Here are some of my terrible pictures from last year. It's my goal to do much better with the decorations and the photo taking this year! I'm hoping that Chicken Little will help me get everything decorated while she is home for Thanksgiving.
Here's the tree, the beast, and the mantle in the background. Our mantle is only about 6" wide, so I'm somewhat limited on what I can put up there. I'd like to figure out a way to expand it a bit. I also made that big letter "C" last year - it could stand for Christmas, but really it stands for "Cash" our last name.
And another view of the tree, taken from the catwalk upstairs. Yes, that is a big pink peacock on the top of my tree. It's not traditional, but I like it. It's showy just like my tree. I know you're jealous of it's fabulosity. ;-) I've got quite the collection of ornaments - and I use EVERY single one! More is more!
This is the little silver tree I set up in the dining room. I wish I could find the other pictures of the table. It was all in silver and gold - really pretty and sparkly!
The kitchen sideboard - this was my "other" favorite. :-) I also had a little tree in the kitchen and we decorated it with sugar cookies. I kept having to redecorate that one.
And, finally we had the hall tree in the entryway last year. I decided to hang the stockings here since the mantle is so skinny.
