In reply to Lisa.

Thanks Lisa…but seriously…you agree with my husband? But I’m always right!!! Anyway, thanks for visiting and have a very Merry Christmas.

BTW…just have to tell you, given your love for Country music, that before we moved to North Carolina, we spent 10 great years in Nashville. The first songs my kids learned were Waylon Jennings songs, they knew Waylon’s house by sight AND we saw Keith Urban perform before he was Keith Urban. What a great town! Who are your favorite artists?

These are great! I love finding different ways to display ornaments.

I agree with your husband on the advent calender debate. I’ve never heard of anyone opening the 25 first!

This is a great idea and I just love your advent calendar (whichever way you decide to start). So sweet that it was made by your Mom!

In reply to Nikki Frank-Hamilton.

Thanks Nikki! I strongly encourage you to give the topiaries a try…much easier than I had anticipated and MUCH cheaper than those you see in the stores. We have one of the ‘pottery stores’ that seem to be all over the country and I was able to get most of the ornaments for around $1 each! The dowels cost of all $3 and the plaster of paris was inexpensive too. Given the impact, the cost was really nothing. And thanks for your compliments on my jolly old elf. I am really quite smitten with him, nice when something evolves how you hope it will.
I do hope you are enjoying a good weekend in your part of the country! It’s a beautiful and crisp fall/winter day here in Coastal NC.

As always, thanks for your kind comments Nikki!

Lynn, I too am a collector of Santas and I must say that the canvas you painted is incredible, great job, so stylish and modern. Love it.

Now, on to the topiaries, these are so cool. I have always loved the topiaries I see in the store, but they are always so pricey. A bit too much for me to justify for holiday decor. I love how you worked through that problem and created some gorgeous works of art for you mantle. These are the perfect height and they pull everything together. I can’t wait to see the rest of your decor.

P.S. I am really impressed with your use of powertools! Love it!
