Christmas is up , including the tree ... pics

11 years ago

The monstor wreath has been heaved up the ladder and onto the house (not by me of course , thanks loving Hubs) ...

The potted trees promptly welcome those who don't "look up instead"...

Mister frosty boasts a friendly hello , providing he hasn't been sipping the tainted eggnog again , even though he is anchored down...

The little wreath jingles bringing an excitable fuzzy welcome from the 4 footed members of the house ...

The tree twinkles a warm blue / gold glow...

and even a tiny peeking pug says hello...

The lights are on the roof , miles of garland strung about the deck and porch all aglow.

The table and china cabinet are finished so long as the cat doesn't make a mess. Finally , now I can rest. lol

Great fun trees!!!! - If I did a college tree I would be torn between University of Delaware (Fighting BlueHens) or NC State (Wolfpack) but since I am not sports oriented no college trees for me. Love the pickle deal - Mom always had a pickle on our tree growing up - Thanks for sharing..... Lynne

Thank you oldalgebra, Luvs, luckygal,& gardner1908 for your compliments on my newly expanded candy tree forest - LOL! I have them staged now & almost all the hang down ornaments tied with ribbon from the chandelier. They are like those little villages but they are candy trees - a collection of them. luckygal, they are made with styrofoam bases. YOu can buy them at Wal-Mart or craftstore. The candy icing is a mixture of confectioner sugar & powdered egg white with water. Gardener.......I will post you the link to Rhoda's Southern Hospitality Blog where she give complete instructions to these. They are easy & fun to make! I had a blast doing them. Have fun with it! Bonnie Here is a link that might be useful: Rhoda's instructions on making candy Christmas trees

Patti! Can you get me a name and address? Please? I don't sew much any more, and have a Husqvarna Viking 500, But I sure did enjoy the treadle once in a while. Damien absolutely loves all animals, tho he's a little leary of dogs, mostly because he doesn't get to be around them much. He has recently started asking to hold Annie. She is very busy, so we have to be right there, and he can't get her out by himself, anyway. Summer, my DH inherited the clocks from his dad. They need a good cleaning and things checked over good, so we no longer wind them, but I always loved hearing them chime the hour, ect. Tami

Good job! I'm still surrounded by storage bins. I pulled my calf muscle so I'm moving verrrrrry slowly.

Gosh MM, Thanks for sharing, everything looks awesome.
Blue and gold is such a classic combination. Your 'monster' wreath is fantastic,
and the potted trees are so welcoming.
Mr.Snowman looks happy to be the official greeter.
The wreath in the window.
And your tree is elegant and beautiful!!!!
Love the little pug peeking out.
The protective stand is genius.
Can you send some of your energy my way?
I am not looking forward to hauling all the bins up from the basement.

Luv all the blue decor. Wish I could be there when you light up the monster wreath with all the icicles around, I'm sure it will be stunning.

I am in the same boat as Fun2BHere just surrounded by boxes and bins. It always looks worse before it gets better.

Just came inside from putting up the garland outside, I think it's 34 degrees out. Just letting my fingers thaw out. I'm jealous, I sure wish we were done outside. I'll post pics as soon as we are done.

Thank you for the inspirational pics I needed that.

MM, it all looks wonderful. The blue and gold is such a beautiful combo. I had decided to go with lime green and aqua this year on my tree. Not sure I have enough to pull it off but we'll see.

I can't believe you even have your outside done.Woohoo I'm not sure I'll get the outside done this year with the busy times we're having. I'll enjoy yours and everyone eleses so that's ok.ha
