Dressing The House For The Holidays

As you know..

I have been working..

and not getting nearly

enough done..

But here is a bit

of our house

dressed for

Christmas.

This is part of the

front entry hall..

To the left is a small

sitting room..

To the right is the

dining room.

A glimpse of the dining room..

table set..

and I am playing with lights

and camera settings..

and..

well...see for yourself..

I know you can't see them

very good..

but hanging off the sconces

on the back wall are two

long silver "icicle" tassels

from the 1940s..

they belonged to MyHero's grandmother. This is where the old stairwell

came into the house

and opened into the

old hall..

Behind the seeded glass

is a small library area

for the kids..

There is a pocket

sliding door there

that opens into

a small powder room..

and on the side facing you

is the landing area

to the upstairs bedrooms.And this little snowman

sits at the end of the downstairs hall

just before you come up the steps

into the main area of the house..

That is where the little

"nature" tree sits.More to come...but

right now..

I have presents to wrap..

and food to cook..

and hair to wash..

and..oh my..

do you think I have

time to eat?

Oh--yeah--

I can ALWAYS

find time to eat!

Trust me on this..

You know how you hear people

say...Oh she looks just

so "drawn"..

(you know..thin and "drawn" looking)..

Which, by the way, where DID

that saying ever come from...

someone drawing STICK people?

Well...you know how people say

someone looks DRAWN?

Yeah?

They will NEVER say

that about me!
