...the Cats are getting Fat! LOL. Come on, sing it with me!
Well, not getting, they are fat! Pushing those fat cats aside, I'm slowly putting up Christmas decor.
I got to putz around in the Studio for abit this morning. I put together this little ornament. You can't really see it, but it has a little bell at the bottom. Perfect for being Merry with.
I bought Santa's face a few years ago from work. He remains one of my favorite decor pieces.
As is this sweetly stitched Merry Christmas sign. And since I'm partial to the letter "M", it can stand for "Merry" as well. And I'm just a sucker for Holly.
Since allot of the colors in my home are red, it kinda lends itself to Christmas decor, which is fun.
I like the letter "C" too! And a mix of of decor. Vintage to new. Santa's to religious to snowmen.
You've already seen the entry way. But here's a funny secret. See that pretty red book. It's a good thing you can't see the title. It's not appropriate for the holiday season. LOL. I picked it up at an Estate Sale months ago and thought the cover color was perfect. Regardless of the title. A prezzie to the one who can guess the title. No fair enlarging and peeking either. LOL.
Well, I've got a few more things to re-arrange. A few more ornaments to hang and one more small tree to decorate up and I'll be done. Just in time to take it all down.
Nawwwwwww. I like to leave mine up till March.
Seriously. :D
Happy Thursday.
I vote for leaving Christmas decor up 365 days a year! AND playing Christmas music too.
Is the book, the joy of sex?

Love all your Christmas pretties! Really cute dishes in your hutch. Are those year round?
PS I no good at guessing. :)

Your decorations are lovely--wonderful reds!
I'm very curious about that book! I hope someone guesses the title soon:)

Cuteness! I love the cheery red :)
The other day I saw some cocktail napkins at the Dollar Tree that said "tis the season to be fat and jolly" which you reminded me of talking about the cats. Lol.
So the red book? I didn't peek, which might be very telling if I guess wrong, but I'm going to guess it's some kind of sexy umm, positional, book? Am I way off? Probably. Just seemed like the furthest thing from Christmas to have on display, lol. Eek. Now you're probably going to ban me forever from visiting or commenting, double-eeeek!

I tried to cheat, too, but that still didn't help! When's the "big reveal"? You know Cindy, I think we live in the same house, right down to our wall color, mirrors, lamps, black furniture and splashes of RED! I just love your cupboard, and that SANTA FACE, oh he's just too cute!! Oh, and talking of fat cats, they're stuck on me like glue!
Have a great day, girlie,
Debra

Where to start??
The Santa creation with the bell...I love it! I so admire your creativity.
The Santa face is just too adorable.
I love your hutch & all of the red & white dishes. My Christmas decor is primarily red & white.
