    Christmas home tour 2012

    It's hard to believe that Christmas is a week away. All the decorations are up so I thought I'd take you on a little tour of our home.

    First, I'll show you the decorations outside.

    This is our outdoor tree.

    This wreath looks really pretty when it's lit at night.

    Our snowman is new this year. We found him at the auction a few weeks ago.

    But this snowman is really old. It belonged to my in-laws and they used it many years.

    Come on. Let's follow Juicy onto the front porch.

    This cute chalkboard on a silver tray was made by my Secret Blogging Santa, Patty. I love the chalkboard, Patty, and I've enjoyed getting to know you through the Secret Santa gift exchange!

    Even the pot stand on our deck got a little Christmas touch!

    I hope you enjoyed your tour of our home.  I'm going to be very busy cooking and baking the next few days. We're hosting my mother's 90th birthday on Saturday and our family's annual Christmas Eve Party next Monday. Whew! Can I get it all done before Santa arrives?

      Jane,
      You have done a beautiful job decking your halls this year. It's hard to pick my favorite...maybe it's that darling tree on the porch. Hope you all enjoy your mom's birthday party...my mom's 85th party will be held on the 29th. Merry Christmas to you and Leo.

      Blessings,
      Linda

      So gorgeous! The front is especially charming and let's you know you're in for a treat when you step through the door! Now why didn't I think to lay my glass block down and use it as a display??? Love it!
