My dear hubby got the lights up weeks ago & we had to start from scratch this year since I gave away all our outside decor before we moved. Our son now proudly displays it all in their yard. So we found some lights at Jerry's Home Improvement Store & large ornaments at Costco, along with other goodies from other places. We will add to our lights each year, but this was a good start for this year. So here is the tour...
When we were in Central Oregon visiting our kids, we all went to look at the light show at Eagle Crest, a resort in Redmond. They always have a lot to look at & I tried a new setting on my camera & actually got a few pictures that you could see!
Last, is a church in the area which had this display. It was hard to get a good picture because of the traffic, but you get the idea...
Well, more to get done before Christmas. I have a couple more gifts to show you next time, with a tutorial. Hope you are enjoying the days before Christmas & remembering the Reason for the Season!
Blessings,
Cindy

Very charming Cindy. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Ahh how colorful is this all? :) Looks like you're all set for the big day!
Hugs,
Love all the decorations, but especially the Club Goodwill ones! And great job on those night photos. Perhaps you could share a tutorial on that?
It all looks beautiful,Cindy.
Have a wonderful Christmas with your family and friends with best wishes for 2012,
Marie
Cindy, so funny we are in the same boat!! I used the last of my lights inside the house to replace strands that quit working. I am having a surprisingly hard time finding stores with lights so we are all dark this year...much to my 11 year old boy's frustration. He said to me the other day, it's like we are the only house without lights outside (not true)..lol
I'm sure your house and decorating will grow, becoming more beautiful each year.
Oh Cindy,
It all looks sooo beautiful! And wow, I can't believe you could get those clear pics in the dark--how amazing!!!
Wishing you the Merriest Christmas ever!!!

Cindy, we used to stay at Eagle Crest in late November so got to enjoy lights each year.
Have not made it last couple of years though.
love your wreath you made, and the cute snoman.

All your decorations look very festive, Cindy. We didn't do much decorating outside this year because our roof is being redone due to storm damage a few months ago. I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas!!
those are great pics... I love the one of your house and how you decorated the 'column' and the garland. did you use a staple gun? or tape??? one of these days well sell our houses and I'll actually get to decorate for Christmas again!! Love your house!
