My Christmas Decor & Friends Giveaway!

It's Christmas Decor time! I finally finished a few weeks ago & have been enjoying every second of it so I thought I would share. But, first I want to share about a giveaway that my good friend Tess is doing over at "After One's Fancy". You will not want to miss out on this beauty.

A little background on Tess. She does wardrobe consulting & is always my wonderful helper. I owe alot to her for my wardrobe. I can always visit her at the store & chat with her & she will have the perfect ideas by the end of our convo. So you MUST follow her blog & see her neat ideas. She defiantly has what it takes to work in LA or NY. She will always have something neat & inspiring that you won't want to miss out on. I just love her!

So here is how you enter...

E-mail Tess at afteronesfancy@gmail.com and mention the word vintage. She then will randomly select a winner at the end of next week... Friday 12.10



So along with some fun glitz & glamour, I decided to post all of my Christmas Decor today & leave it up for a few days & along with the giveway Tess is having.

I really decided to decorate a ton this year. It's our frist year at "our home" since Chad & I have been married, & since we have had Avery. I am stoked to wake up on Christmas morning with my little family of 3 & cook a huge breakfast, listen to Christmas music, watch a few cartoons, drink hot choclate, & open presents from Santa. I don't know why but of all years this has been one of my favorites that I am so excited about. Maybe because I finally feel "me" again after dealing with a little post partum last year with Avery, & I finally feel like I know how to be a "Momma". Also, I had such a wonderful year of growing in 2010 with my husband and amazing family & friends!

Welcome to our home!




Inside, we are going to start with Avery's room! I did a lot of Garland in the colors of her room, made a pretty piece for her door & did her tree all colorful! Her tree skirt is a tutu!










Her bathroom is very special. Every year my grandmother has bought me an angel called, "Mary's Angels". I have always kept them close & collected them. I decided to put it in Avery's bathroom this year for her. We are going to keep adding to the collection!




I also added a fun tree in my bathroom. I love taking a bath with this tree on, it's so relaxing & pretty to look at.




I heart the living room area. My tree is exactly how I wanted it this year. The tree skirt is material from Hobby Lobby. I can't ever seem to find what I want so I made it the same material as my dining room table so it would all match!

I love my fire place area & also the lights above my entertainment center. At night when we watch TV or movies, it's just so warm; just the way I like it!














Next is my entry way. I have always been into Santa's but decided to add a few touches in this area this year.




My dining room is probably one of my favorites. I put a lot of detail into it this year with lots of greens & reds.












Finally, the Kitchen. I always love to have little touches of Christmas everywhere, including my Kitchen!

On top of the refrigerator is what I like to call the, "family initial tree". It has mine, Chad's, & Avery's initial & it turned out so cute!














My breaksfast room is off from the Kitchen & I love this purple tree. We always eat dinner in here & Avery just loves this fun tree.




I hope you enjoyed all of my fun decor... don't forget to sign up to win & my friends blog!
