The Porch

I am going to share some photos of my front porch.  I have ordered a new camera and wanted to wait until I got it to take photos, alas it isn’t supposed to be delivered until the 23rd….bummer.  So, I am taking photos with what I got…

The Tree…

I thought I would post some pictures of my Christmas tree this year….as with the mantel I changed things up a little this year….didn’t spend much moolah, just bought a couple of spools of tulle to use as garland….

It’s mostly red and white….

So glad to report that “The Sadie” has not bothered the tree at all….I was seriously concerned when I walked into the den to find her sitting amongst the branches when I had put it up sans decorations….but since it has been adorned she has not touched it….she is such a good girl…..HA!  When she is asleep ;)

She is a fluffy little thing….for those of you who don’t know, she was a rescue from the pound…

I have some photos of the front porch which I will post later this week….thank you for stopping by :)

I am linking up to the Christmas Tree Party at Midwestern Sewing Girl!  Please stop by the party!

Mantel Parties…

I wanted to participate in the Mantel Parties this week which are being held at My Uncommon Slice of Suburbia and Southern Hospitality .  Thank you so much ladies for hosting these parties!

I did change things up a bit this year on my mantel as I was ready for a change….I used whites and reds in the mantel and my tree…but today, the mantel…

I wrapped white boas around a  wreath form to make the wreath and hung it on my window….

That’s it!  Since I changed it up this year I spent a lot of time just standing in front of the mantel with my head cocked to one side just pondering….what to do what to do….I am happy with the snowy theme this year….

Thank you so much for stopping by and be sure and check on the other participants!

Have a Great Day!
