tis the season

this is the first year since getting married that we haven't been moving right before Christmas so I feel like I've gotta make up for it in the decorations and crafting department. I'm bummed we can't fit a tree in our place but, hey, an 18 incher is better than a no incher.
tree + treats
I didn't even know pretzel m&ms came in red and green and if I wasn't married I probably would've eaten them all by now, but I feel like that would be rude.
joyeux noel
this looks like a kindergartner did it, but that's kinda what I was going for. I used french cause it has 4 less letters than english.
gilded pinecones
I think I would enjoy painting the edges of pinecones for 8 straight hours. it's relaxing and looks classy.
advent
mini versions of things are so much better than their regular sized counterparts.

origami stars
it took me two hours to make 16 stars, but that's cool. (I used these directions)
mull + list
I mulled my orange peel and a ton of cloves and it smells better than any other mulled thing. and I'm really liking seasonal to-do lists cause so far I end up actually doing the stuff.
