As soon as Thanksgiving is done, the Christmas decorations go up! This year I've had fun painting some personalized ornaments for our big tree in the living room. I just bought some unfinished ornaments from Hobby Lobby and painted them however I wanted! Here are the 4 stockings that I just finished. I picked these because they are actually pretty big, and we have a humooooongous tree. So, here they are...
Here are a few pics of my dining room. I just love the christmas tree in there. It's slender and rustic looking, with pine cones and sparse branches. In fact, it's the only tree we put up last year. This year, we did gigantor tree in the living room, and this one in the dining room. Sean says the feathers out the top are an ode to my maiden name....ha ha - Peacock!
Nativity scenes are one of my favorite things about this season. I love my wooden one. To add some fun on the sides, I filled apothecary jars with beads, wooden balls, and shiny ornaments.
This is what I came up with for a centerpiece. I like using a tray to hold all of my goodies, and this vase seems to be just right from one season to the next, so I've just been switching out the filler. I found fun beads and feathers at Hobby Lobby. I had the two topiaries from clearance after Christmas a few years ago, and threw in some natural looking ornaments on the tray. All I have to say is it's a good thing we don't live in the same town as a Hobby Lobby. I can do some serious damage in that store!
