Christmas Tour 2010 Front/Liv Room/Blog Hop

So glad you could join our 2nd day of our Home
Tour..The Front Porch/Living Room.
Yes we are having a Blog Hop @ the end..

Below is the pic of the Front of our house with
probably 100 candy canes/thousand of lights
& our spotlighted reindeer's/trees.

I love the front door of oval glass (a gift from
my daughters a few yrs back) So a BIG WARM
WELCOME to my HOME..

These are some of the items I have on the
porch.

I have 2 Huge Silk Poinsettias at the door

which dress it up a lot.

(Below) This is a mat that I made a lot of yrs. ago.

It's sorta like cross-stitch..& has worn pretty well.

I love this little gingerbread type house..

Welcome sign...

My front window is one of my fav things with 2

adorable snowmen & a skate "Welcome to the

Warming House" Sign..I got the sign @ Target

yrs ago..& the snowmen @ Walmart yrs ago.

This tall wooden Santa I made at one of our

Super Saturdays at church..

As we enter the house we see a wonderful 3'

Santa's Sleigh (that my sister got me for

Christmas yrs ago) It's one of my all time

Favorite things. I love the "Polar Express"

Santa" which talks about the Believe Bell &

the Magic of Christmas!

This photo shows you the Christmas Village wall.

I love it! It's so much FUN!

I always Love Carolers & the Dickens Englishness

of these particular carolers.

This photo shows one of the other walls..

Where my Nativity Collection is.

Like I said before I love carolers..especially

this wonderful girl caroler & English Lamp

post. She is still working after 15+ yrs. I got

her @ Costco..Also the beautiful Angel Wall-

hanging yrs ago.

Below is our real Christmas tree..We have

a real one in the living room & artfcial tree

in the family room (I'll show you in a couple

days) Looking to the right is part of my

Nativity Collection.

This is a small wisemen pillow I made

years ago.

One of my favorite things is the Welcome sign

from Solvang, Ca. Swedish Village & the great

manger scene quilt a friend of mine made.

Another favoite thing I love is my Willow

Tree Manger scene & the stacker (I made)

& the Vinyl tile I sell on Etsy.

This Manger scene I got while I lived in Australia

for 1 1/2 yrs. it holds special memories..

I love this wisemen photo & branch twig.

Especially this scene I love because of how

the Savior looks over the city of Jerusalum.

Also the Vinyl charger below of Wise men still

seek him. I make these to sell.

I made this a number of years ago..Supplies @ Michaels
