moms decorations

Becky decorated moms house very nice this year, as mom can't really do it anymore.  A few pictures here to see of her decorations.
A door wreath I made for her some years back

I always find a place for a butterfly as I like them decorating my trees too.

Pretty old fashioned carousel Lynn gave her
the music sounds like the music from the carousel at our state fair

such festive painted pieces

 

 

oh yes,  Mr pine cone tree who sings and talks

I like the angel at the top of the tree with the star suspended from ceiling

the strand of garland has dimensional stars,  can't find this anymore anywhere.

water globe nativity that is wound up to play music and bottom area revolves

cute Santa strand on curtains in kitchen, i like this and a perfect place for them

Pretty blue angel sits on dining room table where the cards below were standing up beside her.
She didn't receive a card from one daughter and niece this year and last year, they are the only two missing.  If they see this, maybe give mom a call.

Becky decorated the outside very pretty also with the sweet bows attached to the greenery

that is it for mom this year - Happy New Year!

home decor

Some pictures of my brother and sister in laws home.  

Wanda  decked it out very nicely.   She said she didn't decorate as much this year - wait til it comes time to put away and she will know she decked it to the hilt this year.

living room tree and a mighty pretty one at that

love "gourd man"  - given as a gift from a friend

I like the flocking on this tree,  it's not over done and much prettier than some I have seen

just like spring weather today

Love the children's tea set ready for some tea and cookies

day after christmas reflections

sitting up late with no lights,  we always lose lights it seems at odd times.  Doesn't have to be snow, wind or rain, it just happens. here are some shots of the night after Christmas.

earlier in the evening

a christmas card mom sent

battery candle power

german nutcracker

an ornament from seth in 2001 and a vintage ornament on right

I have this on a revolving ornament hanger.  I purchased this in Germany , painted in Poland

a pillow steve purchased,  he agrees with the sentiments

bathroom wreath

my bathroom has the soap and ceramic toothbrush holder ,  I usually just put an ornament or flowers arranged in little vases on them,  here is a little candle holder christmas house

a candle in the corner

almost christmas

I like the way Steve put the rope lights in the dogwood tree in front this year.

lights along our fence

Didn't do as much outside decorating this year.   This year is different for some reason,  just couldn't get with it as much, maybe to much news on t.v. put a damper on things.    It shouldn't,  Christ was still born on Christmas Day and his birth is certainly one to celebrate and I am.   Just didn't feel like    putting as much up or   putting as much away afterwards.

A Christmas card sent to me a few years back that I decorated , glued on Styrofoam and added embellishments.
