Christmas Decorating

For some reason I just can't get in the Christmas spirit this year!  I have the house decorated, presents wrapped, DH's staff party tonight, we get our Christmas tree tomorrow, turkey dinner at the in-law's on Sunday... something has to kick me into gear!  Meanwhile, here are some of my Christmas treasures.  Some are new, some are ages old, all are favourties!

A new owl for my woodland animal display.

Little treasures from my University days.

DH bought me this one year when he went Christmas shopping with some co-workers for their wives.  Everybody made fun of him because he spent so much time looking at the same Teddy Bears trying to pick out just the right one for me.  We are a match made in heaven!

My new amaryllis.  I just about always go for pink ones, but this year I decided to mix it up and get this red and white one.  You can't tell but the blossom is actually only about 3 inches wide!

Last years treat.  A blown glass snowflake to hang in my window.  Please don't look at the dirty window!

Blown glass turtles that come out to play with the permanent turtles at Christmas time.

And of course, who doesn't have green gum boots, a crown and a knight?  Happy Holidays everybody!

Happy Holidays!!!

For me, Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without my Christmas tree and my ornaments. You've seen some of my older cherished ornaments, but here are some of my newer ornaments.

I love the little smirk on Frosty's face!

This gold one just glows at night.

Who could resist a blown glass elephant and frog? Not me!

My in-laws have a red barn that looks exactly like this one.

Siamese cat and a Christmas tree with a present hanging below. I love ornaments that have attached ornaments.

Happy Holidays to all of you who celebrate this season, and all the best to each and everyone of you regardless of who or what you celebrate!

Can You See Me?

I have this picture of my blown glass ornaments as my screen saver, and every time I look at it I can see another reflection of myself from when I took the picture! So far I've found myself eight times!
