| Our Fireplace Mantel...so far... |
I'm decorating our fireplace mantel - this is a sneak peek - I'm not done yet.
It was so dark and dreary here yesterday with pouring down rain as severe thunderstorms came through our area. But today is sunny and in the lows 40s so I plan on cutting some white pine branches and maybe holly branches from our yard to add to the mantel.

American Beauty, my newest crochet throw project, is coming along.
I'm on row 9...it will be 10 by 10 granny squares or 10 by 12 depending on the size.
I love it's bright colors.
Hubby and I went to Target the other day to get some Christmas stuff and we bought another $25 slim tree to put in our family room. The tree was on sale for $20! I'm hanging my vintage ornaments on it now. The other slim tree from Target will be placed in our living room.
These trees are so lightweight...and they don't take up much space at all in our rooms. And they are so pretty when decorated. We gave our previous large tree to our niece this year.

Well we much prefer snow here it's less messy but we can't always get it. Right now we're back with about an inch of snow on the ground down here covering everything so it looks nice. I love the red/white/blue look can't go wrong with that as they always say. Slim trees are a good idea. Our flooring won't be in until the 17th so we'll go ahead and do the tree then slide it over when doing the flooring. Nan
