Pretty Enough to Post?

Just popping in to say hey there.... and yes...I'm kinda missing my blog pals.
Having a great time here decorating and visiting with old and new friends.
Almost finished shopping, the house is stocked, the recipes are lined up and the social schedule is just busy enough to keep me amused but not send me down CrazyLane.
This morning I finally spent a little time making the chest in the living room look festive.
It's just an old glass column, some leftover ornaments that didn't go on the tree...and a few greens and sticks from the yard.
I like it, twas simple, easy and cheap...makes me so happy.
I like it so much it it inspired me to post...woohoooo!


Next up? The dining room table...hmmmmmm....I think I'll go find that old chipped punch bowl.
I hope it's pretty enough to post, wish me luck!

Oh Shelly...I knew you'd be back! You have too much to share.

I bet your house is a dream at Christmas as you are so clever! The chest looks fantastic!

I'll be looking for a picture of the dining room table complete with chipped punch bowl.

Happy Christmas! ;)

This is pretty! Why don't you come decorate my house for Christmas. You have a blank slate -- literally!

Jerrie - thanks honey...there's good spots, and not so good (messy).
Kenju - Thanks! I'm a little behind, but that's normal.
Quilly - I'll be right over as soon as I find my snorkel gear.

I'm glad you're posting again too. I was afraid you wouldn't be back until after Christmas.
I've missed you and your funny posts. :)

Meili lo - Aw thanks, but you just throw some stuff in a vase.
