Christmas Decorations and Merry Christmas!!

Happy Holidays everyone! I haven’t been on for awhile. My pc went haywire and so I had to try and save some of my files from my desktop (I am bad…don’t back up my files like I should )and I am now on a new laptop, early(unexpected) Christmas present.

I wanted to share some of my Christmas decorations. I have truly enjoyed all of the eye candy that has been posted by all of my blog friends!

I love my Jim Shore Santa…just one of my favorites.

Love the soft glow of pewter in the candlelight.

 

One of my Santa’s on top of my chimney cupboard.

 

Another one of my Santa’s with his reindeer.

 

I don’t have all of my pictures on this new pc and time is running short. I haven’t had a lot of time to set this one up. I am still working on wrapping and last minute things. Looks like I’ll be working right up to Christmas Eve…

I wish each and everyone of you a joyous Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year!

Holiday Blessings To All!!

Baby Cash Love’s Snow

Happy Sunday! I just wanted to share some pictures of my sweetie Cash and my youngest son, Cody, playing in the snow! We ended up with about 3-4 inches here in my part of Pa., it was a pretty site to wake up to, but I am happy it is starting to leave!

Cash loves to play ball and snow balls seem to be a favorite!!

He sure has his eye on the snow ball!

Loves to jump…

Waiting for the next one….

Just wanted to share a few “first snow” pic’s with you…hope your having fun today in whatever you are doing :)

For me it’s back to decorating!!

Mother Natures Ornaments & Outside Decorations

 

 

Well we are finally getting some “S”….I can hardly say the word! I used to be a snow person when I was a child…but now that I am a adult I see work…lol I only love snow on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day then it can go away until next Christmas! I know many many people love the white stuff I am just not one of them.

I have been working on the outside of the house, this year as most of you are posting it is all about simplicity…less is more :)

I think I am done with the front of the house…please excuse my shabby chic appearance…springtime paint job for sure!

Below is a close up of the front porch

I worked on my Mother Natures ornaments, my pumpkins were still in very good shape so I painted them red, green, bronze and then primmed them with a little Minwax stain. My DH just shakes his head!! :)

I used the small pumpkin ornaments in my window boxes with greens and holly.

I’m not sure if I will do any more to my fence…but this is what it looks like right now. Not at all what it looked like in years past. This is not a good picture, color wise.

 

I had a helper while I was working outside…he just follows me and roll’s around at my feet. While I was working on the window boxes he curled up in one of my planters.

That's all for now. I’ll have more pictures to post as I finish up inside my nest :)

Have a great evening!

Holiday Blessings!!

Christmas Tree~Oh Christmas Tree

 

Hello! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I enjoyed the yummy food and the relaxing day! It is so hard to believe that it is December 1st. I have started my decorating but I do believe I’ll be tweaking up till Christmas Eve!! Just wanted to show you my tree in the living room….this year less is more, but I am happy with it.

I have to pretty much keep my tree in the same corner, with having Dad in the living room I am limited to what I can do. He really enjoys the tree, he has a good view, the tree is in the opposite corner of his bed.  

I just bought the new tree topper, it is hard to see because it blends in with the wall, but I love the snowflakes! This is the first year that I made the dried orange’s and the rag balls…I love the glow of the orange slices.

The lamp on the shelf is a birthday gift from DH, I just love it…(I wish I could hide the cord going down to the plug…have to work on that one)

I love all of the eye candy that I have been seeing on your blogs….such warm and cozy homes!  Great inspiration!!

Well I truly hope all of you had a happy, wonderful Thanksgiving! I will post more pictures as I get more decorating done.
