christmas time in the city

i finally got pics up of our decorations...

-

-

i wanted a way to display the cards we get

but not just on the table

but we don't have a mantle

-

so i got an idea from ballard design

and then copied it, but added cards

sticks from backyard

stuffed into a thrift store vasey thing

vintage snowman in background

got him for $4.99 at thrift

and he just needed a new bulb!

i could have chosen better things to attach with

but i had these paper clip doo-dads on hand

our tree

with the mustard yellow theme

paper circles cut out

then sewn together

to make a garland!

i used scrapbook paper and old book pages

our yearly ornament

from swaziland

the lid comes off

and the man that sold it to us said

"you can hide your jewels in there"

hmmmm...what jewels does he think i have?

angel made by liz in like 1985
