December // Life Lately

So...it's {almost} been two months! Whoops...

I did do two small projects in November, but obviously didn't photograph them (sigh).

I fixed a recipe clip that my mom gave me. I also made my grandma a Christmas light garland to hang under her TV.

We also held a yard sale at my parents' house which cleaned out their attic (a miracle) and made about $200! I am pretty excited about it and very proud of them -- my mom in particular. She likes her stuff.

Here's our DIY project this month:

That's right! Our Christmas tree. Although it doesn't have them in this picture, there are strands of popcorn on it now, too. That was...painstaking! Ha. The tree makes the place feel pretty homey and I love it. I have been baking up a storm because Christmas = carb-loading (obv).

As for other goals I am working on: I am still running 3ish times a week! I may do a 5k on Jan. 1 just for fun. I haven't really been running three miles, but I know I can do it.

We have been saving our monies. This is obviously my least favorite project. We are almost halfway through this savings plan in addition to what we are saving otherwise -- crazy!

I also have not been buying any clothes!
AND I am done with my Christmas shopping :):)

2013 has been pretty radical, but I am ready for the holidays to be here and to be onto bigger and better things!
