Hi folks, first time posting in this forum. I hang out in the Hosta forum usually. Thought I would share a few pics of my Christmas decos. I have a thing for gingerbread men and red & white mints, when it comes to Christmas decorating. I am constantly in awe of the amazing pictures and ideas you all come up with! Thank you all for being so inspiring!

    Nutmeg, Welcome,
    I love the way you used the gingerbread men and red and white mints. Everything looks so bright and cheerful! The tree is darling. The red and white ornaments are perfect with the mints. Great job!!

    Hi Nutmeg...and WELCOME!
    I'm so glad you posted your pictures here. It's nice to hear
    we inspired you to come out and play with us!! We love new friends...and we love pictures. I enjoyed seeing yours.
    All your decorations are adorable. I like how you put that shelf up over your sink with the lights..and the nice collections you have displayed there. Did you make the lighted Gingerbread house and also the couple? They're very cute. Looks like you have some vintage cookie cutters and other things mixed in with your decorations. I like that look. I loved the little cloth with the saying...
    'Home is where the Cookies Are'! Did you make that?
    Cute, Cute Peppermint tree. Do you have it displayed in your Kitchen? I wish I had space for a Kitchen tree like that. So many of the ladies here have them..and I have serious 'Kitchen Tree Envy' !!
    Once again, I'm so glad you posted your decorations. I could look at Christmas deocs all yr long. Hope you join us...and we get to see more of you here.

    It's so nice that you joined us here, like Jane said, we love Christmas year round. All your gingerbread and candy decor is darling and it looks like your green kitchen is the perfect back-drop for them. Are those pastel gingerbread men in the first pic, I have a thing for pastels. I love the frosty peppermint wreath too. We're here for all the hoidays, be sure to drop back in.

    Nutmeg,
    Your kitchen decorations are so cute. Love the gingerbread and mint theme. That is a great kitchen tree. Where ever did you find the fuzzy garland? Boy! It sure goes with the mints.

    I like the cookie saying too. Couldn't make out the last word. Jane has better eyes, I think. Was it on a cloth or a cap? So cute nestled there between the gingerbread couple.

    Glad you decided to join in.

    So nice that you shared your pics with us, Nutmeg. Like Jane said, we love new friends and new pics. ;o) I've always had a soft spot for gingers, just such cute little smiling faces. Great idea pairing them with the peppermints. Loved your ornaments, I've not seen any like that--were they a lucky find? Hope you will come back and visit with us more. Luvs

    Thank you all for your lovely welcome and your sweet comments. I too, can look at Christmas decos all year long! The lighted gingerbread house and couple I purchased at an after Christmas sale, I think they are supposed to be yard decorations, but they`re a little small and delicate for outside use. I have a collection of cookie cutters, but only a few would fit on that shelf. The 'Home is where the Cookies Are' dishtowel was found on Ebay years ago.The pastel gingerbread men are Lenox, they release a new gbread ornament each year, I`m only missing 2 of them I think. Would like to complete that collection some day. I didn`t take a pic of the matching cookie jar, but I just love it.
    I don`t usually care for the fuzzy garland type garlands, but found that red and white one on sale and grabbed it, I think it goes really well. The same with the red and white round glass ornaments. They were dirt cheap and I think I squealed when I saw them, lol. I have enough cookie/candy related ornaments to probably do 3 trees. It`s just finding the time and the room to display them...maybe NEXT year!
    Again, thank you all! You are all experts judging by your photos, thanks for being kind to my little decos!

    Nutmeg, I'm late for the party but agree with all the above comments from everyone. Your Gingerbread Cookie Jar is to die for. It's the cutest one I've ever seen. So happy you have joined us here and are sharing pictures.

    Hi Nutmeg, and a warm welcome to you. I loved seeing your pictures, and hope you stick around. Gingerbread and Peppermints, what a delightful combo to decorate with! I especially loved your tree!

    Hope you find the other Lenox ornaments to complete your collection. Check eBay as now Christmas is over, bargains can be found. I get quite a bit during the summer, to add to my Lenox-Mikasa Christmas collection.

    Its great to have another Christmas lover here!
    hugs, Karen
