Victor they have the icicles $35.00 for 5.. the retro fit ones though.. no strings on them

Thanks. So they fit regular light strings?

yes.. that is why we like the retros.. if they burn out.. change it easy too.. we have some old c9 strings we are changing out to the led retrofits .. we even found some color changing ones last year.. figured we would mix up the strings one solid, one changing and so on

these are the color change ones I bought on clearance last year.. of course you can buy the non-dimable bulbs and they are cheaper... we want the dimable bulbs for the light show.. they cost more

and what they look like

and here are some non-dimable bulbs.. don't have too many colors listed .. maybe phasing them out.. since most of us nuts want the dimable

I am too cheap to pay the price for those large balls, Allison. I bought the dozen that I already own on sale for $1.00 each. Not as pretty as the ones on that website, but you can't really see the detail when they are on the cherry tree so far from the street. I'll check Target, Ronnie, because I need at least 2 dozen more to make the whole thing look right.

Thanks, Allison!

Teri if you see more for $1.00 let me know.. we would def. buy some

I know those dripping icicle tubes were not cheap even at 1/2 price.. but wow are they nice.. Randy said he would like more as well.. and he is the frugal one

DH has finished the outdoor decorations.

I like the look too, Allison, but still too $$.

I know it Victor... hope you post some pics Jumper!!!

I finished inside yesterday. Will do outside tomorrow. Don't do too much outside anymore. Will get the tree either tomorrow or Tue.

Doubt if hubby will be doing anything outside so I'm going to trim the windows inside with lights

Kids trees are up in their rooms still have to do the family tree

The "man" tree in my son's room

My daughter's............. she made the star, we have to get her a bigger tree she has too many ornaments

stars I made last year

They have some wild displays at this garden center near me

Jen, those stars are BEAUTIFUL. What are they made out of? Can they be done in different colors? Could they be made of materials to be used outside? Are you selling any?

They are pretty! Also love those penguins....

very pretty Jen!!!.. need to make those weather proof for us!!!.. love the motorcycle!!

Thanks!
The stars are made of paper, so you could use any color....will have to think about what could be used to make them waterproof

will have to get Randy to twist some steel.. LOL

a pic from tonight.. not done yet though

very cool! I will post pics as soon as I get them.

WOW!! And they can listen on their radio?!

yep I have an FM transmitter hooked up.. couldn't read my old sign for that.. had to see Randy's face when I told him 500 something lights go into the sign.. LOL.. priceless

Those snowflakes would look GORGEOUS with copper, the really thin sheet stuff....hmmmmm wonder if I could do it...if I could, those I'd sell

Yes!

there ya go Jen!!!

I'll take five, Jen. When can I expect delivery?? ^_^

and I get a cut of the profits since I helped with the idea right.. LOL

I really should get the first order, since I was the first to ask if you're selling them!!

hehe

Allison your house looks like Santa's Village!!

Nice snowflakes Jen!

think it's official .. we are out of room unless Randy wants to go on the roof.. which I doubt I can ever convince him of that

LOVE the falling snow in the back

Ok ok no fighting....if it comes out (and it's fairly simple to make) there will be enough to go around...LOL

Now where do I get those really thin sheets of copper?

I think Sherrie is melting pennies.

LOL

Great salute to all our troops
