Christmas Decorating Frenzy...

well, today has certainly been a new experience for me... sure, i've decorated for Christmas before, but i lived in a little house in the 'hood (so to speak). This house is blowing my mind!! and scott just sat around today snickering at me... I thought i had amassed enough garland over the years to decorate every room of a house BUT, i only got the living room and the dining room done! i have 1 swag and 2 pieces of twiggy stuff and 2 very short outdoor pieces (which worked well outside the front door last year). i still have to do something with the stair bannister and kitchen... and UGH... the outside front entrance and garage. This is when i regret not even LOOKING at christmas stuff at yard and estate sales... so here's what i got so far...

I am supporting my child's school fundraiser by buying 5 red poinsettias for the fireplace opening and i'm making four stockings out of burlap sacks saved from scott's grandparent's barn in Georgia. Hopefully have that picture by next week!

So i spent my whole day (between phone calls) working on this... i know, pitiful right? But i really did feel overwhelmed... here is the inside of the front door...

Well, i guess i'm off to see what the stores have to offer as far as outdoor garland... can't wait to show you my vintage blown plastic santa!!
