Now back to the snow.......
I had to run and take pictures especially of the outside Christmas decorations.....
Because Christmas decorations do look SO MUCH BETTER with SNOW!!!
This was just a clipper storm or nuisance snow as they call them around here. 1-3 inches of snow but it started during the worse time of day , the rush hour in the morning.
I drove home from work on mostly slushy roads......
I do look forward to the day when I can enjoy the first and all snow of the season and I do not have to worry about driving in it.....
I love the snow on my chippy angel and my Christmas gnome!!
And I love how it sticks to the trees....
This is looking to the left of my front porch......
And to the right of the porch......
And the back yard.......
UPDATE: November28-
When I came home from work the next morning, I had my camera ready . I thought I better take these pictures then because temps. in the 50's are predicted for us...
If this Winter turns out to be like last Winter, this may be all the snow we will get...
I won't hold my breath on that though.....
Now I know I told you that I would be posting Part Two of my Home Tour soon but it has taken me much longer than I anticipated to decorate the downstairs and because of new furniture and different placement of furniture , I have been changing things up a bit so I should have the final touches completed on the Living Room ( I am STILL changing things around) by the end of this week .I hope to post Part Two, Our Living Room decorated for Christmas, soon so I hope you will stop back and visit....
Meanwhile, I have finished the Kitchen and am finished in the Den except for the Den tree and my Doll House. The Powder Room will be next and the downstairs will be finished....
So here are a few more sneak peeks for you......
I did decide to put this fine Gentleman out on the Front Porch to Welcome everyone...
Some peeks at the Kitchen....
And in the Den.....
And I thought I had better tell you that this is a picture of the garland on my stair rail.....
It is sort of a strange shot....
There is a story to this that only shows me how stupid I could be especially when I try to do something after coming home from working all night but you will have to come back at the end of the week to find out....
Then I will be able to tell you if it worked....

We also went to see Trans Siberian Orchestra on Sunday. Out of the 13 years they have toured, we have only missed 2. This year, the 14th year, they decided to change the Story that is the first part of the show...
The New Tour, The Lost Christmas Eve, was SPECTACULAR!!
Here is a video of a previous show....
Apparently Mixpod is now extinct so I have no Music to turn off when you click on the video.....
Anyone know of any other Music programs that we can dd to our Blogs????????

Debbie, I especially love your photos of the yard and the snow on your angel and Christmas gnome and on the bushes, since I grew up in snow country but we don't get snow here. Snow makes your yard a winter wonderland.
ReplyDeleteSnow makes everything magical. Your decorations look especially lovely outside. I don't like driving in it, but I really do enjoy a good snowstorm. I've been eager to see more pictures. You never disappoint. Christmas hugs!
ReplyDeleteKim is right - snow is magical! She also said, as did you, that you don't like driving in it (me neither). We haven't had any snow yet but it has turned cold. Your decor is so gorgeous. Love the gingerbread on your kitchen tree. Love the beautiful decor at and above the kitchen window too. You are an interior designer extraordinare, Debbie!
ReplyDeleteThe snow looks great! We had flurries while it was dark out but rain as soon as it got light. I do know what you mean about driving in it:@)
ReplyDeleteMy daughter has been to see the Trans Siberian Orchestra several times and said it is just amazing, someday I want to go! Your Christmas decor looks so beautiful with all the snow cover. Your stairs are just gorgeous with the lit garland and lush bows. Can't wait to see your kitchen, mine is not finished...maybe I can get some inspiration when I see yours! Hugs, Penny
ReplyDeleteDebbie, there is something so beautiful and magical with the first fresh snowfall. Love your pics and they bring back special memories of growing up in the north. We will not really see much of that here in Texas.
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen is a wonderfuland of Christmas. Love it all and the bowl filled with cookie cutters us darling.
If I get homesick for snow, I will be back to view your garden.
Hugs, Celestina Marie
Deb, I knew I'd find some great ideas over here. You didn't disappoint. Love the all the snow photos. The peppermint decor is so cute. I love it!
ReplyDeleteOh my oh my - I absolutely loved the bowl of vintage cookie cutters. It so reminds me of baking cookies with my sisters a long long long time ago. Your home is indeed touched with Christmas.
ReplyDeleteWe do not get rain here much less snow. The snow makes all your work really look like Christmas.
ReplyDeleteBeatiful decorations, Debbie. Very festive.
ReplyDeleteSuch gorgeous photos in the snow Debbie! Love the pop of red, so pretty.
ReplyDeleteAlways such fun to visit you, everything you is so festive and welcoming.
Happy Rednesday!
Such gorgeous reds! Perfect for Rednesday and perfect for CHRISTMAS. Thank you for a delightful visit.
ReplyDeleteOh Debbie,your home decorated for Christmas is so beautiful I had to go back for another look. The snow brings back so many childhood memories growing up in England. It is 40c here today. Your post cooled me off. Thank you for your visit. My friend collects Bearington bears too. xx
ReplyDeleteDebbie, your home is magical and I love the big Nutcracker standing outside by the front door. We got our first snowfall today but we didn't get as much as you did. Thank you for sharing this with my HOME and have a wonderful weekend, my friend.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Sandi

What gorgeous photos! You can't help but be in a holiday mood at your house! I live in Florida but add enough decor to be in the mood, too! Sweet Southern hugs!
ReplyDeleteDebbie, You are so sweet. Thank you for always coming to Simple & Sweet Fridays. Your inspiration is felt throughout your blog. Everyone loves seeing your photos of your gorgeous home and how you've decorated it for the holidays!! I am so jealous of the snow you just got, it looks beautiful on all your garden things. Have a wonderful week!
