♥ More Christmas Pics ♥

Dark and dreary out again today rainy too!
I wanted to show you my mom's tree that I moved in front of the keepingroom window plus the green and red rag garland that I swagged on the valences. I never had them on there before and that's what I've been doing is using things in different places this year:) This little silk poinsetta I found at Goodwill a while ago and I've had it all over the house trying to find a place for it, you wouldn't think a little thing like that would give me so much trouble:) Well, I finally put it on my kitchen counter and that's where it's staying.
These gingermen I found at Goodwill years ago and they are placed in a yelloware bowl on my stoveboard.

On my way home from work last evening Nick called and wanted to know if I'd keep Alex for a couple hours, he had a meeting close to my house. Here she is looking at "The Night Before Chrismas" book that was Chris'


Buster was listening too♥
I wanted to say how much I'm enjoying seeing everyone's home decorated for Christmas...everyone is doing such a great job:)

  4. Rondell,
    Your decorating is beautiful. I thought the poinsettia was real and I think it looks great there on the kitchen counter. I always enjoy seeing pictures of your beautiful home.

  6. Your house all decorated up for Christmas puts most others to shame...especially mine. But you're teaching me tricks. I just can't help it if I'm a slow learner.

    Love your pictures and home.

  12. Hi Rondell, your tree looks lovely. Sounds like the new job is going along well. I have new job too, wasnt sure id done the right thing but I am now, I lay out breakfast trays for 59 residents, and then go round with the morning tea trolley at a local care home on the weekends, and get home by 11.45. I think more snow is coming our way, nice to look at but hell to drive on...XX

  18. Hi Rondell,
    I love the way you have your keeping room decorated. I really like the red cupboard in the corner with the crow on it.
    Also love the gingerbread in the yellow bowl.
    I want to go to your Goodwill...I haven't been able to find any good treasures in ours lately.
    Hugs, Cindy

  21. More wonderful Christmas decor! I love it all! Your mom's tree looks really good there! I loved reading about your ornaments too. After reading Shelley's and now yours, I think I might take that ornament challenge too!

    Your gingerbread men make me smile! I just love gingerbread men and it's just hard to beat gingerbread in a prim bowl!
