Please fill me in when you can.<br /><br />I love white and blue.

Instead it looks very warm and inviting. Beautiful as always!<br /><br />I don't really have a theme anymore. I used to do a lot more but this year I just can't get into the festive feeling. The hubs decorated outside with a bunch of stuff and he'll probably put up the tree. Mom's situation is going downhill faster than she or I thought, so I'm a bit in limbo about what our plans will be over the next couple of weeks. I'll keep you updated as I know more this weekend. <br /><br />As for colors, I'm kind of digging the white/blue light combination we did last year. Typically we do the multi lights inside, but we've changed it up a couple of times and I've liked it. dalbador1https://www.blogger.com/profile/09877799102438622117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-65008539253869707502014-12-04T12:48:11.299-05:002014-12-04T12:48:11.299-05:00That made me smile! :-D Good on ya!
Yep, we'...That made me smile! :-D Good on ya!<br /><br />Yep, we're keeping the skis up through February or March, depending. I'll have to think on what I want up through the winter but I like decorating with natural stuff so I'll have to see what can double from Christmas woodland collections I've been seeing!<br /><br />That sounds pretty!Anele @ Success Along the Weighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03986921867517926199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-45328626907726786182014-12-04T12:39:55.946-05:002014-12-04T12:39:55.946-05:00Oh so cute!

I don't want to say goodbye to my fall decor, but now, like you, I can store it away and have it for next year! I'm totally a grown up now with a decorations box and everything! LOL<br /><br />I think I'm going to go for a Winterscape more so than a Christmas one. That way I can keep the decor up through Feb.

I was happy with the way the skis turned out for sure. It's a little unexpected but totally fits us. Vintage for me, skiing for him! <br /><br />Aww, how fun! I love that you have that and sentimental stuff like that is a good thing!

I have three huge stuffed Christmas animals that are cute but I have no room for them so I think they're going to a better home at the end of the season. I could use the bin room too! :-) <br /><br />Oh bless you for calling it flair. It's somethin'!

LOVE it ALL!! You are a master. Such great ideas. LOVE the skis--so cool! We have a ceramic Christmas tree music box that my mom's aunt made with the same bulbs in it as yours. We just ordered some new little bulbs to replace the ones that have fallen out over the years.

I have ornaments I save from year to year but never actually display. I have decorations people have made for me over the years as well as things I've purchased. I wish I had your flair for decorating.DebbieShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10858139788709675770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-34456202856699364352014-12-04T09:10:10.377-05:002014-12-04T09:10:10.377-05:00Hey girl!

I lost all of mine in a flood in our apartment when I was in elementary school. Otherwise I would definitely have mish mash as well. Congrats on the pickle ornament. Did you hide it yet or is it Cmas eve that you do that? Hide the pickle...sounds dirty. As much as I love Christmas, I'd be afraid that it would ruin me for Christmas Like how people work in restaurants and don't want burgers anymore. Eureka! I should work at a donut shop!<br /><br />Sorry you had trouble posting, glad you got through!Anele @ Success Along the Weighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03986921867517926199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-85438965905395921892014-12-04T09:07:34.136-05:002014-12-04T09:07:34.136-05:00I love it, Anele!

I have ornaments my folks have brought back from their travels and ones my grandma made. I also now am starting to have ornaments my son has made. In high school and college I spent 4 seasons working at a Christmas store (such a great job, but that may have ruined me for my own Christmas decorations) where we had theme trees and as beautiful as they were, they just didn't call to me the way a tree full of unmatched but much loved and sometimes slightly battered ornaments does.<br /><br />One thing I did pick up for this year is a pickle ornament. I've wanted one for years and <br /><br />PS - i had trouble posting, so if I posted this like a million times I apologize.another layerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15756727485274694135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-71806482558181588812014-12-04T07:44:17.264-05:002014-12-04T07:44:17.264-05:00Yeah I'm sure with the various projects cloggi...Yeah I'm sure with the various projects clogging our precious space you were wondering what kind of Christmas voodoo I was working! :-) There are some things I will probably tweak either this year or going into next year but overall, I'm happy with what was supposed to be 'transitional' decor this year!

Well you did it again girl. It is classy and wonderful. You really made the place look great with a perfect mix of "new" decorations along with our usual ones and I love the way it has all turned out. Now if we can just slow down the season enough to really soak it all in!The Mr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04233628447251244134noreply@blogger.com
