christmas home tour~

I am finally getting around to getting my decorating done.  Even though i simplified this year, it seems it has taken me just as long as it does when I go "all out" with my decorating. 

I have been busy with etsy orders, which makes me super duper happy! :)  We have had alot going on here in our household, lots of changes, but I will fill you in on that later; they are good, kind of!  I would have loved to get alot more Christmas designs in the etsy store but I ran out of time; you know how that goes!

I just can't believe how this month or this year for that matter has flown by, Christmas is almost here! I hope you are all ready! I have visited lots of blogs, the homes and decor are beautiful! I am usually running clear till the very minute before my family arrives on Christmas Eve, fixing things and rearranging things, cooking and cleaning!

Here is a look into my home this year, come on in......

This is the entry into the mud room.  I am still hoping to get a picture gallery on the wall soon, it's a work in progress, but for now, I just have a few of my favs on the ledge.

This is a little metal bucket I found "junking" and filled it with fresh greens and cuts from my dogwood bush; added a few red christmas balls.

sleepy dog.....see her new christmas collar from Anna they are always the cutest! Okay, back to the tour.

My Mom and Dad's graduation pictures, they don't normally stay up at Christmas time, usually the buffet is all decorated for Christmas, but this year....keeping it simple. :)

The tree at night.

Beka's tree.

I collect snowmen and this is one of my favorites.  He changes color and has a little motor in him that swirls glitter around like a snowglobe; he is fun to watch!

I hope you enjoyed the tour. Have a nice rest of the weekend; this coming week will be a whirlwind for me!

goings on and a christmas peek~

Hi all, I hope you haven't forgotten me! I have been busy, but nothing really to show for it; you know how that goes! It's my birthday today.....they seem to come faster and faster! So, I am off today, trying to get somethings done around here.  Hoping I get to go out for supper; who wants to cook on their birthday, right!

It's begining to look a little Christmasey(is that a word?) around here. I am trying to simplify this year and not put out so much; so we will see. 

I am also working on some Christmas pillows for my etsy shop and will continue to add some more!

We had our first snow this last weekend; 6 1/2 inches to be exact! Guess who loved it? We couldn't keep her in the house on Saturday; she was just like a kid running and playing in the snow! 

I hope not be be a stranger around here, I have lots more Christmas decor to show you!

Take care....Jodi
