Holiday Gift Wrap

I love wrapping gifts!  They sit in my living room under the tree for almost a month 

so I think its important to make them look pretty.  Below are some 

of my top picks for wrapping gifts this Christmas.  

Let me know if you have any gift wrap tricks

A Clean Start

Welcome to the new and improved Decor Amor!  

This was quite the weekend.  It was full of heartbreak, love, and memories.  

I have been toying with the idea of combining Decor Amor and A L P 

for a while now but carrying all 600 posts with me from the past felt a little cluttered.  

But then I woke up Saturday morning only to realize that 90% of my photos were gone.  Poof!  

In one mistaken click of my mouse years and years and years of my work gone.  

Heartbreak.

After a bottle of champagne I decided this was the blank slate I needed.  

Thus the re-branding and reformatting of this blog all in one weekend.  

It was so exhausting but more rewarding that I could ever have thought.  

Even though I'm still upset to have all of my photos gone, 

I am going to make the most of this and look forward to a fresh start.  

Below are the blogging headers I used through the years 

(and somehow managed to not disappear).  I hope you enjoy and 

thank you all for joining me on this new adventure!

Wreaths, Garland, and a Tree

I love my little apartment a lot.

So decorating it for the holidays is something I look forward to all year long.

This weekend Justin and I are going to pick out a wreath, garland, and a small tree.

The photo above is not my apartment but it looks a little similar.  

My favorite piece of Christmas decor is the fresh garland 

I hang over the doorway into our breakfast nook just like the photo.

I hope to post some photos of festive apartment soon.

Flower School: Holly Berry

Holly berries add that perfect pop of red to a classic winter wedding bouquet.  

They also make for beautiful centerpiece additions and cake decor.  

Holly is available year round and has a vase life of around eight days.

Happy Wednesday.
