DIY - easy, peasy ornament idea

The other evening after work I was at Joann's fabric when I came across a really cute yet simple ornament idea.



This ornament would be really easy and fun to recreate to match your own color scheme. It looks simple enough for kids to do it as well.

baby it's cold outside!

Well y'all it's darn cold outside. I know that most of the country has had the painful realization of that...oh let's see...like a month or two ago but it is finally hitting Georgia and the metro Atlanta area in full force lately. Today's high was 40! NOT including windchill...most of the day was spent hovering 27 with a windchill making it 20. Now back 'home' in Washington we would have had snow and tons of it with these sort of temperatures - but here there isn't any moisture in the air (and my static hair shows that like no other).

This was what the the neighbors saw when I dashed out to get the mail earlier this afternoon.



Please contain the jealousy that YOU aren't my neighbor :p

In other news...I have been decking the halls of MattandMegLand! I'll be giving up more deets soon!



SIDENOTE: I LOVE the battery operated tealights! They flicker like real candles but without the worry that you will burn your hair/house/cat's tail.

christmas treezy

We recently decorated our Christmas tree! and I LOVE it! I love decorating for the holidays...although I am readyn to rip the decorations down come December 26th.

Anyways, I was inspired by Young House Love filming their tree decorating and fast forwarding it for all to see...I was even more inspired by a commenter on that blog mentioning that they should make a video every year to document a year to year tradition. I really loved the idea. It would be a neat way to show how your family and life changes over time and just a fun little tradition that doesn't require much work (just setting up your camcorder).

Without further ado...Matt and Meg's Christmas tree 2010!
