It'll be a Plaid Plaid Christmas...


(Wasn't that an old Elvis song?)

I'm mixing it up a little this year.
I have a lot of "stuff", and there's no way to use it all,
so I decided to try some new ideas
for Christmas this year.







I've taken things I've used in the past, 
and put a new twist on them.



The Oatmeal Tree has a new look this year






New Pillows for the Sitting Room
and Living Room



My Frenchie Metal Basket
with Fruit and Hydrangeas




 Add a plaid ribbon...



duck, duck, goose...



My white tree from Fall to Christmas...




I love my birdies.


Lot's of this...


Some fun vintage baubles









Gotta have my Putz Houses and Churches.







add some Transferware



did I mention some of this?






of course there are my sheep



and lots more of these




oh, and even one of these from Santa Mom





I'm just getting started...
I'll be sharing a few things as I go.


Be sure you put the
Come As You Are 
Christmas Open House Party
on your Calender

We hope you'll come by to join in the fun...



Are you in the middle of the Christmas Decorating Extravaganza?


Have a wonderful Sunday!

    1. Hey Laura, I've been collecting red plaid ribbon for ages, I think most of it has come from Hob Lob or Michael's over the years. I always save bits and pieces and re-use! I'm coming by to visit at your place. Have a great Sunday!

    1. Hi Gisela, that pillow is from Pottery Barn a few years ago. I have similar pillow covers I still need to find!

    2. oh,, I just realized you meant the smaller ones on either side. I made those about 4 years ago with fabric from Jo-Ann's.

    3. Thank you, I will try to look for similar fabric, I do love Pottery Barn also for the pillow with the bird.

  3. Debra, there is always a lot of plaid here, so it is fun to see yours. Like you, I'm always picking up plaid ribbon and black and white check too. Imagine that? I've been lazy since Thanksgiving, but woke up this morning energized and ready to begin.
    See you at the Christmas tour. Our Texas in Christmas Blog Hop begins on December 7. Hope you will stop by to visit.
