My Christmas Card to all of You!

CHRISTMAS is almost upon is!

First let me explain the music you are hearing....
This is Polish Christmas Koledy. This is a beautiful Polish Christmas carol. I grew up with hearing my family and all of my aunts and uncles sing these songs when we visited at Christmas and in church during the Christmas season. I wanted to share a bit of my childhood memories with all of you.......

I also would like your vote, please click HERE

I want to share with you a beautiful book that one of my friends gave to me when she came to visit!

I am going to use some of the beautiful pictures from this book in my
CHRISTMAS CARD TO ALL OF YOU!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

I have a list of folks I know, all written in a book
And every year at Christmas Time, I go and take a look!

And that is when I realize that these names are a part
Not of the book they're written in, but of my very own heart.

And while you may not be aware of any special link,
Just meeting you shaped my life, more often than you think.

For once you've met somebody,the years cannot erase
The memory of a pleasant word or a smiling , friendly face.

So never think my Christmas cards are just a mere routine
of names upon a Christmas List forgotten in between.

For when I send a Christmas Card that is addressed to you,
It's because you're on that list of folks that I am indebted to.

And every year when Christmas comes, I realize anew,
One of the biggest gifts life can give is meeting folks like you!

And may the Spirit of Christmas that forever and ever endures
Leave its richest blessings in the heart of you and yours!
Anon

Wishing all of you a joyous, healthy and wonderful Christmas!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

I am linking this Christmas Card to all the parties on my Side Bar!

Nope! It is not a misprint....

14 Christmas Trees!!

Sometimes, I can't believe it myself that I have 14 Christmas trees!!

You may have seen them in my Home Tour, room by room. Click on pics on my side bar to view.

But I thought I would show you all of them together in one post!

So here we go.....

Tree # 1

My Dining Room Tree

Tree # 2 , My Living Room Tree

Tree# 3, a small tree decorated with lights in the Living Room, under a chair

Tree # 4, My powder Room Tree

Tree # 5, my Kitchen Tree

Tree # 6 , My Den Tree

Tree # 7, a metal ornament Tree also in my Den

Well, in case you didn't think I had 14 trees, there they all are!

I live in a townhouse which is not a large home. I have proven that you DO NOT need a large home to have this many trees!!
You can pretty much set up a Christmas tree anywhere. They come in all sizes and shapes!!

HOME TOUR Part Five: Den and Trees # 9, 10 and 11

Welcome to our HOME TOUR Part Five!

If you missed Parts 1,2,3 and 4, Please click on the pics on my Side Bar to link to these posts!!

This is my Den.......

It originally was the outdoor patio of the house....

My Dad enclosed it, heated it , took out the Kitchen door and window and made it another room for us....

It became the Toy Room for the boys......
Now it is where one of my computers is located and where we spend drinking our coffee in the morning while catching up on the local news on the TV......

Since it was a patio, it is only 8 ft. by 20 ft.

Weird dimensions but you have to work with what you have!

Now I will take you around the room...

As you can see it has a Blue and Burgundy theme...
Every room of my home is a different color....

As you come out of the kitchen, going to the right........

My sister bought this for me the first Christmas without our Mom .....

This door is to a small storage room.....
Okay you know by now that I made the wreath and floral swags in this room too!

The Calendar is from Avon many years ago. My sons used it to count down the days til Christmas and I still do....

Have you noticed how much I like shelves.....

I have some Thomas Kinkade things and some that look like his, in this room....

Burgundy in this room!

One of my Santa's and one of my Dolls....

A Thomas Kinkade Music Box....

End tables were bought by Joe at a Church Flea Market for $6.00!!
Tiffany Lamp is from the Dining Room where that tree is now....

I love my " Believe " sign!! Do you Believe????

Some of my Victorian Tassel dolls......

My Back Door.....

Thomas Kinkade Four Season Plate Clock.......

And tree # 9!!!

I originally had the 7 ft. slim that is now in the Dining Room out here but when I had my doll house built, I had to change thins around.....

Thomas Kinkade house underneath the tree and a light up Dickens like town under the table.......

Those Santa boxes underneath the table house my Christmas Movie collection...

Vintage topper and pheasant feathers which were a popular Victorian decoration....

This tree has cream and burgundy colored ornaments along with Thomas Kinkade ornaments....

The beaded garland has a rose pattern embossed on it and I have burgundy roses stuffed into the tree...

For Tea Tuesday, see the Thomas Kinkade Tea Pots and Tea Cups......

Remember my Church Flea market find.....
All filled with Teddy Bears...

Where my computer is concealed and I do most of my posting....

These Christmas Carol figures came from a local department store many years ago....

Angels on the curtains....

This another set from Sam's Club....

Another Wreath I made....

This hides the computer cords!

My Victorian Doll house, Nelson Crest, is also decorated!!!

I will do a separate post showing you Nelson Crest....

This is tree # 10 that I made for Nelson Crest....

And here it is in the Parlor....

Den side of what was the kitchen window....

Tree # 11

I bought these ornaments at Micheal's several years ago and they remind me of my childhood and Christmas in the 60's so I thought they deserved a separate tree...

Some close ups......

The little girl on the sled is me as a kid...
We lived on a hill and I was always sleigh riding...
Just recently I realized that they must have NEVER taken care of that road since we used to sleigh ride so much!! LOL!!
