Christmas Tour of Homes 2008

WELCOME TO SNOW WHITE'S COTTAGE!


I had so many things to show, I had to do it in three posts!

Check out this one (about tiny touches) and this one (about ornaments) for more:-)










(Real classy of me not to turn off the tv for a pic, huh? I live with three males.....do you know how hard it is to get a shot of the t.v. withOUT ESPN on?)














(I have just discovered these clip on bird thingys.........and they are my new favorite thing. Next year I want to have clip on birds on EVERYTHING!)




This is where the Gingerbread Men hang out:




Candle Rings:


I was searching for small wreaths to hang in the windows and came across these "Candle Rings" that are really supposed to lay flat with a big honkin' candle in the middle. They come already decorated so it's much easier than buying the little wreaths and re-inventing the wheel!

(My parents payed for nine years of piano lessons and pretty much all I can do now with a piano is decorate it.......and play "The Spinning Song" over........and over.........and over.........all dad ever wanted to hear was "Bring In The Clowns" and I still haven't learned it for him! Maybe it will be my New Year's Resolution?)

Cranberries and pine cones!

(Ornaments aren't just for trees!)

Mrs. Reindeer:

The Snowman village: (along with Mr. Flamingo that R decorated at Bible Study)

Here is my tree skirt that my Mother-in-law made me. The boys put their handprints on it in red every Christmas, then she stitches around it and has them sign their name in Sharpie. This item is one of those, "If my house were burning, what would I grab" kinda things. I love it.

And this thing?...............................................

Don't ask............it's a long story.

THANKS FOR VISITING! SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!
