SHARING YOUR CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS WITH YOUR DG FAMILY 2009

all enjoyed..now we're off today to purchase roses so we can finish them off...too stormy last night to be travelling to town for 'flowers'... made due with what we had...

So this morning it's upstairs, downstairs looking for somewhere to put them..lol

basement tree is all in silver so this one complimented the decor...just have white roses to pick up and it will be 'fini'..

Oh my, look at that tree. That is dedication for sure! Have you sent it to Jeff Gordon, or to his website. I bet he would love it?

Betty, love the decorations! All are so pretty! Looks like you even have the little ones hooked. Gotta keep the crafters going for the next generation!

My train of thought LindaKay..start them young..lol..

Betty if I had your talent I would never buy another Christmas present lol. Great pics everyone!

24going, that tree is awesome, and has to be one of a kind.Jeff would be proud.
Betty, I totally loved all your arrangements. Wish all my inside decorations could be just like those, they are beautiful. I agree with flowers_delight....they would make extra special gifts.

What beautiful decorations you all have....
24goingfor5,, I'm a Nascar fan also, your tree is outstanding. Have you sent a pic to Jeff? I
think he would love it LOL....
Here's my little apartment size tree, GREAT THREAD !!!!!!

Betty, as everything else you make, those centerpieces are beautiful. Everything I see that you do, makes me want to run out and get the goodies to reproduce it. Thanks so much for the inspiration to create.

jasminesmom, now that's a gorgeous tree. Thank you so much.

I can't believe my camera is dead. I keep talking to it, shaking it, the aggravating thing. How dare it kick the bucket right here at Christmas. LOL

drapelady, Thank you. maybe santa will bring you a new camera. I opened a early present and got a new camera LOL
Christine

This has been around before, but worth posting again! Enjoy! ^_^

REMEMBER THIS AT CHRISTMAS TIME

According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, while both male and female reindeer grow antlers in the summer each year, male reindeer drop their antlers at the beginning of winter, usually late November to mid-December.

Female reindeer retain their antlers till after they give birth in the
spring.

Therefore, according to EVERY historical rendition depicting Santa's reindeer, EVERY single one of them, from Rudolph to Blitzen, had to be a girl.

We should've known......

ONLY women would be able to drag a fat man in a red velvet suit all around the world in one night and not get lost.

A MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!

ROTFLOL hysterically. And only a woman would be asked to do such a thing! But with this younger generation of females, they would probably tell him to get his fat self out of the sleigh and pull them.

Thanks ya'll. : ) I've never sent a pic to Jeff per say, but I used to post on his website. I won't go into why I stopped. LOL I'm glad I found this thread as I love seeing other people's Christmas decorations and they are all beautiful! There's a lot of very talented people on here! ;)

Jasminesmom, love the tree...my colors...

Nice to drop in and visit with you all and see your decorations...

Thanks everyone. Keep those pictures coming, its giving me ideas for next year
Christine

I cannot believe how much I've missed! Everyone is so very tallented. My decorations don't look much like that right now. I pulled all outside up very quickly because of all the water...even outside cords aren't made to soak in water. The ones that were hight are still out and once the water receedes I'll get them all back to normal... in the mean time I'm so much enjoying everyone elses.

Hugs and thanks for sharing,

Jamie

drapelady, I'm joining you on the floor!!!!

Hi Jamie, glad you're back.

Mary, that is not something you want to happen at Christmas! Hope you get it fixed without to much hassle! Are you still painting rocks?

Nasty, rainy, cold day here. I wanted to work outside!!! Waaa!

More Photo's please please. I know everyone is so busy right now. I have so enjoyed the ones already posted. My grandson is off of school today, so hopefully we will get the cookies made, the special ornaments finished and lots and lots of shopping. I love the last minute shopping the best . Then it feels like Christmas. LOL I know, I'm nuts, but I love decorated malls and lots of people rushing around and everyone saying Merry Christmas. I hope everyone has such a good Christmas. This year folks have had to hunker down and get creative, with the economy likes it's been. But the gifts and decorations, made from the heart, are the best anyway.

Debbie

Yes, I'm still painting rocks. Just having trouble finding the right ones. I'm also painting birdhouse gourds for my garden and am making a trade of one for some rooted hib cuttings.

Dradelady, I'm like you. I prefer gifts from the heart. Something that someone has made or grown themselves. Not just something that they went out and bought that everyone else is buying also.

Mary

Other than the grandchildren, my gifts are all homemade..it's nice when someone says 'wait each year for my present from you, that's the gift we most enjoy opening' can't go wrong with people thinking that way can we...

Will have to take photo, know it's NOT Christmas decorations but of the 4 grandchildren I sketched and framed..that's one of the gifts...am sure as always the boys will say, 'whose kids are these?' often wonder if they are joking or serious..lol

Good evening, I hope you don't mind me posting my tree here, Merry Christmas to everyone, this is my first time on this forum

Each year I say, this has been the best, but I'm all but positive it was this past Christmas...
