Christmas Tree & Decorations

After a much needed break from helping my parents…..my tree is up and my decorations are out.  I didn’t put out all of my trees this year because I was just plain tired, but for the most part it is all out.  I have one tree that I normally put out with cinnamon sticks and orange slices with rice lights, but I couldn’t find that tree.  Hmmm, maybe I will find it before next year rolls around (lol).  Anyway, here are some pictures of my tree in the family room.  I snapped the pictures before I was able to hide the cords so excuse the mess.  I also attached a few other pictures of the decorations around my home and a few close up pictures of my Christmas tree ornaments.  I love this time of year!!

Here are some decorations that I have around my home.  This Santa is in my entry way…. you might have seen him as my blog header as well.

I had my little snow girl in front of my checkerboard, but then I made a snow girl made out of a gourd and decided that she would look better up there.  Isn’t my snow girl gourd cute?  Gosh, isn’t that a mouth full?!?

Here are some close up pictures of my gourd .  I thought she turned out real cute!

Are you anxious to see more?  Well, let’s take a look – ok?

Hope you enjoyed all of my Christmas decorations.  I have them scattered here and there throughout my home so there is a little Christmas cheer in every part of my home.  I also had to show you a new beauty that I purchased before my Mom left her old house.  I had my eye on this bowl rack for some time and well…. I finally bought it.  I just need to load it with bowls now.  If any of you gals out there see any bowls or are selling any in your shop please let me know.  I need a couple wood bowls to fill my rack up.  Of course they would need to be a rather good size to look right.  Here is the black beauty!!  Isn’t it pretty?  I am not sure if you can see it, but there is some red in it as well.  Very pretty!!

Well, I better run for tonight.  Hope you all are recovering nicely after eating all of that turkey, stuffing and pumpkin pie.  I know that I am doing just fine, but could probably go for another piece of pumpkin pie right now (lol).  Mmmm, with lots of Cool Whip!!

Blessings, Lisa
