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 the Stores: Michael's

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

I went to Michael's the other day. I had stayed away for some time , trying to be good.
 When I walked in, I stood there speechless.
They had totally re-arranged the entire store and flipped everything from one side of the side to the store!!
It looks nice but it will take me awhile to get used to the new look.
Anyway, Michael's is loaded with Christmas merchandise so I thought I would share ,with all of you, what Micheal's has to offer for the Holidays this year.
I am doing this independently , I am not getting any type of reimbursement from Micheal's and I hope to share Christmas merchandise from other stores with all of you in the future.......
As you can see, I am letting the pictures do the talking......
Enjoy all this Christmas Beauty!!
I do hope they get in more of the white wreaths and branches.....
 Well, Will you be heading to Michael's for some of these Christmas Goodies?????

I sure will be......

I hope to start my Christmas decorating this week but because of our Remodel and of Co Chairing our church Craft Fair and Specialty Basket Raffle the end of November, I can not promise that I will be able to decorate my upstairs this year.

Just too much going on all at one time and remember that I work full time night shift!

So I am going to focus on the downstairs and see how far I get if I get to the upstairs......

It's Rudolph Day and Wanna See What I Bought?????

If you are linking over here from Debbie-Dabble,  SURPRISE!!

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

Soon I will be doing most of my posting over here for the upcoming Christmas Season and I wanted to show you some Christmas items that I recently bought and being that it is Rudolph Day  ( the 25th of the month), I thought I would continue my series (from over on Debbie-Dabble) , Wanna See What I Bought ?????
over here today to either acquaint or re-acquaint you all with my Christmas Blog!!

I recently went to the Thrift Shop, Volunteer's of America , and seemed to come home with all Christmas goodies!!

Well, actually, these copper shatterproof ornaments will be used next Autumn on my Autumn Tree that I will have in my Living Room.  They were half the price of $1.31 a bag!!!
And this container of smaller ivory, copper and gold shatterproof ornaments was only 60 cents!!
Loved this Candy House Cookie Jar!!
It was half of $2.92!!
It will be perfect on the Kitchen!!
And look at this set.......

The cups came out to 45 cents each!!
And the tea pot was $1.50!!!
Joe picked this up for me at a newly opened Liquidation Center by us......
It is battery operated and it lights up ( LED lights) , plays music and the little tree spins around slowly!!
All for just $12.00!!
My neighbor's family is cleaning our her home as she can no longer live alone and what they don't want, we take up to our church Flea Market or I can have.

I now have 2 of these fantastic Vintage boxes!!!
And look what was in those boxes!!!!!!
One pair of Boy's size 10 skates and one pair of Boy's size 13 skates!!!

So Cute!!!!
And also these sweet little pillows.....
Love them!!


I will be making a donation to our Flea Market for what I keep from my neighbor's things.....

Then I went to the Dollar Tree the other day and they were just putting out Christmas things......

These were from their Mini Village but you can use these great green sparkle trees for crafting and anything!!
2 in a pack for a buck!! Can't beat that!!!
And I will use the little ponds for my Village that I set up under the LR tree.......
The Pots will most likely be used around my Doll House ......

and these will also be used for my Village.....
And look at these ornaments!!

You can fill them and use them for Tussie Mussies!!
Or stand them up and use them for Trees!!
And Gold Stars to match!!
Add these to wreaths or garland for an elegant look!!
And I am planning to change some things around a bit in the front of the house this Christmas season so I bought several of these natural greenery looking bushes......
I will probably be adding these to some real greenery......
And we also got our tickets to see Trans Siberian Orchestra!!!

This has become our Christmas tradition and we will be attending the 4:00 pm show on December 6th at the Mohegan Sun Arena which is about 5  minutes from our home!!

Please click on to see the Promo for this year's Tour of TSO!!!






I hope to see you back here at A Debbie-Dabble Christmas soon as I plan to start my Christmas Decorating soon.....

Happy Rudolph Day!!


Yes, I am still alive but living over at Debbie-Dabble!!

This year, it seems that I have too much going on to keep both blogs going at the same time......

But I have been buying some Christmas goodies like these at Yard Sales.....




To read more about my yard sale finds, please click HERE

And I bought these at our church Flea Market.......



To read more about these and more Flea Market finds, please click HERE

We will be going through a major remodel at the end of September where we will be replacing the carpeting and flooring downstairs with Pergo Max wood laminate floors in the LR, DR, Kitchen and Hallway and a Slate/tile look laminate in the Powder Room. We are also getting new countertops and sink in the Kitchen!

Because of this, I will not be doing my usual Fall and Halloween decorating but I will get an early start on my Christmas decorating!!   The house will have a whole different look as we are doing some painting too so Christmas at our Home will have a different feel this year as compared to other years.....

We have already re-done our Powder Room by painting it, adding a new wall paper border and a new medicine cabinet and light fixture and I will still be decorating it with my Snow Buddies but I think it will have a nicer look with all the blue and white since it is now painted gray.......
 

So there will be a lot of changes for Christmas this year......

And I hope you will stop by to visit and see them when I start to post on this Blog regularly starting on November!!

Hugs,
Deb
