A Few of My Favorite Things Christmas 2011!

I am very excited to finally share some Christmas decorations with you all. My big tree still isn't up and won't be until my living room re-vamp is complete. I am almost done with that! Since this is our first Christmas in this house it has been challenging trying to make all of my decorations stretch. I have been having fun doing that, looking forward to some new traditions and loving all the new stuff that has been handed down to me.

I hope that you enjoy this mini tour and please stay tuned for my big tree and living room reveal.

Welcome to our home!

We put up very little outside decorations because we are very overwhelmed with all of the other projects going on.

Come on in!

Sitting Room......

Cute tin ornaments that I just picked up the other day.

This was my Grandmothers nativity scene and some rag garland to help fill up that space.

I love to frame our Christmas cards. This one is from two years ago.

Dinning Room......

Isn't this the coolest vintage topper?

This tree is a little bit whimsy and rustic with my cinnamon and salt dough ornaments and handmade garland on it.

I LOVE the rag garland. It really adds a lot to a tree!

All of my Hallmark ornaments were gifts from my Mother. I have 31! She has a huge collection of them. Her whole tree is all Hallmark ornaments. It's beautiful. This cute little popping one is worth $50!

Salt dough!

Isn't that the truth?

Okay, so I really like these Santa's. They were all gifts that I have acquired throughout the years but truly enjoy.

Master Bedroom......

I have two small trees in here.

I decided to make this tree all about my husband and I. It has a few old pictures before we were married and other ornaments that represent our first's!

I can't believe that I have been lovingly wrapping and unwrapping this ornament since 1993!

First house! Now I need to get a new ornament that will represent our newest home.

We were babies in those pictures!

This tree has my favorite paper angels on it and I only have two of these doily ornaments but I love them. They were a gift to me a very long time ago. I have been wanting to make more but never have. They would be so easy to do and what a cute gift idea.

Emma's Room.......

Both of my kids have acquired so many ornaments that they definitely need bigger trees and now that they have bigger rooms I think they will be getting an upgrade soon!

I used her old pillow case dress for a skirt!

She has a collection of Holiday Barbie ornaments that she LOVES!

This one is very cool. You put fragrance oil on it and it makes the room and tree smell lovely!

Emma stole this ball from me. I only have one but wish I would have bought more. It came from a vintage accessory store in St. Pete.

Ethan's Room......

I have always loved his Americana tree. Again he is getting so many ornaments and needs a bigger tree. This tree is filled with a lot of memorabilia from the family!

His Dad proudly served!

My alumni!

Dad's alumni!

Very cool Superman! He is electric and rotates into his full costume!

Ethan has a few of these coin vintage baseball players.

A few hand made ornaments and a

really cool Santa light. Hand me down from Grandma. I love the vintage vibe it has in his room!

I hope to share more soon!

Merry Christmas!!
