Everything is looking so pretty! Did you do the needlework...LOVE it!

Thanks Marlene! Yes, the counted cross stitch was done by me in another lifetime :) I need to get back to it since I have lots of half finished Christmas designs that need to be used.

Ooooo. Love the cross stitch.
Next year I'm going to do the Tree-With-Its-Ball-Root-Wrapped-In-Burlap idea.
I've got a kitchen tree that would fit that situation perfectly.

Very, very pretty.

Love the cross-stitch pcs & also that 'post card' wall hanging ... your matted collage of photos on the staircase is really cool!

I like how you put your burlap wrapped tree & candles on pedestals/candleholders...that looks really great ...the green glass, too! Love your style, rafor! Jeanne s.

Thanks again everyone.

Jeanne: the green glass candlesticks I just found last week on clearance at TJ's. I'm always on the lookout for everyday items I can use for Christmas :)

Rafor, love all of this decorating you managed
to fit in before YOUR deadline.LOL The present
topiary is something I would buy too. Love
your needlework picture, postcard with MERRY
and candle jar.

Nice collection of nutcrackers up there! I had
planned on hanging some wreaths w/ribbon this
year but nothing so far. Keep showing yours
and one year I'll get it done.haha

Love your picture of Santa and everything below!
The cake pedestal is so neat with your tree on
top. The green and red candle holders, WOW.

Everything looks so pretty and festive. I love cross stitch but I don't have the patience to do it.
Can't wait to see your tree!
