Come on in!

Take a peek on the inside...




our front door became our color pallet for the rest of the house...



a view from the entry way and


the rest of the living room.


the churches and lights are a special favorite.  I made the piano key sculpture that will remain up all year.






a view of the fireplace


This is a mixture of artificial greens and real, the hydrangeas are dried.   The candelabras were found at a garage sale for $10 for the pair and I had them rewired.


Here's my bookcase I found for $10 at another sale...




how I love spray paint!




vintage by crystal made the jolly christmas from two toilet paper rolls and the three angels came from grandma's house.


sissy is on my dad, I'm sitting on my mom.  


the camera came from Trent's grandmas.

I will have to post more later...this is taking longer than I thought it would!

Merry Christmas!

I know I've skipped fall but I started decorating for Christmas on October 22 this year!  Handing out candy on Halloween and decorating the tree was certainly interesting.  Our home was open for a Christmas Walk to raise money for the developmental disabled.





Here's our 1955 Hudson Hornet just returning from the country.


vintage paper wrapped gifts in the back window...


and a wreath and bow to make it complete


a view of the porch...


love these planters that Steinbrinks landscaping did...



next to the front door...
"...and they will call him Immanual-which means God with us"


can you come over and have a cup of cocoa with me?


my mom cut greens from her farm...can't believe how beautiful this turned out!  pine cones and a candle in a basket with twigs sticking out, set it on greens and finished!


 another view...


sissy let me borrow her sled, the skates are mine...love the greenery that the landscapers added...


I'll take you inside tomorrow and then show you the pictures after the snow came!
