This year has been a doozy! It's made me even more excited to decorate for Christmas (if that's possible). I don't normally use red as the primary color for my holiday decor, but a few weeks ago I found these gorgeous flowers and it inspired my color scheme. ↓ It's more of a burgundy with pale green.

10 Minute Halloween Craft | Mummy Pillow

As you probably know, updates for week 5 were canceled due to all that is happening right now in our country, so I'll share what I accomplished in the last two weeks.
