Deck the Halls

Welcome to my Christmas Home Tour
I am a day late and a dollar short
Boo Mama started her tour YESTERDAY
(I'm #763 on her Mr. Linky!!!!)
I just finished snapping a few pictures...
...I didn't get to the bedrooms or family room...
...maybe another day!
I love my star wreaths and have them on
every front window of my house

This is a framed copy of this year's Christmas card

Dining Room

My favorite stocking with a peacock feather!

Piano and fireplace garland

Jars filled with snow, stars, sticks and ornaments

Mercury trees with the girl's favorite candy in the star dish!

Feather wreath...can't get enough feathers!

Retro bottle brush trees and garden angel

My cute little green house that I found for such a steal!

Have I mentioned how much I love birds?

This is the funkiest bird ornament ever!

To see more Christmas bird passion click here!

That concludes today's tour!! Thank you for your rapt attention!

I have been willing myself NOT to get sick the past few days. I haven't been too successful.
I have been fighting my two year old on several different issues. Not having any success there either!
I haven't bought DK anything for Christmas yet. It is stressing me out beyond belief!
I haven't baked a thing for next week yet. As a matter of fact we have no food in the house right now. What are fresh fruits and vegetables? It's been so long since we've had any I can't recall what they are!! Must get to the grocery store!
The weatherman is reporting snow tonight....YAY! I'm hoping to find a white blanket outside my window tomorrow morning!

Everything is beautiful and so tastefully done. Please don't stress yourself. I know it's hard this time of year, but there's joy to be found underneath all that bustle. You'll get it done.
