by christina britt lewis we deck a whole lot of halls. so i don't have a whole lot of energy left over to deck my own. it has to be real, it has to be easy, and it has to be awesome. we go to cedar lake christmas tree farm every year to find the perfect tree. they have a huge pile of trimmings that are free for all. (lowes does too, but c'mon... shop small)   you need more than you think. and they are happy to see you haul them away, so don't be shy.   all you need are some clippers, but i have used scissors before. cut off any big branchiness, although you can totally just shove that all in the pot, i just thought it would be more pinteresty to have steps. so shove or cut, it's up to you. i did not mean to be inappropriate with my middle finger below. i probably should have had camden take another photo but i was cold and on my front porch in pj's and boots when people were out walking their dogs. so...  just shove all of the branches in pots you already have. remove the dead ferns first. ahem...  just keep shoving. just keep shoving. what do we do? we shove, shove, shove...  before...  and after...   the tiny twig is vlogging this week about how to make your own wreath and bows. she's completely fabulous. follow and watch. but after redesigning 15 or so rooms in 10 or so days just before thanksgiving, i chose easy this year and bought a wreath at the tree farm. our family also chose to skip presents and run away to tropical islands with people we love this year. but more about that later. we're dreaming of a warm christmas...
