{The Making of a Tacky Christmas Sweater}

This Saturday my company is having a Tacky {well it's actually called Crazy, but I like the word Tacky better}Christmas Sweater party and I've been going crazy trying to find the most awesomest {don't judge, yes I said amesomest} sweater. Of course I couldn't just buy a used one from ebay or Goodwill {not for lack of trying I must add} so I've decided to make my own. Don't get all excited and start scrolling down to the end - I am not showing the finished product until Monday because I don't want my co-workers to see it until the party. Since there is a contest and prizes for the top 3 winners - I don't want anyone stealing my idea. So come back on Monday for some hilarious pics from the party - as well as my final {hopefully prize winning} handmade "sweater"!

This is gonna be good....

{Deck the Halls & Your Home}

Still getting the house ready for the holidays? Well I've found a few ultra-inspiring holiday decorating ideas from UK magazine Living Etc to help you {and me} out. This issue, by far, is a feast for your festive senses! I could go on and on, but I will allow the photos to speak for themselves:

{Isn't this gorgeous? I just love this idea - the vintage and new baubles combined and hung ever so perfectly on this door...}

{Adore this idea of displaying your favorite Christmas cards in clear acrylic frames...}

{This is just...beyond. Where in the world can I find these oversized ornaments...LOVE}

{Such a cute idea to add just a simple bit of sparkle to your dining room chairs...}

{West Elm Holiday Collection 2010}

Have you seen West Elm lately? I've been flipping through the pages of their magazine this past weekend, and I sooo wish I could actually see the store {but the closest one is 3 hours away in Charlotte - boo...}. This season, David Stark has partnered with west elm for a collection of whimsical decorative accessories. From sparkly wreath's to natural-weaved trees, each piece is a touch of arts-and-crafts using objects from materials like recycled cardboard and paper. Check it out:

Fabulous-ness, right?
