The Last Christmas Details

A couple of things happened in the last week that inspired one more Christmas installment!

First, I had a birthday, and, with that, I received money and gift cards from those cheering on my new house habit! Second, more Christmas things are on a bigger sale at the craft stores now, so, if I stumble upon such a sale, what am I to do but look?! And, third, one of the interior projects came to a screeching halt (see next post), so, already being at the craft store and striking out on what I needed, it seemed browsing what is on bigger sale today versus last week was just the right thing to do. LOGIC.

So, here are the latest and, likely, last additions for Christmas this year! The exterior can only hold so much stuff, so I'm serious that this is likely it! (Can you imagine what I'm going to do to the interior next year?!)

First, I found a nativity set that I REALLY like!

Could it have more animals?! This was a mini tree ornament
set that I pulled the hangers out of.

I had to move the presents under this window to the roof to make room:

But, then, there was just too much stuff on the very front of the house, so I moved the nativity upstairs:

The presents stayed on the roof, though. I dig 'em there.

I also found the kind of candy canes I want to use next year for the walkway(s):

All set for next year!

And, I scored these bows to add just one more punch of color!

My super-favorite additions are the trees my boy gave me for my birthday. He picked out a set of three, snowy evergreens and a strand of lights, and the strand of lights was the *perfect* length to put on all three trees!

Okay! For real! That's IT because I'm out of decorating space!! I've so enjoyed putting the build on hold to focus on these details! It's just fun! But, some things have progressed inside! Take a peek ...
