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.....
As always, click on each picture if you would like to enlarge it....
Today I will be sharing how I decorated the Craft Room for Christmas....
In my last post, I shared my decorations in the upstairs hallway....
Click HERE if you missed that post!!
Since we both could only eat half of this for our Meal of the Day, we got 2 day's worth of dinners out of this one!!!
And after sharing all that food, here is what I looked like when I went shopping last Saturday....
Down 32 pounds now since June 1st....

As I mentioned before, I am no longer "hiding" and not letting anyone take my picture like I did for many years...
If I can get down to 35 pounds lost by the end of November and then not gain any weight in the month of December, I will be very happy!!!
Time will tell....
Decorating Update:
The entire upstairs was done by October 31st along with the Den downstairs....
I also got the outside and the Powder Room finished....
I packed up Fall in the Living Room and Halloween in the Dining Room and will be working on the Living Room which usually takes me at least 5 days.....
So far so good and right on schedule to be completely finished by Thanksgiving Day so i can then sit back, relax and enjoy the Christmas season!!!
As I mentioned in previous posts, I hang wreaths on all of the inside doors, reflecting the color theme of the room and Christmas decorations....
This is the wreath that I made for the Craft Room door....

The vintage lamp was one of 2 that were my Mother's......
I embellished the shade.....
A Dollar Tree house that I painted pink and a putz house bought at Joann Fabric's years ago.....

I bought the pretty pink angel from a fellow vendor at our church's Craft Fair....
The Santa is from Home Interiors....
The sweet pink and green figurines with the bunny and deer were gifted to me by my friend Anne Marie....
The pink and green Santa's were bought at a church flea market for 25 cents each many years ago!
This is a Victorian feather style Tree....
I draped pink and green beaded garland that I cut in pieces to mimic icicles....
The green house is an ornament and another painted Dollar Tree house....
In the evening....
The chandy that I created which hangs over my work table....
This was how I decorated it this Summer.....
Click HERE if you want to read about how I decorated this Tree for the Summer with ice cream cones, cupcakes, popsicles, birds, tea cups and butterflies!!
And I even made some of my own ice cream cones which can easily be made for Christmas decorating too!
Or you can create Christmas cupcakes which I may be looking into making....
I stripped the Tree down to the lights and garlands....
I topped it with white feathers, an Angel and a pink and white stripped ribbon bow....
The streamers are sewing ribbon that I had in my stash!!
I started decorating it with pink ornaments...
And I added some of my Special ornaments....
These picture frame tea pot ornaments, that I bought on EBay years ago, always grace this Tree...
My Dad and Joey...
The last picture taken of my mom before she passed away...
And My Dad with Jimmy....
This spider ornament also graces the Tree year round....
It was gifted to me by my friend Anne Marie....
I love this!!
And this angel hair ornament is one that my mother bought for me when I was very young....
More ornaments....
I made these out of the boxes you get when you buy jewelry!
Christmas figures....
I am just going to let the pictures do the talking...
And a pair of friends sit on this bench year round!!
I made the tree skirt.......
Hanging on the wall next to the Tree....
I took these pictures yesterday morning with the Sun shining on the Tree with no lights turned on!!
The shelving on the wall in the corner.....

The beautiful mini room box of my Craft Room that my dear FB friend Angela Leigh crafted for me!!
I will treasure this forever!!
Below the shelves....
Another small Tree decorated in pink and green.....
On top of a shelf unit....

The other one is used in my Dining Room with my Nativity Set ......

On a shelf by my sewing machine table.....
Is a frame that I bought at a church Flea Market....
"Friendly and full of love, December's child is a gift from above"
Both my sons were born in December!!
And after 2 years of what I call my "Screaming Meamie" Santa pictures, I gave up on having their picture taken with Santa!!!
Near the door....
A vintage milk glass hurricane lamp that was my neighbor Ellie's....
And that completes the Tour of my Craft Room for this Christmas.....
It took 2 Days to decorate this room.....
Tree Count
Tree # 5
On SATURDAY, I will be taking a break from my Christmas Home Tour and sharing some crafts...
And a few new Buys....
Stay safe, healthy and most of all, HAPPY!!

Wow Debbie, that is fantastic you lost that weight. Your craft room looks lovely for Christmas, and those are 'tea'riffic teapot photo frames.
ReplyDeleteHi Deb: I love the story of the Christmas spider. I had never heard it. I am thinking I might add tinsel to my tree this year. I never used tinsel because the kids didn't like it. I do and my Mom did and we usually had it on our tree each year, one strand at a time!! That is probably why my kids didn't like it because I followed my mother's orders! You are looking very beautiful. You really did lose the weight. Everything Christmas looks so pretty so far..Happy Thursday..xxoJudy
ReplyDeleteI just love pink and green together. It was fun to see my old favorites, especially the sheet music wreath. You really do look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI can't just pick one thing that I like because I love it all! Your craft room looks amazing all decorated for Christmas and I love the colors! Congrats on the weight loss, too! Your lookin wonderful and I bet you feel so much better! Looking forward to seeing your Christmas crafts! I spied some gingerbread in your pictures and can't wait to see what you do with them! TFS and have a wonderful day! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie I love pink and green for Christmas! xo laura in Colorado
ReplyDeleteEverything is so pretty! Love the pink-green color combo! Thank you for sharing at The Really Crafty Link Party, and have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love the different color combinations in your Christmas decor! It's refreshing to see not all red-and-green decorations for Christmas. I love the pink/lavender/green/ and gold decorations. Thank you for sharing this post in the Talent-Sharing Tuesdays Link-Up 42.
