Outside Christmas decor......

Hello everyone...

I hope all is well with everyone and you all enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends...

I've been trying to take some outside pictures of our home decorated for Christmas but the weather hasn't been cooperating....really windy and cold...

I did manage to get a few without my hands shaking to bad from the cold....

We didn't put up the icicle lights around our front porch this year...we opted for flood lights that

light up the entire front of the house instead...I put my welcome lights in all the windows and made swags out of real greens and winterberries to hang from the windows....

Two six foot alpine trees are in the front windows of the new sun room....another room I have the pleasure of decorating...

Decorated my extra large wreath to hang centered above the front porch....I made sure DH cemented in a long treated nail last summer when the stonework was being finished so I could hang a wreath at Christmas....I was thinking ahead....he did the same in the stonework on the sun room where I hung my black star.....









































































This is the front of the house at daylight....you can see the wreath hanging and the swags on the windows...















I hope you all enjoyed look at our home all decked out for Christmas....stay tuned for some inside pictures over the next few days...

Thanks for stopping by.
Hugs to all,
Trena

Happy Friday everyone....

Just wanted to post a few more pictures of my Christmas displays that I have done around our home for the holidays....

I took my old wooden candle box and filled it with greens,winterberries,snowballs,candy canes and gingerbread men.....Sprayed it with alittle snow ...added a grater light and wa la....I had my wooden bench with the canister on the stove already....just changed the contents of the jars with holiday items....dried apples,gingerbread men,rag balls and cinnamon sticks...


































This is an old bread riser that belonged to DH mother that I just filled with allot of greens,winterberries,snowballs,candy canes and gingerbread men....I also put two of my stump dolls in to change it up a bit....sprayed it with fake snow and put it on my dining room table for the holidays...

















That will be all for now....I have to get back to my decorating...alot more to get done...

Wishing everyone a great weekend...

Bowl rack....holiday touch

Hello everyone....

Its a cold rainy day today here in central Pa...A good day for decorating....



I've just been decorating the home for Christmas...baking cookies....and making crafts..

I done alittle decorating on my bowl rack yesterday evening...it's simple..but has the holiday touch...























I've paired down quite abit the past couple of years for the holidays...just want something simple...not anything glitzy...

I like being able to go out into my back yard and find the green's that I need for my decorating...I am so blessed to be able to do that..I know...not everyone can..



I also put up my tree in the Family room last night...I didn't get it decorated yet...that's on my list for this evening....This tree gets all the homemade wooden ornaments with raffia...Simple but cute...



Wishing everyone a great day and thanks for stopping by...

Hugs to all,
