IMG_0002

Good evening; since I was unable to bring back my some of my large Christmas decorations, I thought I would share a few of my old ones with you…  I have seen some very beautiful Christmas decor on your blogs,,, they are so amazing.. The talent I find out here in blog land is so inspiring to me.. I glean so many ideas from you and your beautiful homes… Such love an care that goes into each home is just a treasure to see…  Now don’t worry dear friends I do have a small six foot tree and some pretties to put on it,,, my Sweet Hubby took me to get some pretties tonight,, so tomorrow I will be setting it up won’t take me long…lol but I am excited any way..

The photo above is of last years tree,,, I like to take some close ups once in awhile…  so on with the show……

This is another of my favorites,, poor Chas she is sort of lost in a sea of gifts the girls are so into helping out… what a mess we made…   OK I am done for now,,, I hope you enjoyed some of my Christmas’s Past… I have so many many more, but they are not on my laptop,, someday I will take time to scan them in.. back in the olden days, they did not have digital cameras,,, remember Film…. wow the good ol’ days… lol   I thank you all for taking time to visit, and I hope you all have a great week… Until Next Time; God Bless;

Hugs;  Alaura

Loved seeing all your Christmas memories. I too have pictures from the past that I need to scan. What a job but a good way to preserve them for our grandkids! Look forard to seeing some "now" pictures.
