Christmas in July/Aug (Day#4) Family Room

Well we are finally back from vacation (after
almost 3 weeks) & ready to continue our
home tour..Christmas in July/Aug
(Day #4) Family Room...

We start off at the focal point (the
fireplace/w handmade stockings,
wooden handmade Girl & Boy Angels,
handmade wreath/garland w/mini
lights, & homemade cat w/oval
patchwork quilt

Next is our 2nd full-size tree..This is our
down-home handmade-ornaments..mostly tree..
This is one of the Best Frugal buys..I've ever
made.. Reg. Price $200. I think its about 7 1/2'
tall (w/lights included) I got it after
Christmas for $20 @ Target..

It's only 3 pieces & pretty easy to put together...
Love it..as I do with what is under it..our sweet
cat "Ellie"



BELOW: Are blocks that I love to make & sell. Believe, Noel, Joy....


BELOW: This is one of my favorite things
to make/sell...Wise Men Still Seek Him..
on a charger..Self explanatory!!


BELOW: This is a wooden vinyl sign
w/overlay..I love 2 for 1 stuff!!
"Home..Where our story begins"
Isn't that the truth!!!
BELOW: A great little accent for
any room..Vinyl Stackers..w/a bow
to boot! "Happy Holidays" I have
these all over the house with great
different sayings....

BELOW: This is on top of our TV..
a series of Trees I painted white &
put gold glitter/bows on...Then I
had different colored glittered
reindeer's..I love the look..

And Last..BELOW: I love this that
I make/sell...And the stockings were
hung...includes 2 stockings!! For info
on any of the items I make/Sell..email me
Hope you had as much fun as I did
showing you around my home & ideas
I shared with you...Let me know what
you think!! We will continue in a few days...
stay tuned...

    I just love seeing all of your Christmas goodies!!
    I hit the after Christmas Clearance sales at Target every year. I am in heaven when it drops to 74% off and one year, I hit it at 90% off and they were bringing things out of the back that were never on the shelves before!! I was there for 3 hours along with about 50 other people!! LOL!!

    I love all your Christmas stuff! And your cat reminds me of our cat Rebel. He'll sleep on anything that's even remotely soft, and he loves to get under the Christmas tree.

    what a sweet kitty! mine sits under our tree, but she crawls all the way back to sit by the vent to maximize heating. if you can't find her, you have to peek under the tree.

    i see a lot of interesting topics, so i can't wait to check out some of your other posts. have a great week!
