Christmas
« on: December 02, 2012, 05:00:17 PM »
This is the official christmas thread for your decorations, home baked goods, mishaps, present ideas etc. 

I will start off this thread with a mess I made today making a simple bow for the thing I'm putting on my front door. NEVER EVER buy glitter wire mesh ribbon EVER!






Probably not the most flattering shot.  :lmao:  The phone camera didn't pick up the glitter all over me very well.



This glitter shit is everywhere.

Here is that bastard bow that made such a mess. I can't mess with it anymore, even though it looks like crap. Every time I touch it glitter is all over me.

I used the same stuff last year.  It took months to get all the glitter out of the cracks of my floor.

Here is what I have been working on for the past two days. I didn't even put all the ornaments on. I think it may be too much crap, I have to give it a day or so and see if I need to take stuff off. I haven't put the star on the top, put the tree skirt around the tree or push it back where it belongs yet.

I'm thinking it looks a little gaudy.





I bought a bunch of cheap Hobby Lobby ornaments because I wanted to go more of the retro christmas look. This one (the long one) cost me $1.50. But then I went to Kohls tonight to get my daughter some black pants for her band Christmas concert tomorrow and they had a bunch of mercury glass ornaments and other stuff that went with it and I really liked it. But I'm not taking this stuff down and taking it back.



H5 for anyone who knows (without searching for it) the significance of the pickle and christmas.



I also put together three of these wreaths, then when I came home a few minutes ago I noticed we had another light (I seriously thought that we only had three) so I need another wreath. I don't know if I'm going to do it or not.

This one is on the left side of the garage.



This one is on the right. I need to push the red loopy thing down more.

Everything looks beautiful!!!!
ummm the pickle, let's see, a kid didn't have any cookies or milk to leave for Santa, but he had a jar of pickles, and that is what he left for Santa..
And as for the Johnny Jump ups, a normally early springtime annual, do they bloom all year long in TX??

Wrong!  :-)

They are pansies called wave pansies. They are smaller than normal pansies but here in Texas you plant pansies in the fall and they stay alive until spring.

These aren't as small as violas. I thought they were large violas at first until I planted them in the pot and noticed they were called wave pansies.

Well if you look at the picture of my christmas tree you can see the back door open. It was about 80 here today.  It does freeze here but it can freeze one day and be in the 70's the next day here in Texas.

What about a restaurant gift certificate or something like it he can use to help buy supplies for his classroom? Often teachers appreciate the kind of support the most then a lot I smaller gift from parents. Just a thought.
