chicago on Friday and Saturday for some Christmas shopping.  It was a ton of fun, and we were so excited to bring Henry there, but it just happened in the middle of a lot going on.  

But, among all the crazy, there is ALWAYS time for Pinning!  It kept me sane while I was sick. So I thought I’d whip out some of my favorites from my holiday pinboard.  

You’re welcome.

(And as always, all photos are linked to their sources.)

Pears with goat cheese, pistachios, and cranberries.  What a great holiday appetizer!

Love these cute paper tree cut outs.  Such a great gift topper idea. 

Photo printed on velum and inserted in a glass bulb. What a great gift for a parent/grandparent!

I really am loving paper snow flakes.  

How to cut said snowflakes.

What’s not to love about glittery branches?!

I’m loving velvet for wrapping gifts.  So pretty!

Anthropologie does The Nutcracker.  Perfect.

I thought this was brilliant.  Spray paint glass ornaments through lace.  I would like to try this with some gold spray paint. 

Do you do the Elf on the Shelf thing?  This is the first year I’ve ever heard about it.  I think it is one of the cutest things!  I can’t wait until Henry is old enough to start this!

Lovely holiday greeting card.

I hope you are enjoying planning for your holidays!  Only 2 weeks until Christmas!
