still sprucing up

i was going to hang these outside but i set them down on the wicker settee and liked it.

no one is going to be sitting in this frigid weather.

plus, it was too cold to stand around and think about where they would look best.

back inside to see frosty and his sidekick.

they are all the cold i need inside.

i still don't have my christmas tree up. although i do have many christmas tree reminders.

we have a tradition of cutting ours down and the tree farm is a long drive away. (approx.2 hours)the weather has been too cold and weekends too busy with nutcracker practises.

so we are waiting for a warmer weekday and will take abbey out of school and jesse is homeschooled.

i am trying to be patient. hear my foot tapping!!!

santa has shone himself here and there.

rudoulph has dressed himself with a ribbon and candles.

waiting for his christmas night flight.

i got an idea that my brightly coloured angel would rather be white.

so out came the spray paint and away went the blues, reds, and green.

i like her better this way.

she seems suited for it and has a smile of contentedness now.

this unusual reindeer/sleigh combination is fun and i love it.

i put it somewhere different every year.

it hasn't found it's perfect place this year yet.

but it is out of storage looking...

here...

and there...

and now off i must be to the cold outdoors...

happy weekend all!
