BooMama's Christmas Tour of Homes 2008

Wow, has it been a year already! I just started blogging last December and my first post was the tour of 2007~ it's hard to believe that we are here a year later! I love BooMama's tour because it is fun to look at all the beautiful homes around the country and to get ideas for decorating!

I love this tour because I love the holiday's and I love to decorate. I have to admit that this year I didn't really feel like decorating for some reason. I scaled down the way that I decorate but it's still pretty festive. I'm actually taking a break from wrapping gifts so that I can join in on the tour. :)

I hope you enjoy the tour of my home. Please leave a comment and say hi........I'm looking forward to visiting your home too.

As you walk into my home this is my foyer table in the entry way. This table is decorated for every season, it's fun to have that festive spirit as you walk in the front door.

This little tidbit is hanging on my wall. The candies are actually placed on velcro and have been eaten one day at a time, but this is how it looked at the beginning of the month.

This is my dining room table centerpiece. The farmer's basket is great for seasonal display's as well. Last year I hung my ornaments on my light piece. But this year I didn't feel like doing that and my daughter started to play with the ornaments and put them in my greenery. I liked the look so I let her finish. Not too bad for a 5 year old, huh!

This is the first year I was able to do a Christmas village. I purchased these pieces after Christmas last year and at the Department 56 store closing event at the mall. I found some pieces on Craigslist at half off that I am considering getting. The problem is storing these boxes. LOL But it is fun to watch the skaters on the rink and the lights flash.

And finally our Christmas tree. I tried something different this year by streaming ribbons down the tree. It looks better in person but I'm not totally into it either. I am thinking about buying some of the Christmas nets to wrap around the tree. The kids like this so I'm not changing it this year.

I hope you enjoyed your tour of my holiday decorations. Please visit BooMama for some more wonderful tours.

May you be blessed with the Glory of God this holiday season and into the coming year!
