Decorating More and More

Good Evening Everyone,

First of all, thank you so much for your

care and concern about my car accident

and your comments about my decorating.

  Thank goodness it has not left me too sore

 and stiff because there is no time to waste.

Is everyone as frazzled as I am?  I have been

decorating all afternoon like a crazy person, but 

I am beginning to see the end.  I cut a whole

bunch of magnolia yesterday and will do some

pine and holly tomorrow after things dry out

a bit.  It has been raining for about twenty four

hours.  I'm not going to complain about that.

I feel so sorry for those who are suffering

with the blizzard conditions.  

This evening I hope to wrap a few presents, 

address a few Christmas cards, and begin 

prepping for my Christmas luncheon on 

Wednesday.  I've been hosting this

employee/friend luncheon for years and

I enjoy it so much.  For some reason though,

I just cannot make up my mind about the

food.  A real problem  - don't you agree.

I'll let you know what I decide.

Here are a few more pictures of the

marathon decorating.

My Charlie Brown tree in the kitchen. 
The rocking chair was my husband's.
Appropriately painted a Christmas red.

Living room.

Breakfast room. 

Dining room.
Many of the toys are ones that belonged
to me and my husband.  
Many of the other toys are antiques I
have collected.

The guitar was mine.  Can you believe
that.  No musical talent here! 

The glass ornaments in the bowl belonged to
my husband's parents.  We used to put them on
our tree.  Unfortunately, our tree fell years ago
and we lost many of them.  Now they are 
displayed in a safe place, I hope.

More to come.  I hope to put up our real tree
tomorrow.  I want it up before my
luncheon.  Have a good evening.  On to the
Christmas cards.
Merry Stitches,
Sandra
