I'm really inferior...your all set for Christmas. I love the way you decorated the mantel.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! So many lovely vignettes. You haven't missed a thing. I love the canvases that you painted.

ReplyDeleteI love all your beautiful and so very different trees, especially the Jello mold one in the kitchen. Pamela
ReplyDeleteoooohhhh!!! I love everything! You are very talented! (my faves the picture frames, jello molds, and the skates! just to name a few!)
ReplyDeleteWow...wow...wow...everything is just beautiful and stunning! I haven't even started inside yet. I just gathered all the Thanksgiving stuff to put away. I wish I could tour your home at Christmas time. We do have the outside lights done. I'm going to start to getting the Christmas stuff out - I only have one slim tree and a small table top one. You have inspired me to get going!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy happy that I found your blog, through the Tinsel and company blog. You and I truly could be kindred spirits. I love your decorations and trees and such. I have just barely begun to decorate for Christmas, because I have been away for the Thanksgiving weekend. You simply must come say hi, and I am currently having a stocking giveaway over at my blog.
ReplyDeleteWow, Your trees and decorations are fabulous! I love the wire tree with the jello molds and the hanging wreath. Everything is so beautiful. I hope you will join my Holiday Decor linky party that starts 12/15.

Thanks for sharing your creative talent and ideas. I have really enjoyed looking through all your photos of your clever decorating. (What is that 'cat birdcage'? on the luggage)
ReplyDeleteI too have posted a few (7!) posts on my blog, showing some Christmas decorating in our home. If you can find the time, you are most welcome to view them.
Hope your days are Merry and Bright.
You have some great touches! I love the "present tree" what a great idea and it looks so cute!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving a sweet comment (I Do Designs). Because of that I found my way back to you!!! :-) Your decorating is absolutely beautiful. I was SO HAPPY to see your skates. I JUST got a pair and had not ever thought about decorating them the way you did. Thanks for all the great ideas!!! Have a blessed holiday season! HUGS!
ReplyDeleteQuick question... I saw you have a pair of white skates as well, but didn't see a close-up picture. Did you also paint them? I have a pair of white and black skates that I want to do something with. Now I'm not going to sleep tonight thinking about decorating them!! LOL!!!!
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! So much great stuff over here!! I love what you did with the skates- so neat! Everything looks absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing at Feathered Nest Friday! :)

Beautiful, all of it!! I do love those skates the best-est though :) Happy to see Quincy in this big ol' blogosphere. We are near Moberly MO and hubby has family in and around Quincy. One of our favorite places to visit! Which reminds me, we didn't get there to Christmas shop this year - darn! -Tammy
ReplyDeleteDid you know your thrift store feather tree is an actual martha stewart feather tree back in the kmart days? I just bought on of ebay, and they have more of them there and they get a pretty penny for them now. I love yours and I also got some of the same ornaments from walmart for my tree as you did.
ReplyDeleteWow! How long does it take you to decorate? Everything is beautiful.
