30' of POPCORN STRUNG...

Our Sandy had to string an additional 10' of popcorn 

to have this garland reach the top

of our skinny 7'-6" Christmas Tree.

That makes 30' of stringing popcorn...WOW!

It is a prelit tree and am thinking I like it just like 

it is with the popcorn.  

Sandy has other ideas and most always gets her way.

She will be adding our 'Memories Ornaments', while listening to Mannheim Steamroller Christmas Music...Now I need get to get back to work and do a 

little more decorating...

LOVE IT !

ENJOY THE SEASON 

with Peace for ALL 

and 

GOD BLESS AMERICA

COAT CLOSET DOOR WREATH...

Just put together this Grapevine Christmas Wreath.

Don't want it outside as the reindeer is old and in great condition.

So we agreed to hang it in the entry 
from the coat closet door.

I have seen this idea recently and I like it for inside display.

Sandy is stringing popcorn and listening to Christmas Music...

She LOVES this time of year.

WOW...That's one long Garland ...10'-0" +- !
She has actually made another, that's two 10 footers. 
So proud of my awesome daughter.

We will eventually get to making those smaller Gingerbread ornaments for the kitchen Christmas tree.

I love getting an early start ... I seem to fizzle out too easily these days.

He  is truly a handsome Buck...

Love this idea.

Enjoy the day and soon to be Thanksgiving Day too,

Peace to all & GOD BLESS AMERICA.

MY "Turkey and Tallow Berries"

Well, I was very pleasantly surprised  when I received all my DMC floss for this Delightful Turkey design...the colors were not as expected but they were the ones on the list.  
Since I love the design,  I proceeded with the punch needle process.

***MINE***

 I did choose to go ahead anyway as

I prefer muted colors (mine) VS/
the more colorful turkey's design.

 ***Theirs***

Not yet sure what happened...

 BUT, I LOVE MY

"TURKEY and TALLOW BERRIES"
For now it is tacked to a basket filled with 
what else??? Tallow berries.
Eventually it will be a pillow with black mini pom-pom trim.  Sounds perfect to me.

  HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE ...  

OURS WILL SURELY BE AS WE HAVE MUCH 

FOR WHICH TO BE THANKFUL.

As always, PEACE to ALL
