It's beginning to look alot like Christmas Table

13 years ago

I guess I decorated to early for the Holidays! DD showed up today with these big red balls. I loved them but didn't want to make a mess with pine garland. So far I have stuck to my guns this year and not added any messy garland. I love it but vowed not to bring it in this year.

I used my Int. Bazaar lg bird plates and bowls from DF last year, Christopher Radko Home for the Holidas small red plates and small white pfaltzgraff plates.

Santa waving "Hi" to all of you and my new set of napkins and ribbon candles.

Added my Friendsip Has No Boundaries little girl and angel dish that was DM. DD and I both bought these s & p shakers that match last year after Christmas so I put a set on each end of the table. Will keep them out and use for Christmas dinner.

I used the same lg candle rings under the balls but didn't have enough for the tops. I added the little gr balls for some more bling on them. After seeing these pictures, I will change out the flatware to my red set.

My new pencil santa candles (which I didn't light) so I can use them again next year. The little red bags hold 3 pieces of faux coal. Some say "You've Been Naughty" and some say "Merry Christmas". I thought they would be cute on the tree but didn't use them so put them on the table. The santa coasters were Dm, she had made out of plastic canvas. I showed the F & F Santa Cookie Jar and cake stand from DD before but it made a quick cp.

I see from the first photo that you were 'dancing on top of the bar' again. LOL.
I have to say Punk, of all the tables you've done, this one may very well be my favorite!! (even tho you didn't bring out the garland, and I love seeing garland. But I sure don't love getting mine out and dealing with it either)

I don't even know where to begin to comment on all the wonderful parts of this table! I just flat love it all
and keep scrolling back up to look, cause I know I missed stuff the first few times. Its an inspiration album keeper, I don't want this one 'disappearing' from us.

This table is amazing. I just looked and looked. There is so much to see in this rich tablesetting!I like those big red balls and the little santa sitting on the edge of the plate. Everything goes together so nicely. Great job!

Karen, not only are the candles purple, but they smell wonderful!! Nana, thanks for the good wishes. It has been a wonderful day. Pat, I found the tin sign first and when I saw that little chick vase, I knew they would look great together. Jane, I bought another tin sign at the same GS and it is in another vignette yet to be photographed. Thanks for the good wishes. Punk, thanks for the sweet comments and the good wishes. As for the cross and first Easter book, just like Christmas, I like to acknowledge the reason for the holiday, not just the cutsie traditions. Marlene, thank you. ARC is Association for Retarded Citizens and is a chain of TS's' They are all over CO. I don't know if they are in other states. Luvs and Jeanne, the bunny rug is brand new and is on my carpet at the entrance to my dining room. I sure wouldn't donate something like that, but I am glad someone did!! Frou, based on your response, I guess they have ARC's in Illinois! Thanks, Easter is breaking out all over around here. I will post more pictures later. Thanks everybody, Candy

Cruz tablet for Christmas, where to begin?
Q

do all the updates for it before you put anything on it because many times doing big updates can wipe it clean. Also you want to get the sd card for it (be sure you get the right kind) and you want to put your books and stuff on the sd card so you do not fill up the small internal memory, many apps can also be moved to the sd card and should be. If it does not automatically find the updates when you connect your wifi, you can go into settings and in that list there is an update option you can select and have it check for updates. to get books from barnes and nobel or amazon you do have to set up an account on their website and have a user name and password even if you are only getting free books it looks just like a regular purchase only the price will be zero. I would do that and go to barnes and noble and select some of their free ebooks to put in your nook account, then if it has the nook reader when you open it and select store it will show you your archived books you just select them and it will put them right on your Cruz(you do this while using the browser on the Cruz) If you do not have the nook reader just go to one of the links I provided you above and download the nook reader. Just go ahead and get started don't be scared of it. Unfortunately though the one you got is pretty outdated, and you will need to use your finger nail to tap and it takes a harder tap or use a stylus. but your best option is to fully read the user manual for it. this link is the pdf manual download it to your pc and save it so you have it. Getting Started with - Cruz Tablet also here at the cruz page Cruz User Guides Available for Free Download Support Center this is important! this older model it sounds like you will have to do the update by putting it on the Sd card then moving it to the Cruz, so this model may not automatically get the updates. How do I update the firmware on my Cruz Tablet T301? What apps are compatible with the Cruz Tablet T100 series or T301? It appears this model does not have the android market on it. How do I install Android apps? Since the market is not on the Cruz go to my original post and click the links I provided for you to download and install the amazon app apk and also the getjar app apk, once you install those on your cruz you can get your apps right from those 2 stores directly from your cruz and install them. Much easier than the directions they are providing. since this is an older model with an older android you will have to do a lot more yourself but once you have it set up it will be functional.

Oh my, that's stunning! Saturday, here in Nor Cal, people were walking around in shorts and t-shirts. I had on a fleece and red scarf, just to get into the x-mas spirit, and I was the one getting funny looks!

YAY! I'm glad you all like them too. DH says, "Yea... their alright.. I don't care". I love it when he doesn't care. They are around $8.50 each (average) when I cyber looked around. Does that mean it's junk, cheap, normal, expensive side? I have no clue since I can't remember what I paid for the cup pulls I bought for the bakers table.

what a festive Christmas table - I would love to sit down and enjoy friends and family in a meal - beautiful job :)

I am planning on finding my table today so hubby and I can actually sit down and eat a meal together :D - when I am in a decorating mode my table is my staging area - now I need to find hiding place for everything I have taken down so I can put Christmas up .....

What a terrific job! Everything says, "CHRISTMAS." I can't imagine what else you can do to add to it. It's got everything.

OMGoodness, layer after layer of wonderful things. You have got this table setting down to an art now. I have to admit I love looking at all the tables, and buying the dishes. But putting the actual tables together is not as fun to me, unless I'm actually entertaining. You are my energized hero.

totally agree with what everyone else has said. Those balls are wonderful and I love how you used them with the greenery. Santa makes a perfect centerpiece with them and I sure don't blame you for not burning those cute pencil santa candles--too cute. Lovely table Punk, you did good girl! (again)

You are all so sweet with your comments. Wasn't sure I should post another table but decided to throw it out there in case someone wanted to look. Was just thinking now I don't know what I'm doing for a real Christmas table. Don't think Christmas balls on the dishes will work very well.lol

I sure hope some of you will show yours and give me some new ideas. I could look at decorations all night. Again thanks for looking and sharing commetnts.

Really festive table, my grandkids would love it, so much to see & explore, almost like a department store holiday window. They think mine is too plain this year, but xmas is coming up too fast on me this year & had to downsize.

I have the same salt & peppers on my table only in red & green, and now can't remember where I bought them last year, but they sure are cute.

Love how you used those red balls on the plates, now there is an idea I'll keep in mind when going to garage sales next year.
