CHRISTMAS 2013 PART 3

Or "how many posts can you get out of $20.00 worth of greenery and Christmas balls".

Apparently I can stretch it into 3.

After 4 years of blogging I've learned a thing or two.  Our attention span has lessened and we can only process so much.

So with that said…. here is these rest of my Christmas decoration around the house.

I was at HomeGoods and spied a larger version of my  black and white tray.  Skipped out of the store that day right?

Can I just stuff ONE MORE thing with greenery?

I totally rocked this area with 2 wrapped boxes.  I'm on a roll now.  Go girl

I never use my dining room….a better idea would to make it a big old laundry room cause I seem to use that space more than I want.

I changed out my pillows to all white…....Cause why not?  I seem to have enough extra to fill up a Pod.  You know what they say….if pillows were dollars…...

A couple of small boxwoods stuffed in this container which hopefully I will plant after the holidays….. I mean right?  

I better.

Ok I ran out of moss which I needed to stuff in the orchid so I used raffia.  

Cause what can't you do with that stuff?

I knew 2 years ago when I found those white candlesticks at Ikea for $1.00 each they would come in handy….Ha!

The End.

Promise.

Merry Christmas to everyone of you and a huge thanks for reading my blog this year.

CHRISTMAS 2013 PART 2

Christmas is practically around the corner.

Traffic is peaking here in Atlanta and you can't get anywhere.  Kind of makes it hard for a gal who still has errands to do for clients!

It looks like I won't be wrapping things up until Christmas Eve but after that….the fat lady will sing.

I have another batch of my semi Christmas decor pictures to share today.  I admit that after seeing so many incredibly decorated homes in blogland this season it's pretty easy to feel inadequate.  

Like I'm sure some people are thinking "oh isn't that cute" she put balls on a tray and stuck some greenery in a few containers.  

Bless her heart.

According to reports let me just say the most irritating word for 2013…..Whatever.

This area got just that….greenery.

A few topiaries and a paperwhite.

Everything grows in this sunny spot!

It's like a mini greenhouse:)

Yup…more greenery in a vase.  Will the creativity ever stop.

This has nothing to do with Christmas but I put these cuttings in with some water about 4 months ago…..look how they have rooted.

I saw these cute trees at Home Depot and pounced.

I can't remember where I got this basket but again….stuffed with greenery and a few pinecones.

  I'm starting to bore myself.

I'll have the last batch to share on Monday.  

Yawn.

4 shopping days left.

CHRISTMAS 2013

I finally got some motivation on Saturday to do a little Christmas decorating.   It was a cold and rainy day so it seemed like a plan.

The thing about doing it though is that you have to find a place to put the things you are taking away right?  Well that to some cleaning out of cabinets….which makes the whole process take longer.

What should have taken 3-4 hours took almost 8 hours.  Can you see why I was procrastinating?

Anyway….blah….blah.

I just tweaked a few things on the mantel.

Moved some pillows around just for this picture.  Shocking right?

I picked up these paperwhites from Trader Joes and added some black ribbon.

The black lanterns are from HomeGoods.  Since I wasn't tired of my winter mantel I just added some flowers to the old bottles and a little greenery.

This is always an easy area to style up….

I picked up the white mould at Scott's for a few bucks and added some oranges for color.

Not much here but some green ornaments on an old tarnished silver tray.

I know what you are thinking….this took 8 hours?

Hee Haw.  Nah….I did more in other rooms but gotta go.  

9 shopping days left:)
