I've been such a lazy blogger lately...having too much fun decorating for Christmas, going to bed early, and cleaning house. Okay not so much fun on the last one, but I do love the result. Love the smell of bleach...
I've also been finishing up some Christmas projects. I plan to spend all day tomorrow working on doll clothes--the project I can't seem to make any headway on. I will, however, take a break for a quick trip to Knitty Cat (need a project for my trip to Phoenix this weekend) and to the paper supply store for little brown bags for Advent goodies for the girls.
Here are a few Chrismtas pictures from my house...
I love twinkle lights on the tree!
We decorate our tree with candy each year. Peppermint garland, pixie stick stars, and lots and lots of candy canes.
My thankful tree has become a bare branch tree...soon to be filled with those little brown bags filled with parts of the Advent story.
My new "JOY" garland. While I'm not a scrapbooker, I do love some of the vintage looking scrapbook paper out there. This is what I came up with to use it this Christmas. (I bought the plain wood letters, Modge Podge-d the paper on the front, then filed off the excess to make the edges look worn. Drilled holes and ribbon put it all together.)
Our Advent candles all ready to go on Sunday for the first Sunday of Advent. (It was nice to run out to the backyard for pine branches again.)
A few reindeer marching across the coffee table in the family room.
That's it for now!
wow! your home looks so nice and festive.
we still have halloween decorations hanging up. ::gulp::
