Christmas time is here

Just did my first Christmas decorating job with the Gatehouse! This Client is having a Christmas Party and wanted her house to be ready. It was so much fun working with Joey (designer at the store) because I learn so much. She is the Christmas decorating queen! "BG" (Before Gatehouse) I didn't know there was a wrong way to make a bow!

Here are some highlights via cell phone pictures, I hope they aren't too fuzzy... 

enjoy. =)

While we are on the subject of Christmas, I thought I would post some pictures of my beautiful tree that I am so proud of. This is our first year with a normal sized tree so it was fun to start from scratch and do exactly what I wanted...blue and red!

When you work at the Gatehouse and you decorate the store with amazing and expensive decorations all day,  so it makes it hard to come home to your $50 tree from Target. Unfortunately, 5 picks from the gatehouse cost more than my whole tree.... =(  thus, the reason I only have 5 picks from the gatehouse. 

Don't you just love it!

The banner I made out of paper sewn together, oh the wonderful crafty world of pinterest.

And I guess since I am posting so many pictures I should just add my cute fall wreath that is still adorned on my door.

A new Christmas wreath is in store.

Handmade Market in Provo

The Bijou Market is happening next week and I'm REAL excited! =)

I'm going to be on the hunt for some handmade goodies for Xmas gifts. 

I am most excited for Ritzy Misfit, I'm definitely going to get me one of these! Hopefully she will have them at a better price than her etsy shop. 

Second excited for Verla Ivans  

Third excited for these cuties, I may or may not have my ears pierced, but it will happen someday especially if these are going to become mine for $5.95.

Made by Jewls

Hurray for handmade jewelry. Utah girls, see you there. 

The Tekulve Residence

  Here is the inspiration board for my parents house. My mom has a very traditional style but I feel like her decor is a little too formal for the architecture of her house. We want to brighten things up, take away the heavy paisley and add some casual paisley! This is the direction we are wanting to go. Enjoy! =)
