Christmas is my favorite time of the year.  It

means enjoying our family and friends, but 

most of all it means celebrating the birth of our

Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  It means preparing

our hearts and our home for all of the upcoming

celebrating. 

 I have been busy decking the halls of many

 homes and transforming them into winter 

wonderlands.  I wanted to share some of the

Christmas cheer with you.  Hope you enjoy.  

This tree has a snowman theme woven into

this slim tree.  The snowman head seems 

right at home peeking from beneath the branches.

Many other snowmen were used to 

continue our frosty theme.  

 A custom tree skirt was added this year in
a harlequin pattern complete with monogram.  

The mantle was adorned with two dancing reindeer 
and painted presents peeking from the garland.

 The angle on this shot is challenging, but this
is the bannister, complete with grapevine
reindeer to greet you when you enter the 
front door.  Excuse the cord, we hid this 
later.  ;-)

 This tree has a natural look and has a woodland
theme.  I used burlap ribbon, galvanized
buckets, woodland creatures, mercury glass,
acorns and snow covered sticks.  

Little bear feels right at home nestled in
the middle of the branches.   

Mr. Owl keeps watch on the bottom branches.
  He is watching and waiting for Santa.   

I kept the sideboard simple with simple pines. 
The sideboard and antique window mirror is
so pretty, simple is the best choice here.  

The kitchen table was adorned with moss
covered reindeer, complete with burlap bows.

 The silver accents look amazing on this
mirrored coffee table.  Simple and sophisticated.  

 Robin egg blue and mercury glass on this
tree accent the decor in this living room.  

 Love the mix of pearl, mercury glass
and icy blue.  

 Hydrangeas and pine were placed in pearl
cones that were placed in the tree to give
it three dimension.

A bowl full of ornaments is a simple way
to add sparkle.  

  The dining table is kept simple by using
existing lanterns and adding mini ornaments around
 candles.  A ribbon was tied to add a festive touch.   

And the best gift of Christmas is to enjoy
this new little bundle of joy.  My newest
grandson, Stryker Cannon Smalley.  He
is definitely ready for Christmas and is
patiently waiting on Santa.

Enjoy decorating your homes this year and
remember to enjoy and cherish every moment
with your family and friends.  May God bless
you.
