We are starting to deck our halls but still have a long way to go! Here is the Gumdrop Wreath that Katie and I made. It was a lot of fun, just watch out for the pokes from the toothpicks and don't forget to reinforce the top of the wreath with masking tape before you cover it...
This is our "girly" tree full of pink and sparkle. We put it in our dining room this year and now, with the help of a few candles, we are able to eat by the light of the tree. Lovely!
This trio of snowmen has been with us since before Mandy was born. They make me smile with their chubby little chenille bodies and happy little "personalities".:)
On the other side of the mantle is this sweet gingerbread boy.
Here is our traditional tree full of handmade ornaments and memories of Christmas past. It's not fancy, but it's ours.:)
These cuties are on my dining room table. I love "winter white" and it's classic appeal. There are touches of silver and gold mixed in...
This jar is so fun to fill! Remember the sparkly pumpkins it had in it for Halloween? They are packed away until next year and now these ornaments have their chance to shine!
Some pics from the "girly" tree...
There is still so much to do! sigh... Stay tuned for Part 2!

Oh..be looking for a little thank you package in the mail ;)
AND I HAVE THE BESTEST NEWS EVER..but you'll just have to check out my blog..lol!
Oh Lori,
Everything is just adorable! I knew it would be.
I love the gumdrop wreath you and Katie made-I think it turned out perfect-I saw little gumdrop trees to go with it. You just get one of those Styrofoam cones and poke gumdrops in them with toothpicks-Really cute.
I love the pumpkin watercolor that my Mom painted! It looks so nice on that wall!
I just got up from a much needed nap-I'm so thrilled you showed your trees and can't wait for part two!

Lori! The wreath turned out great. The decorations are all wonderful. Looking forward to part 2.
Everything looks so nice. Love the girly tree! I have finally started but dont plan to do to much because I never get the help to get it all taken down. I get all stressed out so I figure put up just enough to celebrate after all long ago they didnt have all the decor we now have and they seemed to enjoy the holidays more. Blessings, Karen
i love your header!! it is wonderful!!
love the decorating too. i remember when my girls were little, they ate as many as we put on a wreath. lol
Hi Lori

Hello!! So glad you stopped by my blog, thanks for commenting! I love "meeting" other families, especially home schooling ones! :-) Your blog is very cute, I love your decorations and can't wait to make our own gum drop wreaths. The kids will be very excited to have this project. Your have such neat ideas, the snowmen were adorable. Can't wait too see part 2! Nice to "meet" you! Thanks and Merry Christmas! Katie
Lovely!!!!
I think my gumdrop wreath wouldn't make it to the door.......I'd be eating them faster than I could put them on a toothpick :)
Have a wonderful day!
Oh my - you have TWO Christmas trees? I have one, artificial tree with the lights already on it - so I never have to string lights on my tree. You must come to my house and decorate! Beth
Love part 1, can't wait for part 2. We are slowly making it Christmassy here. I am a little surprised by myself, but then, most of it is hidden in the garage somewhere.
