Well peeps, the outside lights are up,
along with the huge snowflakes and big ornaments.
And I got my front porch all ready, which is always fun for me.
The last few years I've edited a lot of "stuff" on my porch,
cuz now I'm starting to take more of a minimalist approach.
You know: "Less is More" and all that... at least I'm trying :)
When the Christmas decorations descend from the attic every year,
it's truly like seeing old friends again. Such a great feeling:)
I feel like I just stepped off the bus after a day at school,
to go inside and put Christmas records on the stereo.
I keep trying to add more spirituality each year as well.
My angel sets a nice tone to enter into our house :)
Here's a close-up so you can see her serene expression.
And no, that's not a carton of fries on her head - it's the tip of a star!!!
I scored this wreath after looking and looking everywhere.
I like it a lot but I keep thinking it needs something special.
Actually, I bet I'll be fiddling around with the decorations
until Christmas, just to make sure everything is balanced.
I love these trees. The 2 made out of cones were
some of the first antiques I ever purchased.
And I got the "Danny's Candy Cane" while Daniel was
in Argentina for 2 years and I thought I'd DIE I missed him so much!
When I saw it, I nearly broke down right there in the store.
I got 2 so I could send him a little Christmas tree also :)
So there you have it - at least for now!
I'll continue posting through the weekend, which I don't usually do.
But my posts were pretty sparse this week, so I need to get with it!
Next up: my little snowman village entry way :) So stay tuned!
