I have to admit that I have kind of started decorating for Christmas. I brought down 2 of my trees out of the attic so I'd have more room to go through my boxes and start organizing and planning what I'm going to put where. I don't decorate the same way every year. I move things around and try to be somewhat creative. I put this tree in my foyer and am going to put fleur de lis and probably some toile ornaments on it. I bought these gold ornaments for $1 (half off at Hobby Lobby), painted them red, and put a black and white checked ribbon on for a hanger. I am still trying to figure out how I'm going to make the toile ornaments. I have some ideas. You know you'll see whatever I come up with, but only if measures up to my cute quotient. I am going to a Crop Night (scrapbooking) tonight so I'm excited and I'm sure my mom and I will check out some yard sales tomorrow morning. Hope y'all have a super weekend!
Hey Angie how's it going? I love love love your fleur de lis items! I love toile and anything french country too. Your ornament is awesome! I am so excited to see all your Christmas things. So I just spent way too long going through all your old posts. Can I just say I love everything you do! I love all the rooms and ideas you have shown. I am so inspired to keep being creative everytime I look at your blog! You're AWESOME! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh I can't wait to start seeing Christmas decorations,I have six trees that I decorate, if I had the room I'd have 10. LOL. I collect Santas and a lot of them are mechanical and demand a lot of room,so I almost have to put things where I usually put them. But, I love getting them out of the attic. I can hardly wait.
