Yes, I am STILL decorating! I feel like I have been decorating forever! Actually, I have been....since mid October. But I have been working around working full time, participating in 2 Craft Fairs and a surgical procedure!
Every year I say I must plan better but.........
Maybe next year.
I must apologize for not getting out to visit everyone in Blogland and I promise that once I am FINALLY done decorating, I will visit all of you!
I am finishing the Kitchen today and then moving on to the Powder Room, which will be the last room!
Many of you have been asking to see what I have been up to and I will start the Tour of Our Home next Friday Evening. I will be doing several posts a week rather than the one weekly post that I have been doing for some time now. Thanks so much for your interest!
Here is another sneak peek of some of my trees.......
My Living Room Tree....
My Dining Room Tree....
A wire ornament Tree in my Den....
My Den Tree....
And this darn thing above my Kitchen window out to the Den, took me FOREVER yesterday to do.....
Have I ever mentioned that I pretty much take out everything normal, and replace it with Christmas things in the entire downstairs?????
Yes, I am crazy! Crazy for Christmas!!
So please come back and visit soon as I start to unveil the fruits of all my labors!
One more thing, I have been invited by my friend, Lisa Lewis, Victoriana Lady,
who is employed by the Stegmaier Mansion as Tour Guide among other functions, to help decorate the mansion for Christmas!!!!
I have always wanted to help decorate the White House but this is just as good and I am so looking forward to Monday morning when we start to decorate the Stegmaier Mansion which has been featured in Victorian Homes magazine twice this year. To see the actual articles, please click on the link to the Stegmaier above. The articles are on the mansion's web site.
Thanks for stopping by today and every day that you take the time to do so!!
Hugs,
Debbie

I LOVE Christmas, and have been looking for some Christmas blogs to follow... I am so glad to have found you! Thanks for the wonderful pictures and the links to the other Christmas blogs. What a wonderful way to get ready for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteYou are so amazing ... and wherever do you get the energy to keep going? You're like that battery bunny in the television commercials. I certainly know why you were asked to help decorate S. Mansion ... you're super talented at pulling it all together for the holidays!
ReplyDeleteDo you do a house tour? A freind of ours gives a tour and the cover charge is canned goods that she donates to a food pantry.
ReplyDeleteLove the sneak peak!
