Merry Christmas

The Corner Cupboard

The corner cupboard that we made from an old door
The very top has a santa and snowman I made.

I made the snowman that is in a great old sleigh i found in an antique store a couple of years ago and a crazy quilt santa I found at the Junke Shop

Peace on Earth

In the meadow we can build a snowman

Reason for the Season

Attic Babie Santa with the original GPS known as the Global Positioning Sphere

Snow People

My favorite snowman I ever made, over 10 years old now. I made and sold alot of these guys in my craft show days, would have made more but no longer could find the very heavy flannel fabric I made them from.

My group of snow people, all given to me by friends and family. Maybe someday I will take photos of real people!!

A Couple Other Ornaments

Breanne's ornament last year, Lucy and Charlie Brown looking at comics from the newspaper! I thought it was cute considering she works for the newspaper, but I didn't know about Charlie Brown last year! haha

Cat Ornaments

One of Breanne's 25 Hallmark ornaments
Another one, she has one from every year since she was born.

She gave this ornament to her dad last year.

The Tree

The tree at night, with tripod. Can you see the cat?

T'was Last Night

Just a quick shot of the house at night, handheld the camera with flash.

Christmas 1985

Twenty three years ago Josh was born, and started my 24 days of Christmas. What is the 24 days of Christmas? Well, in 1982 Breanne was born 12 days after Christmas and in 1985 Josh was born 12 days before Christmas. It was a very busy time back when they were little, with presents and parties with Christmas thrown in the middle of it all. Happy Birthday Joshua David!

Santa

My Santa scene on top of the TV cabinet

Wire Tree and Vintage Ornaments

I first saw this wire tree on Margos Junkin Journal blog and thought it was really cool to hold your vintage ornaments, I kinda thought it was old and I would never find one, shortly after that I saw one at a local antique mall and it said not for sale. So, I knew then you could probably find them and they probably aren't old. I looked on ebay and found a bunch and bought one!

Some of these I bought at a trift store some were my parents.

The Stockings Were Hung...

In the sunroom with care! We have no chimney!!

Christmas Close-Ups

A snow lady found at the same place, a couple of years ago.

Ornament

I took this last year and added some effects to it.

I still didn't get out the Christmas decorations, we did manage to get some more lights for outside on the front porch. Last night when I went into the attic I straightened some things up, moved stuff around and threw stuff out. Now I am ready to get the Christmas stuff.

Door Decoration

I made this a couple of years ago from old childs ski's I found at a yard sale , painted them and screwed them together added greens and a snowman I already had.

Starting to Decorate

Josh took this photo of Stinker
Breanne took this one.
Stink, loves to climb in the wreath and swag box. I had some other greens laying on the floor after Dave put out the swags and he made himeself at home, sitting in side the nest we made him, Breanne took some first then when Josh and Whitney came he had to give it a try. Stink usually hisses at him.
