What Sings My Soul

Hello Everyone.  We are getting close now to the big day.  Hope you all have enjoyed this time getting ready.

I collect angels and I was gifted a couple of angels this past week.  

I could hardly contain myself when I opened up the package.  

They are now in my Christmas decor.  I thought I would share them with you.

This sweet angel with her red bell just makes my heart beat a little faster.  She is the sweetest angel and all her special touches.

I love her grey and white dress along with her silver halo and trim.  It is hard to find pretty angels with blonde hair.  This one is just so sweet with her blonde locks.

She looks pretty at night when the lights on the tree are on.  I decided she is the Snowflake Angel in my tree.

Love her pretty sparkle with her silver trim.

I am naming her Joy.  That is what she brings me every time I look at her.

I have been having fun moving her around my living room to different places.

This sweet gifted angel ornament was in the tree at first.
 She also looked sweet with my snowflake theme to the tree.

She is totally sweet with her lace trim and blonde locks.

This is where she ended up.  I was also gifted this beautiful chippy sign.  She looks perfect adorned here on the sign.
My angel friend that made these gifts for me made my day.  I am so blessed she gifted me with these beautiful angels and sign.

My tree was too big to put in front of the mirror like I wanted but it does reflect the tree which is just as good.

I think it looks pretty reflecting in the mirror.

I also was gifted this sweet cherub pot and floral vignette from a dear friend at my girlfriend party.  Very soft and pretty in my decor.

Well sweet blogging angels.  I will be signing off until the first of the new year.  

I need some down time to enjoy the last few days before Christmas and to have some time with my family.

Just a short blogging break.  
I will be back in January to show you how a wall can come down and open up my tiny rooms into a more open concept.

Let's hope this project goes smoothly.  Terry has the tools ready and has thought this out.  

 I think we will be off to a great start on this project come January.

Love you all and wish all of you a
Very Merry Christmas.
XOXO
Kris

Santa Visit

Hello.  Happy Weekend. 

 I know all of you are busy with baking, shopping, wrapping and last minute decorating so I will keep this post short.

Our special little guy Buddy had a visit with Santa and I wanted to share the precious pictures.

Buddy was not too sure about this guy with the beard but warm up to him quickly.

Buddy had on his new green sweater to meet Santa.  He wanted to look his best!

Buddy was very excited to tell Santa his wish list for Christmas.  Santa told him since he has been such a good boy that he will be getting some nice treats under the tree this year.

Just wanted to take a little break from this busy time of year to say Hi and share Buddy with Santa.

I am enjoying having all my shopping and wrapping done and most of the baking of cookies done.

Now I can just enjoy the few days left until the big day arrives.
Have a great Weekend.
Hugs,
Kris

Living Room Christmas Tree

Hi Everyone.

Hope the baking, shopping, wrapping and final decorating is all going good and you are enjoying all of it.

I know I have said this many times but this time of year goes to quickly.

Here is my living room tree.

I have always wanted a noble fir tree.  I love the long branches and the natural look.  I found this one about a week ago at the Home Store.  All trees were 50% off.

I decided to keep the decor on the tree simple.  This tree is so pretty just by itself with just the lights.  I added the snowflakes to give it a little bling and of course my lucky nest I made.

The branches feel real.  Such a pretty tree with the two colors of green.

Here it is lights on at night.  It gives off a really pretty glow.  Looks so bright in this picture but the lights are pretty subtle. 

I have snowflakes from the dollar store hanging with white ribbon from the shutters.

The tree came with lots of realistic pinecones on the branches.  I was going to take them off but when I got it set up I loved them for a realistic look.

The snowflake theme was pretty easy and inexpensive to create.  Dollar store big snowflakes and little snowflakes for ornaments were from Walmart.  Twenty four snowflakes in a package for $2.98.

Enjoy the rest of the week.
Wish this time of year did not go so quickly.
Hugs,
Kris

Christmas Kitchen Decor

Hello Sweet Blogger Friends.

Hope all your baking, shopping, wrapping, Christmas Card writing and all other holiday things are going well.

This time of year goes so fast.

Trying to enjoy all the days leading up to the big day.

Thought I would show some of my Christmas decor in the kitchen.

With having a very tiny house I tried to get a festive look for this small space.

Remember these sweet little birds I got at Target last year.  Love these little birds.   Target had some really cute ones for this year too but I resisted and stayed with just these.

I just love these sweet birds and how they are dressed for winter.

I have them on one of my shelves in the kitchen.

I added some little fairy lights to have them shine at night.

This is my kitchen tree with the lights on.  I did a snowflake kisses theme on this tree.

Here is my tree without the lights on during the day in the kitchen.  

Even with my girls grown and out of the house I still get out my elf on the shelf.  He is sitting in my kitchen Christmas tree keeping an eye on little Buddy and Terry now!!!!

This was my Elf at my Girlfriend Christmas Party waiting for the naughty girls to come and take a kiss!!!

This is my watering can all done up with Christmas and winter flowers on my kitchen island.

My sweet kitchen cherub.  No facial changes with this cherub like the outside garden one!

I put up a half wreath on the back door and underneath a wooden tree with greens and a cute bell.

My small house sign and below it is a Christmas wreath and Buddy's stocking.

Hope you liked the tour of my kitchen Christmas decor.  With decorating in a small space I have to live with "less is more".

Hope you all are having lots of fun as we head on down to Christmas.
I baked yesterday all day.  Got 5 kinds of cookies baked.  The house smelled so good.

Have a great weekend.
Hugs,
Kris

Outside Christmas Decorations

Hello Everyone.

Hope you are enjoying baking, gift buying, wrapping and decorating for the big day.

This time of year goes so quickly.

I have the outside of the house done up for Christmas.  I wish I would have taken pics last week when we got 10 inches of snow.  It looked so pretty with the snow covering and the lights at night. 

So ignore all the dead leaves and things that were under the snow in the garden.

Front of the house with decor.  It was so much prettier with snow covering the ground.  Even though we hate getting snow it does make every thing look prettier in the garden areas.  Otherwise things are just dirty and dead looking.  I miss seeing all my pretty summer flowers.

Ahhhh Memories!

House at night.

Front Door Angel Wings

My spindle tree sits on an old chippy bench with an old suitcase above that and my old clock.

I added my old clock to give some height to the tree.

My Spindle Tree with the lights on at night.

Each window out front got a pretty wreath and flower boxes got a nice set of greens, pinecones and automatic candles that flicker at night.

Bike with lights on at night.

Bike basket at night.

This is my cherub bird feeder that is in the garden.  I noticed something interesting after taking these pictures.  Look at the Cherub's face in this daytime picture and then go down to the next picture and looks at his expression on the night time picture.

I will let you draw your on conclusion on his changing expressions!!!!!

I will end on that note.  As you go about your day today have a great one.  I will have more inside decor pictures soon.

Hugs,

Kris
