Ok, a couple of photo's ..blizzard going on outside otherwise I'd be out taking photo's of the light display..sorry, have the musical light display attached to all but can't attach with photo...
Painted this santa several years ago..
He's 5'2"..lordy 2" taller than I...
Just like having a man in the house...
Behind him is another santa I painted maybe 5 years ago...
Most of my treasures have been painted or made by myself..

Not the tajmahal but it's comfy and festive
Stormy out, nice just sitting and enjoying all the beauty that goes with the season..
Bit of whimsy for the grandchildren
French cafe..can't get a good photo because of the staircase...
I'm so laughing, Kyle my eldest grandson, going to be 14 on Monday was standing here, I was telling him that I was showing christmas decorations...he said 'what isn't Christmas here, if you really want to show them take a photo of your 6 trees'...a clown in every family..
Here he is, dropping in to do paths for grandma...
Easy decoration..
greenery from pine/cedar, fill with water, cover with cranberries and set in floating candles...
Another santa I painted....soon I'll have to stop painting, no place to put these treasures..lol
A little bit of Christmas
More hand painted work..and you wonder why I've no place for more...
Love making Christmas floral arrangments to go throughout the house...here's a few...
Yet another...
Well I've most likely took a bit more of your time than I should have...when it settles I'll take photo's of front deck and back decks..blowing to hard to do so tonight..thanks for joining me..sorry about the p.j.'s but I did have coffee on...
OHHHHHH Betty, so beautiful. And please, NEVER stop painting, just send them to me, I'll find a place for them. Everything is so pretty and festive. Looks like a wonderful place to spend all the Holidays.
Thanks for sharing.....more.....more!

Oh what beautiful fabulous decorations from all of you. What a treat. That's it. Tomorrow is decorating all day. And I am looking closely at all of the beauties you all have. I love love love Red and Green and Gold and and and. I'm sorry , I am just like a little girl when it comes to Christmas.
wintergardener your mantels are beautiful. Just awesome. I clicked on your link but I couldn't get it to work. LOL You ought to see me examining your beautiful drapery and wallpaper. I recognize most of the trims. And your lambrequin is just fabulous. You must be a Southern girl at heart. I just love living in the South and using all the trims and swags and things. And goodness , your centerpiece’s. Hmm Hmm Hmm.
Seedtosser1 I love your wreath. You should see me trying to zero in on that beautiful bow and your ornaments, so I can copy it. LOL More please!
flowers_delight please post your photos. Mine will look puny too compared to some of these beauties, but to me there is no Christmas decoration that is puny. I love it all.
And look at you Dahtzu. I really must come and visit you. Woman after my own heart indeed. I was just looking at white fences like that today. That’s awesome with the red bows and garland. And all of the wreath's. Hmmmm, I might just hit Hobby Lobby just one more time tomorrow. And my nandina’s have been in pots for almost 2 years now. I probably should put them in the ground. They have turned the pretty winter red color, but they are still so small. And what is that pretty scrub with the red flowers behind it?
And Betty what can I say. Everything is just perfect. I love your tree and all of your hand painted decorations. You are a fabulous painter. Mercy, just look at all the detail. LOL and now I know I should have purchased that Christmas quilt I saw today for my bedroom. I’ve never decorated my bedroom for Christmas, but that looks so cozy. Cranberries and beautiful outside lights and café’s Oh my. And with the thought of a blizzard outside, I’d love to come sit and have some hot chocolate with you. And enjoy your pretty lights.
This is so much fun sharing with you sweet ladies. My guys just don’t get into the decorating thing. LOL But you all definitely do. Thank you all for the awesome decorations. I look so forward to more and more.
Debbie
OK, where did you all go?
Beautiful decorations everyone. I still need to get mine out.
Betty, if you want someplace to send your extra's, you have my address too! LOL!
Hello all...bring on those decorations. It's almost Christmas and we wanna see!
G'night all.
Faye
Here are our outside lights. My son did it all by himself. He has always loved putting up the outside lights. I will post inside tomorrow.
and even Santa flying high up in the trees.
Paula, I'm with your Son, I love decorating too. He did a great job. Really looks like Christmas.
Oh Paula it looks great. My grandson would have a ball looking at the Santa flying up. Can't wait to see your inside photos tomorrow. Thanks so much for the photos
Debbie
Here are some inside.......the den.
Notice the stockings, we have the traditional ones, but one year my husbands employees put some gifts in the big stocking for him and ever since, my children have put those up. We are missing one, can't seem to find it.
here is my santa, love him, he guards the door.
and here is the foyer. My nutcrackers
PRETTY...love the santa on the door...you've a great collection of nutcrackers...
You just reminded me I should have included a photo of a workshop I taught, snowman wreath holder...he's on my door..put a musical wreath holder..lordy, with each passing vehicle AND tree movement the songs are played..must drive neighbors crazy..lol
Thank you Paula for sharing your pretty decorations. Everything looks so inviting and festive. Love collections and love those Nutcrackers too.
How Beautiful!! You all have such festive displays!
Sure bring a smile to see. Thank you for sharing.
OH Paula, everything is just beautiful. Well, today was my day to try to finish up my decorations. BUT....my husband came home early from work and is lying on the sofa taking a nap. BOOOOOOOOOOO....
Thank you all for sharing the photos and keeping me in holiday mood.
Love the pictures folks, all of em are great. My camera is on the blink or would participate. But am enjoying yours!
Ya'lls pics are great, thanks for sharing! : )
A few from me. My Jeff Gordon Christmas tree.......
My tree topper. I can't remember if this is Jeffie, his brother Jeffery Michael, or his cousin D'pont? They all favor.......
It goes without saying my tree has to have beer and METALLICA related ornaments! ;)
You can never have enough Jeff Gordon stuff!
Lastly every tree needs a stand. Mine is a tire and wheel off of Jeff's winning Martinsville car.
OMG 24goingfor5, my grandson will have fit when he sees your tree. Oh dear, yet another Nascar Fan. LOL And how on earth did you get Jeff's winning tire? That is way too cool. I'll show your pics to my boys tomorrow. Boys, being my husband, son and grandson. All with your Nascar addiction. You guys never grow up, just your toys get more expensive. LOL Thanks so much for the great photos.
Debbie
PS I enjoyed checking out you photos on flickr. Especially the ones at the races. And no, I'm not a racing fan. :) yea, right. When I was dating my husband 38 years ago, he had a race car that I loved. That was in the days of muscle cars and street racing. I was one of the dummy girls that dropped the flag. Geez, kids are so oblivious to danger. Anyway, he sold the race car to marry me and I was furious. I just knew that I would get to swap a few gears at the track. But, later, he built a 68' Chevy that ran in the low 10's and I had gotten way too wise to get into that thing. Anyway, enough of memory lane. Thanks again for the great photos.
How unique...now that took a lot of collecting and ingenuity (?) too early in the a.m. for spelling..lol..
Had a few friends over last night and we did floral arrangements..wasn't until after midnight when they left...morning comes quickly when you go to bed at 1:00..even had a little one joining in..
