I added bands of ribbon to the neutral lamp shades in the dining room with a hidden straight pin, just to add some jazz, I have a hard time with subtle when it comes to Christmas. I added the extra red love to the accent wall, leaning it on the moulding as well I secured it with a tad of duct tape to prevent it from falling.
I picked up a few new ornaments last night , I fell in love with these giant peppermint candies, I do love candy and chocolate inspired things, you will see shortly when I dig them out of storage.

I am enjoying my new chalk board and am using it , to help remember those little things like dryer sheets, and the q-tips I keep forgetting, not need to look for paper and pens, as well it really hides the side of the fridge.
