Welcome to my Christmas Blog, A Debbie-Dabble Christmas!!
I am so happy you decided to stop by my Christmas Blog!!
The majority of my Christmas decorations are placed in the same room every year and I know that this is not what most Decorator's care for but to me, it like seeing old friends again when I decorate each year for Christmas as many of my decorations were gifts from family and friends...........
I do try to add a few new things and change up things a bit but for the most part, these decorations are part of my Christmas Traditions and bring back a lot of treasured memories.....
I made the wreath in the colors of the Craft Room......Pink and sage green....
This year, I hung this Avon Calendar on the door.....
When my sons were young, they took turns moving the mouse each day until Christmas.....
On the closet door......
On top of the large shelf unit.......
I took these pictures during the day....
This lamp is one of my Mother's vintage lamps that was on the vanity of the bedroom furniture which her parent bought for her at 16 years old, which is now in my bedroom.....
I did arrange this vignette a bit differently from last year......
There are 3 Trees decorated in this room and this is the first one......
In the evening with the lights on......
The chandy above my work table with the Sun shining on it.....
The second Tree....
This 6 foot slim Tree which was a $5 yard sale purchase with the lights not turned on....
And now with the lights turned on.....
Again, I decorated the Tree in pink and sage green to match the room.....
I used a pink and white striped ribbon for the bows and streamers.....
My Dad holding my son Jimmy in the picture in the tea pot ornament frame.....
My Dad holding my son Joey in this one.......
My Mother in this one....
And a Christmas Spider that was gifted to me by my friend, Anne Marie!
Do you know the Legend of the Christmas Spider????
The spider stays on the Tree year round as this Tree stays up year round and looked like this decorated for Summer....
Click HERE if you would like to read the post about it....
On the floor in front of the Tree.....
On the wall to the side of the Tree.....
This is the third Tree in the Craft Room.....
If it is decorated, I count it!
On top of another shelf unit....
This vignette is pretty much unchanged from last year....
The other lamp that was my Mother's with the shade that I embellished....
I made the pink "tree" out of wooden spoons used for ice cream.....
You can read about it HERE if you like....
In the evening....
Over on the wall by my sewing machine....
Both my sons were born in December with each of them being 3-4 weeks early....
They did not care much for having their pictures taken with SANTA!!
I could not resist this frame bought at a Church Flea Market......"Friendly and full of love, December's child is a gift from above"
Another one of my Mother's lamps on a small stand by the door....
A tissue box cover that I made and used to sell.....
Today, I start packing away Fall in the Living Room which is the last room I need to do....
And a bit of crafting.....
Stay safe, healthy and most of all, HAPPY!!
Thanks to those who took the time out of their busy day to spend a little bit of time with me!!

You know I'm bananas for all your pink trees and houses, Debbie! They're so pretty. I love that you have tributes to your Dad around the house and how he inspired your love for Christmas. Your home is always so festive and fun so I know he must have been a great guy. Loved seeing you Mom on the tree too! Hug, CoCo
ReplyDeleteI am a pink person and I love every inch of your craft room! I can't even pick a favorite although your room box from Angela is pretty darn special!!! I can't wait to see what crafts you come up with with your supplies.
ReplyDeleteI know you love to decorate, and it shows! What a lovely photo of you and your Dad!
ReplyDeleteI love the pink theme of your craft room - it must have taken you a while to get all those pieces as you don't often see pink Christmas decorations!
ReplyDeleteit's sweet your Dad shared your love of decorating too! I think I get it from my mum. we don't decorate any other time of year, but we go all out for Christmas! I just have the 3 trees though, although I'm always wanting to buy another one and hubby just laughs! :) He indulges me now and then though!
Hope that your week is going well and you have a nice weekend planned ahead :)
Oh, that little glittery house iss so pretty! And I loved seeing the photos of your dad and learning about him. I can see that you are the apple that didn't fall far from the tree!
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful, Debbie, and the trees are fabulous. Love those paper houses! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving week!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your memories of your dad and decorating with him! Your craft room looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteso pretty! I love Victorian pink for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet tribute to your dad! Happy heavenly birthday to him!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving!
Hugs,
Debbie
Love the teapot photo frames. I;m just getting started on decorating. The decorations your Dad made are really special.
ReplyDeleteLoved seeing all your festive decor and pretty pinks, Debbie. Thanks for sharing at Vintage Charm!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Debbie! I absolutely loved reading about your Dad! I was a Daddy's girl and we did so much together just the two of us. He was a salesman but he did window displays as well. He was such a talented artist. I loved reading about all the things your Dad made. What a craftsman he was! Now I no longer have to wonder where you got your own incredible talent! The rooms you've showed us so far are just stunning as usual. What you do each season is such a wonderful gift to your family. They will remember these things just as you do with your Dad. Thanks so much for sharing your stories and your lovely home with all of us. I wish you and your family a blessed Thanksgiving Day!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful memories of your dad and what beautiful memories you're making for others, Debbie. My dad loved Christmas so much, too. He would always make it special, and he was like a big kid. He had some sleigh bells, and he would ring them from another room, late on Christmas Eve, so that we knew we had to sleep because Santa was on his way. I love the colors of the craft room. The pops of bright pink from those little bottle brush trees make me happy, so cute!
ReplyDeleteDebbie, a visit to your house at Christmastime always inspires me to get going with my own decorating! Your joy is just contagious, and I am grateful for it. But this post was just the best--I LOVED reading about your dad. It's obvious that you and he had a special bond, and I think it's awesome that you're able to enjoy your decorating and honor his memory at the same time. You are a treasure, and what a treasure trove of decor your craft room is!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for joining the Grace at Home party at Imparting Grace. I'm featuring you this week!
