A DEBBIE-DABBLE CHRISTMAS

Christmas Fairy Land, 2016

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

If you have visited my regular Blog, Debbie-Dabble Blog, you may remember my Gnome and Fairy Gardens that I shared in the Summer......

In preparing and cleaning up the yard for the Winter, I took apart these gardens, cleaned up all the pieces, which was easy because I had sprayed them with a Sealant in the Spring before putting them outside and got ready to pack them away....

And then Joe called me and told me that they had Christmas Fairies and Elves at Big Lot's!!!!

Now they are offering 2 Christmas Fairy Sets....

They are $20 a set and I am sure they will be on sale soon but I did not want to buy a whole set when I already had several houses.

I did use a Rewards coupon and bought several Christmas Fairies and Elves.....

HERE is a link to their Christmas Fairy Items.......

I gathered together all of my Fairy Houses......

And decided to add a little "Snow" to them........

I cut pieces of "Snow" out of a white felt like Christmas tree skirt......

And taped them using surgical tape......

To the tops of the pieces......

I then applied some silver and white glitter to the pieces of "Snow".....

Then I checked my craft stash and I found some small bottle brush wreaths and trees......

I then used a sticky product that I have and use for my Doll House items, to apply them to the houses....

I can then take the wreaths off at the end of the season and simply wipe the sticky stuff off.....

I did see that Michaels now carries this product and sells it where their display of the Lemax Christmas Village is in their stores.....

I think I did a decent job of making my Fairy Houses look a bit Christmasy!!

I decided to create my Christmas Fairy Village under the Tree in the my upstairs Sitting Room.....

Yes, my entire upstairs is completely decorated for Christmas already.....

I didn't get really fancy and simply laid out the village on top of the tree skirt.....

I added some Christmas bottle brush trees......

I added greenery and a wreath to the arch......

The bottle brush tree with the ornaments was bought at Michaels.....

Don't you just love those Christmas Fairies and Elves.....

This bottle brush tree belonged to one of my neighbor's....

And that is my Christmas Fairy Village!!!

I added a strand of battery operated LED lights to light it up a bit.......

I am glad I will be able to enjoy my Village during the Christmas season.......

In my next post, I will be sharing the little changes that I made to our outside decorations in the front of the house.......

So I hope you will come by and visit again!!

And thanks to those who took the time out of their busy day to spend a little bit of time with me!!

More New Christmas Buys!!

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

I have been scouting out the stores to see what they are offering for Christmas this Season and even though I truly do not need any more Christmas decorations, I do like seeing what is out there and what I can pick up to inexpensively change up my existing decorations.......

This is my haul from 2 weeks ago......

From The Dollar Tree....

Silver and Gold Glittered Branches.....

These I hope to use on an Angel project....

Gold glittered reindeer......

Bought the last 2 of these!!

Christmas greenery and a cute sign.....

Love this sign....

More Christmas greenery.....

Gold Poinsettias

Next up is what I bought at Big Lot's....

Gold Sleds.....

These Christmas Fairies and Elves were only $3.00 each and I did have a Rewards Coupon so they were actually cheaper!!

In my next post, I will be sharing my Christmas Fairy Village!!

I had a coupon for $5.00 off $15.00 at Bed, Bath and Beyond so I bought these 2 hand towels for the Powder Room....

I bought these things at Target......

The wooden "B" has been used in a project which I will be showing you soon.....

2 aqua and one gold bottle brush tree at $3.00 each!!!

These wooden leaves were 90% off at Target after Halloween.....30 cents pack!!

I will make them into ornaments for my Fall Tree to use next year....

This week, I bought these items at yet another Dollar Tree

2 cute signs that I will use as Winter decorations and the white churches will mostly like make an appearance in my Dining Room for Christmas....

The snow tipped pine cones will be used outside and I am sure I can find a use for the gold glittered ones.....

Love these gold glittered tea lights!!

Money cards...8 for a Buck!!

Definitely, not all Dollar Tree stores are created equal because I have been to 3 different stores and they all carried some different things that the others did not have!!

I hoped you liked seeing what I bought.....

Soon I will be showing you what I did with all of it......

Joe and I have been working on decorating the front of our house since we have had some unseasonably warm temps. here in NEPA......

I have made a few changes to several things and I will be sharing that soon but up next, I will be sharing my Christmas Fairy Village!!!!

So I hope you will come by and visit again!!

And thanks to those who took the time out of their busy day to spend a little bit of time with me!!
