The Final Leg…

I thought I would post a few more pictures of some decorating I have done that I have not previously shared…I simply cannot believe that this month is almost over and Christmas is Saturday….this month goes by faster than any other to me….

This is on my island…

Greenery makes me happy…

Sharon gave me these wonderful mercury glass acorns and I nestled them in the greenery…loving the silver…found the ice bucket at a yard sale…

More greenery and…

Frosty left his hat…

My Tree…

These are some pictures of my Christmas Tree…it is VERY traditional with all manner of whatever on it…sadly, I don’t have 10 foot ceilings, so I can only accommodate a 7’ tree, but it makes us happy!

There is that flippin’ cord again!  I REALLY have fixed that now…

Coming the the front door…

I love this Santa…I just nestle him in the tree…

A zebra in a tutu and a ho ho ho…

Merry Christmas!!!….

Sharon’s Tree

My dear friend Sharon had a “girls” get together Friday night and we got to see her gorgeous Christmas decorations!  They were stunning!!  Her main tree in the den just took my breath away!  It was just so beautiful!  It has not been without issues however, getting that beauty decorated!  You know the drill, put the “pre-lit” tree together and half of the lights aren’t working…fiddle with the lights, still not working….play with each individual bulb….nope!  SO!  She bought more lights, put them on the tree and she was off!  Here are the gorgeous results of her labors…

Mostly reds and golds….gorgeous! 

Look at these bows!!  She made them out of that meshy ribbon….

Her mantel is just as stunning!

You cannot appreciate the “glitter” factor…..it’s HUGE!

LOVE it!!

And just an FYI, the 3M hooks did not work for her either!

I have more photos of Sharon’s other trees and I will share those later…

Hope you enjoyed this tour of part of Sharon’s beautiful home….Thank you for stopping by!

And no, I am NOT done with my Christmas shopping yet…what is UP with that???

OH!  It’s 12 degrees here right now….lovely….

Kisses :)

 

The Mantel….

My mantel is long, I mean REALLY LONG!!  It is a challenge to me every time I decorate said mantel…I can’t let anything hang over too far, because we use our fireplace and it would melt “overhangage”…

That being said, the following is what I have been able to create for this Christmas Season…

Oh look!  A cord!!  I despise those!!!  It is fixed now…

Winter has finally arrived down here in the South…we have not gotten out of the 30’s this week and snow flurries are predicted for this weekend!  Okay, I am ready for summer now!

Thank you for stopping by!  Stay Warm!

I am linking up with Linda at Coastal Charm for her Open House Party!  Please check it out and prepared to be DAZZLED!

Kisses :)

 

A few more vignettes…

I thought I would share a few more vignettes that I have finally managed to complete around the house…

You have seen this before, but I did add greenery and snow…

A little area in my kitchen….Jane at Mamie Jane’s sent these snowmen to me because I had COVETED them on her blog last year…she made them and I absolutely ADORE them!  Thank you Jane!

I made this using a Christmas card…

That’s it for me today…thank you so much for stopping by….

Kisses :)
