There were a few questions among the comments. I am not sure how everyone else handles questions, but I thought I would answer them here: (I hope I didn't miss any)
Comment Questions Answered:
- “This glorious decorating is all in your master bedroom?” from Bo of Blinks N’ Winks From Brown-Eyes- Yes! I love Christmas! I like to curl up in bed with the lights on in the room. For many years I only decorated “public” areas of the house……but the decorations have spread into every room!
- “How many trees do you put up?” from Kathleen of Kathleen Ellis- My kids help (put their trees up in their rooms). Total trees this year: 10 trees 6 feet or taller, 5 trees less then 6 feet tall, and 2 small wall trees (and I couldn’t do it all without my daughter’s help!)
- "Are those little frames you're using to put the photos in?" from Sheila of Note Songs - Yes, most are frame ornaments that I picked up everywhere. Some are simply small frames that I added wire to the back to hang from the tree. I add more photos each year.
- "Do I like horses?" from Susan of Grammy's House- I like horses but am not around them very often
- "It (house updating) isn't easy is it? from Sheila of Note Songs - No it isn't! But if it were ALL done at once, what would I have to daydream about? I enjoy the planning!
- "Where did I find the snowflakes?" from Kathleen of Kathleen Ellis - Would you believe, I got the snowflakes at The Dollar Store? They were with the Christmas decorations. When I picked them up my daughter looked at me like "Which tree are THOSE going on?" and I answered "placemats". Not everything needs to be used for what it was intended for!
- "Didn't you just change your blog header? from Sheila of Note Songs - Yes I did! This is my first week of having my very own blog so I am learning as I go. So far so good, but I welcome any suggestions and recommendations from those of you who have been at this a while!
I enjoyed reading all the comments left by everyone. It is very humbling to get compliments from the bloggers whom I have admired for a long time and who are the inspiration behind me finally starting my very own blog!
