| To help everyone get in the Christmas spirit, I decided to do a post with some of my past Christmas decor! I hope you enjoy it. Last year I used some "outdoor" trees on either side of the fireplace. Their lights put out a lot of Christmas "warmth" and allow ornaments to be individually showcased. |
 |
| Garlands are time consuming, so I like to start them early in the season.... |
 |
| If you are planning to paint a carousel horse or make a Santa chair...you don't want to wait until the last minute! |
 |
| At this time of year, I like to start planning the themes that I might use for the holidays. |
 |
| Sometimes it's hard to find just the right stocking, so you may want to make your own.... |
 |
| If you plan on making an ornament wreath, you will need about 100 ornaments. I try to get mine at yard sales for .10-.50. |
 |
| I had a angel theme in the sun room last year, so I will do something different this year. |
 |
| I had fun with this tablescape....Baby it's cold outside.... I draped fur coats on the chairs! |
 |
| I would love to make one of these beautiful tablecloths this year....I need to start early to finish before the holiday season starts! (and it seems to start earlier every year!) |
 |
| Our bedroom decorated for Christmas... |
 |
| You will want to collect ornaments of all sizes and shapes if you want to make one of these wreaths... |
 |
| For my woodsy tree, I found snow shoes..fishing poles..fish baskets, etc at the yard sales that are so plentiful in the summer months. Plus Christmas items are usually marked lower in the summer months... |

Your Christmas decor is beautiful. I completely understand the need for suppliers to stock Christmas in July. Time passes all too quickly for waiting too long. Happy Creative Hearts...
ReplyDeleteOh, that was a darling post, Penny. Loved seeing all the pretty decor. Love, love, love pink! And the little tea party was so darned cute, too! Nice job. Susan
ReplyDeleteYep- You have nailed Christmas in July, Penny! Christmas will be here before we know it!
ReplyDeletewow, super creative. love it.
ReplyDeletePenny,
ReplyDeleteNow you know that I love your Christmas decor!! I raeally love those outdoor trees used inside!
People around here get mad about the craft stores like Michael's and A.C.Moore having Christmas things out but what they do not realize is that the crafters are already starting to work on their Christmas Crafts to sell at the upcoming Holiday season Craft Shows....
Hugs,
Deb
I still think the wedding gown Christmas tree is my favorite, but I could look at the pictures for hours. Thank you!

Your ornament wreath caught my eye on Feathered Nest Friday. I have been wanting to make one of these for several years. I will be making one for Christmas 2013! Thanks for the inspiration.

Such amazing Christmas Decorations. I can't imagine how long it takes to do all this. Love the table decorations with the fur coats on the chairs. How clever!
ReplyDeleteWow! And Wow Again!! Such lovely layering on the mantles, tables and walls. The Christmas stockings are fabulous, and love the paper chain & pink frills too! -- this must take you quite a while to arrange. Well Done! Catherine
