Christmas at Kohl's

I was in Kohl's the other day and I checked out their Christmas department.....
Take a look at these sweet ornaments....



Now don't they look like they were Blogger inspired?????

This cutie came home with me!!
Here are more pics of Kohl's Christmas department.....






I will start to decorate the upstairs in our home soon for Christmas.

I usually like to have the upstairs finished by October 31st and then I will just need to concentrate on taking Fall and Halloween decorations down and decorating for Christmas downstairs.....

I have a new white tree that I bought on Clearance last year and can not wait to put it up and decorate it. It will be going in the guest room.

Right now I have my Harvest Tree all decorated in my Living Room.....

 And my Halloween Tree in my Dining Room....

Please visit my regular blog, Debbie-Dabble, to see more of my Autumn and Halloween decorations.

Review of Christmas Cottage Journal....

 I received  my issue of The Christmas Cottage Journal through the mail yesterday and squealed with delight!!
I subscribe to this magazine for Half the Price of what you would pay for the 4 issues in a year at News Stand prices . I think it is well worth it.......

It is filled with so much eye candy...

I chose some of my favorites from the magazine to share with you and will simply let the pictures do the talking.......

ENJOY!!!!
