New doormat for the New Year. The Bad Dog one was worn out and had to go. I had hoped to replace it but they don't have it for sale anymore. At least Santa won't have to be out all year. 


Happy New Year!

All done for this year- not quite how I thought it would all go but when does it ever go the way you think? Until next time!

Look what Angela made me! The deer is sparkly but it didn't come across in the picture. I love it. I probably need another one.. :)

Went to visit the family in Nebraska. They won the lighting competition again this year. The outbuildings are lit up also, but I didn't get them in the picture.

Haven't been to the ARC in a while due to unpacking and whatnot. Made it there today and I found these adorable angels. They are homemade and they are made around dishsoap bottles. I love them!

I've been arranging the ceramic trees in the same way every year and I thought I would rearrange them differently. I like this line-up!

The mantel- I figured out I could hang the banner on the stocking holders too.

I forgot about these- last month I found them at the ARC. I'm going to use them on the aluminum tree but I didn't put it up this year. I'll be ready next year.

Shelves up! Couldn't find my white tablecloth that I usually have under the ceramic trees so I'm using this green one.

Found a half globe on eBay. It'll do for now but I may get a full globe.

 Trying out the big lightbulb in it. Looks cool but I don't think that's the way to go. 

Otherwise we are busy moving all the rest of the stuff in, we have 4 days until snow comes!

 The painters were finishing up and moving their ladder out and it hit the hall light. Bummer- glass broken. I had been wondering if it was the original glass and it definitely was. I found this catalog page featuring it and the flush mounts also- I bet those were previously in the hall. ANYWAY I'm sure there is no chance of finding replacement glass so I will have to try something else. The painter guy felt so bad (and did reimburse us for it). Lesson learned though- take things like this down if work is being done!

Pretty sunsets going on at this house - it's nice to be able to see the mountains instead of being on the side of it.

Happy Thanksgiving! Lions won - but boy was it a close one. Chicago should have won it but, the apparently forgot that the clock needed to be watched!
