Little Fellas....
I love these little guys!!
A little history: They are Roy Des of Fla (c) 1970 banks. These were given out as premiums at banks, as an incentive to open a new account. These two belonged to my younger brother, and spent a long, long time in my Mom's attic. I was up there quite a few years ago and found them. I got the OK to bring them to my home and have had them for about 10 years now. I keep them out all year long because I like them so much. They just make me smile!They are residing in my DR corner cabinet for the holidays and they feel right at home there...
Really, they do! I asked them! haha

Jar of lightbulbs.....
Here's what I did with the lightbulbs from a string of lights that I was about to throw away.
I didn't want to keep the set any longer, but decided to keep the bulbs.
I think they look cute in my big jar. What do you think?

Mini Present....
 |
| I've been making miniature presents..... And trying to perfect the tiny little bows that go on top. I finally have a procedure in place to make them. They take a good 6 hours for the glue to dry. I can make 1 or 2 a day! Patience is a virtue! haha 'Til next time, Love ya, Jean |

Our Christmas Tree.....
When we took our old tree out of the box and started to put it together, most of the lights didn't work! So, a new tree was needed. We had the old one for about 15 years, so it didn't owe us a thing!
So we found this beauty at Lowe's. It is a 6 1/2 ft. Colorado Blue Spruce. It has a bluish tone and has a white spray at the ends of the branches. It has lights that twinkle and pinecones on the branches. We decorated it with glass balls only. I love the whole thing. Here's to another 15 years! haha
And now all we need are the presents!

Light up the night!!!..........
I absolutely love the new LED string lights for outdoors.....
 |
| Now I don't need to rewire the house to have lots of Christmas lights out there... |
These lights use very little electricity and the bulbs last forever!
 |
| As you can see, I've used quite a few around my yard. |
 |
| I found it difficult to get some really good pictures, but I think you can get the idea. |
 |
| This is my favorite tree--a Dwarf Alberta Spruce. |
 |
| This Teddy Bear is 6 Ft. tall...Love him!! |
 |
| The front of the house~~ all ready for Santa! P.S. I am asking for more lights and extension cords for Christmas!! lol 'Til next time, Love ya, Jean |
