Just a Peek at Christmas.......

 

....... I have been quite frustrated for about a week trying to upload to my blog and was not able to due to having no more storage space in my Picasa web albums.   Thanks to my daughter and son-in-law the problem has been solved.  So, now I will give you some teaser glimpses of the Christmas decorations.

 

 

 

You will eventually see the whole setting, probably room by room. Most of you know by now that I have very limited space but that hasn't made it any quicker to complete. Sometimes I wish I wasn't so particular - then it would go much faster. This is an over sized glass ornament. I got several things after Christmas last year at Target's great sale. This is one of two big ornaments I found and love.

 

 

I, just today, added a little real greenery to this shelf and several other places around the rooms. I am working towards being ready for my annual "Gifts From the Kitchen" brunch next Saturday. I'm hoping the cut evergreens will stay fresh looking until then.

 

 

The kitchen is where I decorated differently this year from what I have done year after year. I have a big bin of ceramic and other decorations that I didn't unpack.  I like the different look.

 

 

 

 

I apologize to my face book friends who have already seen this and the following pictures.  This little mischievous Santa has been sneaking around from room to room. The first day I found him up on this clock.

 

 

 

The next day he was here among some bells and yarn balls...........

 

........hiding among the snowmen.........

Check back in a couple of days to see some full-shot pictures. I hope you are having as much fun decorating as I have!
