Living Room All Decked Out for the Holidays

I'm working on some Christmas gifts before we head over the mountain to see our kids in Redmond for the weekend.  Can't wait to see them!!  I also want to get some cookies made to bring...too much to do, so little time!!


I am going to let the pictures do much of the talking for me today.  My living room...

I tucked in my dried hydrangea between the branches in my new Martha Stewart tree.

 I made all the hand~painted wood ornaments on my tree over the years.  The knitted items were made by my Great Aunt Myrtle and the felt ones were made by my hubby's grandmother.

I also made the angel in the fabric dress.

I also made the bear on the star hanging below the candle holder.

This is a music figure that my parents gave us the 1st Christmas we weren't with them.

Some vintage ornaments in my new wire basket from Goodwill ~$1.99.  My sis~in~love, Kathy, made the table runner.

My hubby made the shelf & the snowmen are my new goodies from craft shows I got this year, plus the vintage wreath with vintage corsage I added.

A vintage lace piece for 25 cents & a dried hydrangea from my yard.

  I didn't get out my snowman collection this year.  I have a special place for them, but need to get up on a very tall ladder.  Not this year!  Enjoy your weekend & may the busyness of the season not get in the way of the true meaning of Christmas...
