Decorations.....

I use this snowman with the fencing to hide the humidifier. It works. We women are good at that.   I am thinking of using gifts to hide the humidifier and putting this fellow on the porch....but then again, old habits are hard to break.
 I will use this plastic cloth for a couple weeks. Because we eat everyday meals here.  Then I get out my nice table cloth. I will change out this centerpiece many times through out the weeks. I like to see different things here, on the table.
  It's a chilly day, but looking good. My oldest daughter's birthday is coming up and I will be taking a few things to her house on that day. So I have to get them ready.
  Hope all of you had a blessed Thanksgiving. I know that sadness did strike a few homes, I am sorry to hear  that. Let's remember our blog friends that are going through tough times.  Keep them in our thoughts and prayers. XO

    1. Nellie, At least it is a small start. I am getting the tree down from the garage attic today. I always let it be on the porch to make sure there's no spiders or bugs in the box. xoxo,Susie

  2. Yes, we need to remember those who are having a difficult time this Christmastime. There are many, and many who never show it on the outside.

    That is a great idea for hiding the humidifier!

  4. Juggling between being green and decorating decently is getting tougher any more. I got to say that you have great ideas.

    1. Munir, We have not had a real tree for over 30 years. Just keep using my poor Charlie Brown tree, with the ornaments my kids made when they were young. I miss the smell of pine. I picked up the twigs from our pines in the yard and put into my big flowerpots on the porch. I believe in using what you have. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

    1. Tete, It is cold here today. Suppose to maybe warm up again this coming weekend. Hope so. I can do the porch then. I do not put lights up, so that helps when decorating. xoxo,Susie

  12. I love the snowman and fence (I just saw a fence today and couldn't think of a place I could squeeze it in!). I love the idea of using gifts for decorating...stacking them up in front of the fence would work...like a pyramid?? I plan to scatter them around here and there instead of making a mess in my den as usual! lol!

    Love to you and thanks always for your more than sweet comments, Susie!! :)

  14. Yes, we are very good at disguising the unattractive. I'd never know what was behind the cute fencing. It seems that many of our blogging buddies have deep concerns so I appreciate your gentle reminder.

  15. Susie, I really like the red glass balls on your table. It looks so simple and lovely. They remind me of my mom's vintage red balls that she put on her tree every year. When she passed away, I wanted to get some of them, but never did. I wish I did now because they were special to me. Your red balls made me smile thinking back.

    love,
