Revamped Wall!

 

Hubs decided to place an old bamboo kitchen rug that we had on the wall in our bedroom and created this display! He nailed the rug into the wall which happened to be a perfect fit from ceiling to floor. He was able to hang the pictures with nails through the bamboo-I love it!

Making Reindeer and Wreath Cookies

Mae came over and we made Christmas sugar cookies! They came out super cute and equally delicious. We bought store bought roll sugar cookie dough, then flattened them out. Once they came out of the oven we endented the sides to be shaped like a reindeer head. After they were cooled, we iced them, and used pretzels for their antlers and M&M's for their eyes and red noses!
