In an ode to Martha Stewart, Angie and I decided to try and do some more decorating at the house. At Target we spotted these adorable little trifle bowls and I thought it might be the perfect thing to fill with Holiday cheer! After we arrived home from a long afternoon of errands, we went straight to work and here is attempt #1:
My attempt is on the left, packed full and Angie's is on the right, nice and clean and simple. I of course was ready to call it a night and declare the decorating complete. However, being the crafty queen that Angie is, she continued to work with our little decorations. This led to quite the project of pulling berries off the wire "stem" as well as cutting each gold bead from the long garland strand they were on. After a break for dinner, and much picking and fiddling around with the exact placement of the berries, here is the final product:
These were a joint effort and I think the result is much better. I would say that we definitely gave Martha Stewart a run for her money and now the decorating is complete and we can sit back and enjoy the rest of the Christmas Cheer to come!
