I laugh at myself this time of year. I am always just a little shy of "normal" (ok, maybe alot shy of normal), my oh my - CHRISTmas sends me over the edge. I just can't get enough, I love the colors, the decorations, the smells...and it's oh so special when you get to share your CHRISTmas home with your friends and family.
We are in full swing (me, the elves and Gracie) in getting our home ready for our guests, and growing more excited by the day!
I haven't yet finished decorating our home, but I thought maybe just a little peek as we work our way through could be fun...so, here we go fellow CHRISTmas lovers: (btw i heart u)
Remember the old headboard that I bought, and hung during Autumn?
Well, here is how the old girl looks all dressed up for Christmas...
Last night I finished the artwork that will hang in our dining room...
Man, I am having FUN...got to get back to work! Those elves are whining that they are having to do all the work ;p

I made benches out of my headboards, but I love the blackboard idea!! I would say chalk a winter scene... trees covered with snow... a house (your house) and let it shine. BTW LOVE Your ideas!! I will be back often!
ReplyDeleteAnd here is my blog... with benches. Hope you enjoy. I my new years resolution is to get back to it! :D Hope you have a wonderfully blessed day. Thanks for sharing!
