Christmas at Our House

Ok, I finaLLy took some time today and got my pics taken around the house. I reaLLy didn't have time today to be doing this, but I've been rushing around like a chicken with its head cutoff all morning getting orders done for shipments (for eBay) and rushing to the post office, that i needed some down time to relax before I head back to the craft table and work on more orders.

Here are some photos around OUR HOUSE........of course, our tree isn't decorated yet so there is no picture yet, soon promise..........our lights are on the tree, but no decorations yet, we plan to do that on Sunday when we're all home together. With Steve's new job schedule, its hectic here now. The pictures are small, so click on them to view larger if you wish.

My Santa claus and Poinsettia that I just had to have, the poinsettia that is.........

My favorite thing about my house, my banister with my garland/lights/berries on it, everyone just loves it, although I keep the garland/berries/lights up all year round, this bow makes it look more like the holidays!

Ok, above is my garland on our dining room doorway. I just had to have these large christmas tree balls, too big for our tree of course, I bought 4 of them.........I wanted large ones last year but never bought them, so I did this year. And they kind of looked neat hanging here with our mistletoe and garland bow. And of course Steve pointed out, they are Redskins colors, but wasn't planned.

Ok, my 1st year decorating my kitchen, its a little messey on my kitchen buffet table but here is some of it, my gingerbread lady ---my kitchen is done in gingerbread year round but I added some placemats, and flowers to the table this year.

And my back door decor........Normally Mr. Santa sits inside but for some reason Steve's Redskins decor took over our living room and something is in his place where he normally stands..........I thought he looked neat by my "fake" poinsettia plant by the back door. More people and our neighbors see our back door more than our front. But I still have my "fake" poinsettia by the front door too. I have more pics to post and will do in the days to come.

My blogging will be limited through the holidays until I get caught up on orders to ship........that is my goal this weekend. To get caught up and everything shipped by Monday.
