I Will Honour Christmas In My Heart

I will honour Christmas in my heart,
and try to keep it all the year.
I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future.
The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me.
I will not shut out the lessons that they teach!

Christmas in my Craft Room & More Tree Recycling, August Rudolph Day, 2026

 

  

 

 

 

  

 

 Welcome to my Christmas Blog, A Debbie-Dabble Christmas!!

 I am so happy you decided to stop by my Christmas Blog!!

  Every room in our townhouse has a different Christmas Theme and Color Scheme!!
 
 I prove that you do not have to live in a large home to have several Trees, over 20, in all shapes and sizes!!

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 post 3 TIMES A WEEK on MONDAY, THURSDAY AND SATURDAYS.....
 
 As always, click on each picture if you would like to enlarge it....

  And now for a few Personal Notes...
 
 
 For the New Year, I am trying something different with my 3 times weekly posts.... 
 
On THURSDAYS, I will feature what I cooked and ate during the week, showcasing local cuisine and a few recipes for things that I actually made...
 
  
  
I decided that on SATURDAYS, I will showcase What I Have Been Up To in the past week, sharing events and places I went to, if any.... 
  

 
On MONDAYS, I will be featuring What I Have Bought or Been Gifted Recently, if anything... 
 
 
 
 I haven't bought anything new this week so I have nothing to share and will move right along....
 
 
HAPPY RUDOLPH DAY!!!!!

  Rudolph Day is celebrated the 25th of each month......
 
 
 
Most will share something to do with Christmas on Rudolph Day....
 
 
 
 
Yes, you read the title of this post right!!
 
Christmas in my Craft Room!!
 
NO!  I am NOT crazy!! 
 
I will get to that in a minute but first I want to show you what I was able to finally do with the bottom half of this flocked Tree....
 
 
 
In my last Rudolph Day post in July, I shared how I decided to use the top half of a 6 foot Tree as a table top Tree in the Sitting Room.....
 
 
 
 On You Tube, I found a video about pulling out the pin on the hinges to remove the branch but for the life of me, I could not pull that darn pin out.....
 
So I got out some of my handy dandy tools.... 
 
 
 
 I was able to bend the hook and pull the branches out of the hinge..... 
 
 
 
 Some longer ones......


Shorter ones.....

 
I will most likely use these outside in the pots on the front porch and in the front yard and maybe tuck some into the evergreen garland that I use on the railing and around the front door......

I was going to also share what my Sitting Room closet looks like now that it is reorganized and I can store 2 Trees in it, but I am going to wait to share that until I share how I also reorganized the Craft Room closet.....
 
 
 
Now on to Christmas in my Craft Room!!
 
For almost 2 weeks, I diligently went through ALL, and I do mean ALL, my craft supplies, deciding what I was keeping, deciding who or where I was passing things on to and then reorganize my entire Craft Room.... 
 
After cleaning it.....
 
It was a daunting task but it had to be done....
 
 After all was said and done, I was also able to remove one of the shelf units and rearrange furniture in part of the room....
 
 This is the shelf unit that I was able to remove.....
 
 
 
 I now had to find somewhere else to display all of this...
 
So this is why I am now posting how my Craft Room is decorated for Christmas because instead of packing everything away, I decided to just re-decorate the room for Christmas.....

I will be sharing what I did in the Craft Room in my next few posts, which is why I wanted to share the Christmas decorations first.....
 
So this will actually be my first post in my 2026 Christmas Home Tour....
 
 
 A wreath I made many years ago hangs on the door..... 
 
 
 
I am going to start here on the left side of the room, on top of this shelf unit......
 

A sneak peek of what the shelf unit now looks like with everything reorganized and labeled.....


 Back to the top of it..... 
 

 This is what it looked like last year.....
 
 
 
  A Guardian Angel wind chime hangs from the ceiling.....
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

I moved these pink houses and church over here..... 
 

 
  

 
   
 
  You can see I am staying with the pink and sage green color theme of the room..... 
 



 
 
I did leave the Tree in the same spot....



 








I left this chandy as is.....



The 6 foot slim Tree is still decorated.....


To the left of it.....



My late friend Anne Marie gifted me this spider, which I have on the Tree.....
 
 
 
It came with this card which I placed the card in the planter.... 




The Tree is the same so I will not spend a lot of time on it...
 
 





I always keep these 3 special ornaments on the Tree....


Pictures of my Dad with each of my sons and my Mom....


 
  
 
 
At the base of the Tree....
 
  
 
 

 Next to the Tree....
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 A wreath that I made..... 
 

  This is my late husband's Grandmother's antique Singer Sewing Machine..... 
 

 I had to find another display area for my Christmas decorations, so I removed all the vintage sewing items from the top of it that I had displayed here.....
 

 I hope to make a wreath using them and use some of them here again after I take down Christmas next year...
 
 I was then able to use the top of the sewing machine to display some of my Christmas decorations..... 
 

 
 
 A vintage lamp with a lamp shade that I embellished..... 
 
  
   
 
 
 

 

I placed the Angel I bought from a local craft vendor on top of a vintage pink Pyrex casserole.....



Notice the cone thread spools used as trees....


These sweet figurines were gifted to me by my late friend Anne Marie....
 


The cameo is the Madonna and Child.....


Along with another Madonna and Child....
 
 
See the white ceramic Madonna and Child????

 
 


I moved the white and pink house purchased in Cracker Barrel over here....


 
 

On the shelf above the sewing machine....


An Angel and a sweet little girl figurine holding a present.....
 
 

 
 
Pink wax bulbs in the 3 light candlelight that I embellished....
 

I did keep a few sewing items out......


 A thread spool tree.....
 
 
 
 

 Again, I used cone shaped thread spools as trees....
 


Hanging on the wall......




A tree is made out of wooden Ice Cream cup spoons and a few more Christmas items........ 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
This is what the furniture arrangement on this side of the room looked like before........
 

  You can see that I moved the table that my sewing machine is set up on over against the wall....
  
 
  
I also moved this table that was a flea market find.....
  

 Into this corner.... 
 
 
 
I did leave the drawer unit where it was..... 
 
 
On top of the drawer unit.....


I moved these nutcrackers over here....

 
 


On the vintage wall corner shelf that I painted pink......


A clay pot Angel I made.....
 
 

Vintage ceramics.....


 
On the top.....
 
 
 
  
  
 
 
 I simply added pink and green ornaments to the Tree in the corner...... 
 
 
  
 
  
 

  
 
 
 
 I hung a few ornaments.... 
 

I was able to move this vintage hamper, that I store all my fabric in, from here.... 
 

 Over to the area by the door... 
 
 
 
 
 
 On this shelf, is what I call my Screaming Meamie picture of both my sons.........
 
 
 
 
 
 

I placed this Angel on top of the hamper.....

 
 
 
 And that is my first room officially decorated for Christmas 2026....
 
I will start decorating the rest of the upstairs in October..... 
 

 I hope you will stop by to visit again for my next post on THURSDAY when I will be continuing the tour of my Craft Room now that I have reorganized and rearranged it.....
 
 Stay safe, healthy and most of all, HAPPY!! 
 
  And try to find JOY in every single day!
