I've always dreamed of having a 'log cabin' ...so this is as close as I've come ....

I hate when I lose something & this log cabin eluded me today! Had to go down to the garage & look thru all the totes again...yes, it was in the very LAST ONE!! & I was sure I had unpacked that tote along with MANY on the porch... the Woodland vignette:

Does that Santa look familiar to anyone? ~~giggle

...and here's a view with that 'Spring Wreath' moved over to this wall ... looks very Woodsy, I think! This spring wreath was gifted to me & I made the burlap bow & hung a blingy deer ornament in the middle. ;-)

I'm about half done out there...so if we have some more warmer days, I should get finished! TFLookin', Holiday-ers. Merry Christmas! Jeanne S.

Jeanne, I love it all. I remember the skating snowmen, they look so cute sating in their 'pond'.
Your log cabin vignette is so adorable. The guy sitting on the branch of the lamp is neat. I love the woodland Santa too.
It was so much fun to visit your porch today!

PS I'm still looking for things too. I'll probably find them in that safe place after Christmas

I don't remember the ice skating tub. Maybe I've been absent from the Forum longer than I realized. I LOVE the idea. Pretty darn cute.
Did you have to order the plexiglass at a special place?

Also, I'm in love with the bed spring wreath. I sort of want to do a "Rusty Christmas" theme with left over piece of junk converted into Christmas decorations and softened with burlap fabric. I think I'll start collecting ideas now. Your wreath is the first to go into the digital scrapbook.

Everything looks so cozy, despite your cold weather.

Thanks for the heads-up concerning the bad link on my post. I don't know what is going on. So frustrating.

Your porch is one of my favorite places to see....and everything looks wonderful. Those first photos are like Christmas card scenes!

Your ice skaters are a delight each year, they always make me smile.

As for losing stuff.....all the time. sigh. At least you found your cabin before Christmas, instead of after when you were repacking stuff. :o)

hugs, Karen

Thanks, nana, OA & PM ... do love the season!

OA ... my hubby cut out that piece of plexiglass ... I turned the tub upside down & drew a pattern & then he cut it just a bit smaller so that it would sit down inside the tub a bit. He also drilled a hole in bottom side for the electrical cord of mini lights (this was before the days of led lights). ;-)

Here's a close-up of the 'bed springs' wreath made by my friend, Nancy, another Iowa gal, for a gift. She said, "I just get the wire cutters and snip off a section, the curly wire is were I cut them apart." Pretty cool, uh...then I added that burlap bow & ornie. ~~Jeanne S.

That wreath is just the neatest thing. I love it. And its so perfect for your decor. What a wonderful gift from your friend.

hugs, Karen

Jeanne, this is wonderful to see this early am. Just love the way you put everything together. You've been the busiest little bee around this year making everything bright and cheery!Thank you

Everything looks really good! The cooler full of snowmen is a really cute idea!
