Who says the elves are only in the North Pole?

Busy, busy, busy.... we are having a handcrafted Christmas here at the Edwards' Household. I am normally not one to "show off" my creations, however, I am extremely excited about the holiday decor we have crafted this year. 
It was way overdue for a Tree makeover, so this was the year... we were given a tree last year as a gift, so what better time to buy new decorations and ornaments. I always loved the "fun" trees that were decorated with lime green, red, and glitter!!! So that was the theme we went for... Santa, glitter, lime green, red and Mr. Snowman!!! Along with the tree I decided that we needed new stockings, and a tree skirt... but I didn't want to pay the expensive price that goes along with new one's. So, I sewed them myself!!! Yes, you heard it- me- I did it!!! I am so proud of myself too, in the back of my head as I sewed, I thought "what am I going to do if it doesn't turn out the way I like, what if I have to try and find what I want" but to my astonishment it worked out. (with the help of my mother and mother-in-law) what would I do with out them!!!
So here are some pictures of the den all decorated for Santa!!! 






Like I said before, I normally don't like to "Toot" my own horn, but I am just so excited about what I have crafted I just had to share. I hope everyone is enjoying this holiday season, it is a time for family, friends and most of all FAITH ! I will have a little more time on my hands now that all the decor crafting is over, however now it's time for Christmas Shopping.... Wish me luck!
