After my last blog and showing all the Christmas decor, I thought I'd show a little of my own.
|  | 
| A few years ago I found some mini prelit trees. My candy canes and wreath add to a warm welcoming.
 | 
|  | 
| Garland and lights up the stairs with some of my older stockings. | 
|  | 
| Love my little reindeer with his acorn necklace. Special shout out to Bethany Bear for her creativeness!
 | 
|  | 
| My first stocking | 
|  | 
| This year I decided to go with all white and silver. I love how elegant it looks. | 
|  | 
| Unfortunately I created my gumball wreath before my blogging days. To make one of your own is simple though. Send the kids out in the yard to grab
 a bagful of gumballs. I grabbed a vine wreath from the craft store and started hot
 gluing them on. Once I covered the entire wreath I sprayed with silver metallic
 spray paint. Tack on a bow and you're done!
 | 
|  | 
| Love bells! I have to put them everywhere! | 
|  | 
| Another easy (and inexpensive) idea. Throw some pine cones and potpourri in a basket.
 | 
|  | 
| Our stockings were hung with care. No mantel so I have to make do. | 
|  | 
| Even the little fur-babies, Nate and Nadia have their stockings. And with gifts already inside!
 | 
|  | 
| Candles, candles, candles! Add fake snow to your votive for a wintery feel. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure how flame retardant the snow is....
 You may want to keep an eye on those candles.
 | 
|  | 
| Another easy project, create your own Christmas centerpiece. A tray, a few candles, snow and whatever small Christmas decorations
 you have laying around.
 | 
|  | 
| I threw in some leftover ornaments, a few bells and a couple of light bulbs. | 
|  | 
| Not sure what to do with those ornaments that lose their tops? | 
|  | 
| Throw them in a bowl! Here's my Bowl of Fun. How happy does this look? Throw any leftover ornaments or those missing their tops together.
 | 
|  | 
| I found some leftover ribbon I had to do something with so I wrapped up our sliding door. Definitely need to find a bigger
 bow and maybe something else to spruce it up.
 | 
|  | 
| A friend gave me this pot with a mini Christmas tree a few years ago. As you can see I've kept the pot... the tree didn't survive. :/
 | 
|  | 
| 
| But it makes for another easy project. Grabbed a handful of acorns from the backyard.
 |  | 
|  | 
| What do you get when 2 thirty-year-olds move in together? Two of everything, including Christmas trees. That's ok though.
 The more the merrier!
 | 
|  | 
| I love the sparkly ones! | 
 MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
