Christmas Items at the Craft Fair....

  I am so sorry that I have neglected my Christmas Blog here. I missed Rudolph Days and all.

But I am finally starting to decorate for Christmas!!!

Even though I promised myself that I would be more organized this year, Crafting for upcoming Craft Fairs that I am involved with threw me off big time so I am very behind as last year at this time, I had the entire upstairs done already!!

So I will be posting here mainly starting in a week or so and not on my regular blog.

I wanted to share with you some of the Christmas items I made for the Craft Fairs. The first Craft Fair was last Saturday....

Angels and Christmas Tussie Mussies.....

 Some Music Sheet Plaques......

 Music sheet ornaments.....

 And Wreaths , of course.....

 I apologize for the pictures as I forgot to take pictures of each thing after I made them like I usually do....

And now I want to just share with you some other Christmas things at the Craft fair....

These are runners made by my friend and fellow member of our church, Rose Mary.  They are reversible and have Autumn and Halloween fabric on the other side so you get 2 for the price of one!!

 Judy, who also works for the same Health Care System that I work for and who is in charge of this Craft Fair ,makes these incredible Deco Mesh Wreaths....

 And decorates sleds and ski's. Again, I apologize for not having better pictures.....

If you would like to see more pictures of the Craft Fair, please visit Debbie-Dabble by clicking HERE

We have been having snow flurries today so I am getting in the spirit of Christmas!!

I have removed the Christmas in July party that I hosted this past Summer from my Side Bar and moved it on to a separate page that you will find up at the top of this blog . All the links to all the participants , you will now find there.

Soon I will be back to start to share my home all decked out for Christmas so please check back in about a week....

Hugs,
Deb

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.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra!!!!

WHOA!!

I just snagged my tickets for this season's Trans Siberian Orchestra's New LIVE Show!!

This is an all NEW show for this year......

Many of you know that we see TSO every year and this is one of our Christmas traditions.

We will be at the 3:00 pm show on Sunday November 25th in row H ( a little lower than mid way up) in section 103 which is right off the stage!!

This is the weekend after Thanksgiving so I will really be in the Christmas Spirit!!

If you have never seen TSO in concert, you are missing a fantastic Rock Opera  with Lazers, spectacular  Lighting effects and Pyro that is better than any rock concert touring to this date offers!

I highly recommnend TSO's Winter Tour to people of all ages!!

Please turn off my music to view the trailer for Tour 2012-2013!

Pay Dirt at Sally's!

Yes,  I hit pay dirt at Sally's!!!
 
 I went to Salvation Army today and was walking down the store long aisle of Housewares and Decor and this caught my eye!

 

Could I be seeing things but is that a Christmas plate mixed in with all the dishes?????

I took a closer look........

"Winter Wonderland"

And what a beauty she was!

This is what is on the back of this Christmas Collector's Plate........

Royal Windsor Christmas Carol Collection

  

 As I glance down the aisle, I see more Christmas Collector's plates......

Be still my heart!!

Not only one but 4 of them!!!!

And the price on each is......

99 cents!!!!

WHOA!!!

 

This is unusual because our Salvation Army is pretty pricey at times so to find these for only 99 cents is a huge score in my book!!!

"Together at Christmas"

 

  1989 Avon Plate

  

"The Magic that Santa Brings"

 

 1987 Avon plate

 

 "Home for the Holidays"

1987 Avon plate

  So don't you think I hit pay dirt at Sally's with these Christmas plates?????

I am thinking up to these great parties:

Christmas Cottage Journal 2011

Happy Belated Rudolph Day!!

I know... I missed posting on the 25th!!

Well, it was one of those weekend's where what I intended to do, didn't happen!

My oven caught fire ( small flame, no worry) but that lead to buying a new range, refrigerator and TV!!

Don't Ask...

Anyway, I got a bit behind.......

There is always next month on the 25th!!

In this post, I want to share with you last year's Christmas Cottage Journal magazine ...

I bought this in Sam's Club last year and loved it .....

I will let the pictures do the talking.....

























Then there is a section of recipes after all the Decorating Themes and Ideas.

Reminds me a bit of the layout of the Spirit Of Christmas Books........

I hope you enjoyed it!

I am looking forward to this season's Christmas Cottage Journal as I now subscribe to the magazine.
