More ChriStmas DecoRatinG~ The LiVinG RoOm..:)

Good Morning Everyone!!!! Today is a great Day and I have lots to be thankful for..Hubby got good news on his doctors visit..so God is so Great..:) I cry just thinking about this..this is the best christmas present ever!!! Okay whose ready to see the living room..This is our "christmas tree"(s)..I got these years ago at Joanns and we stopped putting up the real one cause of all the mess etc..the cats leave this one alone..so it is a win win..and no mess..I added that fence that I got in november around this and I love it.;)to me, its a winter wonderland..;)

this is cat tree..;) what did you expect?
this is snowmen and a mix of things..
this ones kind of the "man" tree..it has harley davidson..a sailor etc..;)
Thats mrs. Claus guarding the forest and bringing gingerbread cookies to the animals...My friend Kimmy made me this..:) she sits there every year.;) and I also have "electric sex" lit up too..if you are big fans of "the christmas story" you will know what I speak of..my grandmother of the guy that now owns the actual christmas house in ohio makes these lamps and she has one and so does his Aunt..so there are 3 of here in indianola with their leg lamps lit up.;)
thats our baby po-po snoozing by the fire..she loves to sleep like this..
Gracie all snug in her basket..her favorite place..
I decided to use my new/old laundry hamper in my decorating this year..and I love how it turned out..so I have some santas sitting in here along with some christmas books and I have lights in the bottom to illuminate the basket..
I have my stockings and one glove hanging by the fire as if to be drying by the fire..;)
that's it lit up..;)
the kids stockings are hung by the chimney..I love those big ones..my little sister made the kids theirs.;)
Santas hat awaits christmas day and he will be wearing it.;)
this is right above the couch.
a view from the front door..


I finished up the two stockings I made for 2 military members fighting our war..;)
here they are all stuffed and ready to go..I had 2 bags that our flannel sheets came in and I was able to pack up the big stuff for them..so they look like Santas bags..;) well I am off to get ready for the big day of window shopping at the gift show I am going too..taking photos to share I hope..have a wonderful weekend and thanks for stopping by..;)

  2. Everything looks so wonderful! I love the lamp! So fitting for Christmas. And the way you used the laundry hamper is such a good idea. I would have never thought to use it to decorate with. But everything looks so nice. You did a great job decorating.

  7. Everything looks great! Love the little trees. They are Puuuuurrrrrrffffeeecccccccttttt! I understand about keeping the cats out of the tree. LOL! Sometimes it's hard. I dont' have that problem anymore because of the Tattle tale device I posted about but before that it was a nightmare. Now I have 4 trees up in the house and none of the cats bother them. It's great!

    When you get a chance I would love to see the cats you have on the shelf under your cat nap in sign. Are they from Primitive Charms? Because I have some of her cats too.

  13. Glad to hear the good news on your hubby :)..Wow...what a view coming in the front door.you sure did work hard and it looks great. Not much going up here this year except the tree and a few other things since Nellie is coming home for Christmas. Kind of wondering what the pups will think about the tree since they have never seen one before. I will be taking pictures for sure :)

  21. I'm glad you and your hubby got good news! I bought a few of those tree a couple years ago also. I like them displayed together like a forest and then after Christmas I leave them out for a while and change the Santas out for snowmen.

  22. First, "her" and I would like to tell you how happy we are that DH had good news! That is the best present efur! So since you already have your present, how about throwing some extra gngerbread cookies over to us animals ;)

    Effurrything looks wonderful! Like we expected anything else! However, I'm going to have to talk with "her"....you see there is NO cat tree here. Now did I get ripped on the deal or what?!?! It should NOT matter that sometimes we prefer to be in the tree - a live cat does NOT count towards a tree with fake kitty ornies, does it?! Didn't think so. Maybe we should strike. You know withhold our purr motors for a week or something like that. What do ya think?!? Would it be effective???! Maybe we'll just move over there where there IS a cat tree. Can you tell that I'm feeling slighted over the absence of a cat tree at our house?!? I know....when "she" wants to get on the compurrter next time, I'm going to tell her I'm busy using it...going over to Gina's blog to visit THE CAT TREE! Ha! That's it, got a plan! See how smart I am?!? And ferocious, don't forget about that. Ferocious. Just don't tell Santa Paws okay?

    Purrs for the one who HAS a cat tree,

    Romeo
