Love your "tablescape" Deb... :-)

Thanks! I was really pleased with the way it turned out. I found the placemats, the table runner and napkin rings at Big Lots around Thanksgiving. Gotta love Big Lots....I wouldn't have spent the money on the table runner in a dept store, I could justify the $10 at Big Lots though! :-) Found the napkins at Walmart.

I have found the easiest way to do flowers on the table is to just use glasses. I mix some very old "lemonade" glasses that were M's mother's, with some of my Waterford tumblers. Takes 2 Sam's bunches of flowers and 1 of baby's breath to do them, and I cut up a spray of silk holly from Dollar Tree. The little votive holders are from AC Moore for $1 each, and I've had them for a couple of years. (they are still available for the same price)

Next year, my only expense will be for the flowers.

I just love the Dollar Tree and Big Lots!! :-)

Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

Oh yeah, update on the light up/moveable hallmark ornaments (for those of you who collect Hallmark Ornaments).  They have adapters for the old ornaments so they now work with the new style lights.

The adapter looks like this:

Wholeheartedly!

The last two Christmases my poor Star Trek ornaments have been assuming standard orbit around the tree in darkness. :(
