Finally got my christmas tree =D

So for those of you who reads my blog, you would know that I got to pick out our christmas tree last weekend - such an amazing day we had, BUT my boyfriend and I first received our tree yesterday.

So here it is fully decorated... keep in mind that this is my first year buying christmas stuff for the tree so I don't own a lot.

my chubby tree =)

My bf and his star lol... yes he talked me into showing you guys this picture... media whore hahahaha

Yay 

The best pic I could take of the tree in a crappy lighting =)

My grandma made these a long time ago, and my mom passed some of them on to me =)

I hope you guys liked it.

Have you guys decorated your tree yet?

A day in the woods

Yesterday my bf,  his family and I went to my dad in law's forrest/wood (what is the right term guys?), to pick a christmas tree.

The first question I got was... What kind of tree do you want? my thoughts were ehm a green one lol, but instead I just said a chubby one. I ain't supermodel size so why should my tree be... I wanted a cute little chubby one =D

Anyways here is a couple of pictures from my day

That is our tree =D

My man with our tree and with the very handsome dog Ricki

My dad in laws christmas tree plantage... so cute and look how small they are

And the boss is at work lol

My handsome guy is getting attacked by Ricki and Sam.. they want to be petted 

How beautiful is this =D

My family in law 

Oh and when we were walking around in the forrest it started to snow, how christmassy is that =D

It was a perfect day that went by too fast

So what do you guys have... a fake tree or a real tree?

Hope your weekend was good

Christmas decorations DIY

This is gonna be a DIY project for beginners and clumsy people like me - pinecone edition.

I tend to find that some of the christmas decorations you can buy at the store you can easily make at home, and if you have kids (or just am a big kid) this is perfect.

Some pinecones I found in the woods

Some glitter- this was something I had laying around, you can use whatever glitter you like and it doesn't have to be white as snow.

Decoupage glue... again something I have laying around lol. Decoupage glue is nice, cause when it dries you can't see it.

A pensel. I just used the first one I found

Pour the glitter up into the lid so you have better control.

put some glue on one side of the pinecone and then dip it in the glitter, and do this again and again till the pinecone is covered like you want it.

Finished result - I kept some of them au neutral, cause I like it that way :)

I use these for christmas decorations, but you can easily put a string (not a ring lol) on it, and hang it on the christmas tree. Hope this was helpful :)

Hope your weekend was good

Treasure hunting bieber

Earlier this week my bf talked me into buying him a metal detector and somehow he got me talked so much into it, that I actually bought it for him. 

Last night Bieber  (thats what I call the metal detector cause it bibs bwahaha) finally arrived and became a part of this little family and we took him into use today (saturday).

My bf all geared up for treasure hunting

On our way we go

First stop the beach 

he he he (I was bored)

Our first discovery - a beer bottle cap

Then we found something from a gun shell - we think.

second stop - the woods

then we found some metal thingy - not a coin though

But I found the best thing ever, all on my own - A christmas treeeeee =D

Naah jk this was our biggest discovery an old german coin...

My bf has called around a few places, and we are now allowed to walk around on a couple of peoples properties were its said that once upon a time (not like a fairytale) vikings lived there, so who knows what we'll find
