A LITTLE BIT OF DECORATING

This time of year, I am always in wonderment.  I use to love to decorate the whole house, and then I had big homes.  Now I have a small home and can hardly keep up. I've downsized when moving here, BUT still have too much. And this house doesn't have the nook and crannies or wall space I once had. So I always seem to be at a dead end. Nothing looks just right.

I have a few small trees that I leave decorated and just store that way in the storage area, so I don't have to redecorate them, just bring them up to a cleared space. I've decided not to put up my BIG tree. I've 3 rubbermaids of collectible ornaments and I doubt that anyone will be here and it's just a lot of work for me to be the only one to enjoy it.

This is a spare bedroom and I leave this up all year. It is decorated in pinks, pearls, hearts and clear glass ornaments. I truly think it is my favorite.

This is a hanging tree. I bought it when my hubby and I were dating. If you can imagine, he never decorated and I couldn't believe anyone would have at least ONE tree in their home for the holidays. So I put it up while he was away and decorated it with JOHN DEERE ornaments and Tractor lights.  He liked it so now each year it's by our dining table.  Makes a good night light when the grandkids come too.

This is a grapevine tree a friend of mine made years ago, It's in our TV room and I redo it with the seasons changes. This year I used part of the decorations from a Big tree I did years ago. It's so sparkly pretty in the evening.

This is another year round tree in our family room. I have yet to add the Santa's to it for this year.

This little Snowman tree has a timer on it and sets in our bedroom, we awake to twinkly little lights.

This is another year round tree, totally Red/White/Blue decor. It sets in my Raggedy Ann laundry room. It is sort or a Charlie Brown tree, odd shaped, and sits in an old wire egg basket with 3 big rocks to hold it in place.

The top of a bookcase going from the family room up into the laundry room I love the little primitive Angel and Santa. My old wooden blocks give the names of my 5 grand children. This also stays up all year.

Thanks for stopping by, hope you enjoyed some of my decor for the holiday season.  I will share a hanging tree decorated with very old angels and a few more tidbits by Friday.  Enjoy a festive day.
