I'm decorated!

Thanks again for all of your sweet comments, I really appreciate them!! I just finished my house today. I have collected lots of Christmas things over the years working at the interior shop, and shopping at Hobby Lobby and other places. I love Christmas! I decorate with a little bit of everything. I like santas, presents, snowmen, etc. I have a gold tree with angels and crosses in the computer/ T.V. room. The little tree in the kitchen is done in gingerbread men, my main tree is in the dining room.





I'll post more pics soon, I took these at night and I don't have the best camera. Thanks for coming by!

    You sure got me more in the mood to really get started on ours. I'll start Thanksgiving night with the grandson.. I start in the shop the end of August but I just can't seem to bring myself to mix the seasons in our home.. I especially like the presents...I'm going to be on the look out for some of those.. looking forward to some of your great designs..hugs ~lynne~

    Oh Kristen your home looks stunning!! You did an awesome job! Love those Raz Christmas Presents on your mantle!! I couldn't get a shipment from Raz this late so had to go raid Hobby Lobby and actually found some large ornaments at wally world for cheap! I'll be decorating my home this coming sunday after our company leave.
