Merry Christmas From Our House

to Your House!

Morning Sweet Friends,

*

Hope you are all wrapping everything

up so you can just enjoy the rest of your

day and tomorrow.  I have a few small

things left to do,  nothing earth shattering.

*

We are having dinner tonight with Scott and Dee

 and a few of their friends and my sister-in-law,

so we are looking forward to it.  Dee gets off at

 noon and should be over shortly thereafter,  and

Scott will get off hopefully by 3:00,  and hubby is

 working at home today and will be off at noon as well.

*

I will show you a few more tablescapes ideas,

this one is very easy yet elegant!

*

All you need is a platter and Christmas balls

and  candle holders.  I was gonna use

smaller ones that I had,  but then I

saw an arrangement on the BH&G email

that had stemmed custard dishes with candles,

and remembered I had bought these glasses

of a ladies brunch I had once and I had used

2 of the glasses as candleholders then, as well.

*

*

I was just playing here on my kitchen table

cause the other table is set,  so I don't have

a full table shots of any of these.

*

*

I remembered I had these stars leftover from 

the 4th of July and they were the perfect

shade of red.  I liked that lil extra bling.

*

*

*

*

*

*

Add a candy cane to the glass or plate

*

Well, that is it for today! Hope I got your

creative juices flowing!

*

As you are going about your day

remember to count your blessings

not the things on your list!!  lol

*

Have a Merry Merry Christmas

Sweet Friends!

Love , Peace and Joy to you and yours,

Nellie
