Love it, Mojo. Lettering on that pane of glass looks great--I'm sure not good at doing lettering. Great idea with the electric candle too so it can be lit up. Luvs

Challenge for New Ideas For Xmas
Q

Hi jbkidd, I have a couple ideas for you. Hope they're unique to you and your Xmas decorating. 1. Icicles - Take chicken wire, 36" in length, cut one end to 18" and the other end to 6" (you should have a triangle shape when you're done) You then lay a strand of white Xmas lights on top of the wire triangle. Shape this into a cone or funnel shape and wire the seams together. Then, wrap the whole outside with saran wrap, crinkle and bend the funnel shape so that it isn't perfectly straight. Make it look like an icicle. Then cover it with clear sprinkles of tiny beads or glitter. Do several and hang them on the fireplace mantle or hang outside on the eaves of your porch. 2. Another idea is to go to your local $1 store and purchase a pkg of copper scrub pads. The round ones. Remove the wire that holds the centre together and it will open up to a large round tube. Cut the tube in half and use it in decorating wreaths, put on the Xmas tree instead of expensive ribbons. If you want it wider, just cut it again lengthwise and open the tube up, stretch it open and use them that way. I did my whole front entry one Xmas with just copper scrub pads and copper flowers etc.. in my garlands, trees etc... Just let your imagination go wirery!! Ha Ha Hope these ideas are new and you enjoy creating with them. If you want more ideas - I have a wealth of them. Don't hesitate to ask. Cheers! Deborah

Great thread. My family gave up giving gifts to each other some when we were in our 50s - we all have too much stuff, so we visit each other instead. But I recently married a man whose family is into expensive presents of clothing and jewelry and expensive technology. He, and they, have given me some beautiful things which are not to my taste and I will never use. Some I have been able to exchange - the problem is that I have too much as it is and am trying to have less, not more. So exchanging doesn't work for me. My husband has refused to pass on my suggestions of more practical gifts (like an outdoor compost bin). I am going to try telling my husband that every time he buys me a piece of clothing or jewelry I am going to have to give away something I already have. He knows I am down to what I really love. We are also about to combine households next month, which means paring down even further. Maybe that will make him change his view!

If I understand correctly, you want to be looking from the entry hall into the yard via decorations. The door & windows will need to be close to the viewer (in this case, the big store window). The door, will, of course, have to be open. I like the idea of the pond & fire. Most of us wouldn't have this in the FRONT yard, so go with a back or side yard idea. The pot could be soup or chocolate for the skaters/players in the snow (depending on pot size). Maybe a tree decorated for the birds w/extra color for humans to enjoy. Think late 1800's. "Victorian" "Early America Boston". If you have manequins, a couple of skaters or snowball fighters as indicated above. If not, the sled to indicate they've run inside to warm up. Hope these help a little. Maybe you could get a pix from inside the store & we could use our imaginations to 'reverse' so we could see the finished product??? It'll be a lot of work, but sounds like fun, too!! Glad the fall one was so successful! Good luck!!!! JayOkie

Linda, that is so charming. Your fabric choices are perfect. And the beading adds so much - just makes things sparkle. Your friend will love it.

I can see why you would fall in love with the snowman...he's really cute. I love the way you've put it all together with the window. I may just copy your idea and do the same thing. I love snowmen!
