It's starting to look alot like Christmas! and it's about time!!!

I'm so slow in getting everything done this year. We are getting new windows - living room, dining room, and sun room, the 4 windows that I decorate trees in front of every year. BUT I didn't know when they were coming to install - so I've been patiently (really, I have!) waiting for them to come. Last week, I called them, and they said they were planning to come on December 22. Seriously? The 22nd? I asked very nicely if they could wait til January, and they were happy to do so. I went shopping and found these adorable little pears -CLEARANCE. Kinda got me in the mood.

Last year, one of the bloggers I follow (sorry, I forgot who- but if it was YOU - Thanks!) that showed how they display their Christmas cards. I thought, hmm... I have one of those, got it out and waaalaaa, love it.

Friends from California sent us a wreath, live, smells awesome! My DD#1, had the arrangement for working 5 years at her job, she brought it to share the weekend after my birthday, and kinda "forgot" to take it home. It sure takes a lot of water!

We have had snow a couple of times, but this weekend, the weather is in the upper 40's, so we were able to get the decorations outside done. I'm into wreaths this year (apparently).

Last, but never least, is decorating of the bridge. Icicle lights, greenery and a huge wreath, accent the 60' bridge quite well. It's especially pretty at night. Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful Christmas, and blessed new year. Sandi

Tabletop Tuesday with birds and Maude

This is my "valentine", "Winter", whatever, buffet in our eat-in kitchen area. I love to

add holiday decor in this area, and of course "Maude" is always dressed in her best apron to match.

I'm loving the vintage tablecloth, and how it has red and pink roses, as well as the grey, same as Maudes apron.

The runner is red and green plaid, which are more Christmas, but the sparklish birds, and

tree branch seem kinda winterish to me. I had to have the gold glittered tree limb when I saw it, it was $12.00.

I found the birds on Christmas Closeout, for $1.00 each.

Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment! Please join me as I use this post for Tabletop Tuesday and Pink Saturday this week. I'm getting lazy! The links are below:

A White Outdoor Wednesday - again!

It's snowing again! I'm getting a lot done, painting my ceiling in my sunroom, and shampooing carpet. Have a great week, and celebrate that every day is one day closer to Spring! I'm connecting with the below links:

Outdoor Wednesday

Hope these photos look okay once they get on. We had the most beautiful rainbow today. It went ALL the way across, and was beautiful. I love the fact that I caught it in our favorite place in our yard -on the other end of the bridge!

Here's the top of the arc - over the trees.

Can't resist joining up for Outdoor Wednesday! Come on over! See you there!
