Christmas deco

I've gone decoration crazy at my house. Thought I'd share a little with you.
I was inspired by Cherie to create this wreath. Hers came out truly beautiful. My mom liked this so much I gave this particular one to her, so now I need to go buy some more ornaments to do my own.

Our "mantle". We have bigger stockings, but they're too big and block the oh so important electronics, so they'll come out on Christmas eve.

A few of my Nativity's. I have a couple more as well. I want a really big, beautiful one; perhaps one done by Willow Tree (they're so pretty). I'm going to have to check out clearance deals this year.

I bought some inexpensive frames at the dollar store for my girls artwork from past years.

My sweet neighbor passed these adorable ornaments on to me, but our tree is already full. So I strung them on some ribbon and I love what they add to my valance.

My mom used to have a wreath like this one, and I wanted one too. Super easy to make. Just a wire coat hanger and a lot of plastic sandwich bags tied around it.

Walmart has some really cute stuff this year. I liked this sweet sign. I wasn't crazy about the black ornaments I saw though. Doesn't that seem a little sacrilege? Black Christmas ornaments??

Can't forget the kitchen...

I found this cute idea in one of this years BH&G christmas publications. Three dollar store plates and a little red paint and voila'!! (my "O" is kind of crooked though)



Now seriously, I hope by this time next year my orange walls will be sporting a new toned down shade of beige.
