It is rainy and damp here but that won't take away my Christmas spirit!!! Yesterday I went on a bus trip to NYC with girlfriends to see the show a Radio City Music Hall and it was fabulous. It drizzled all day there too but we had a GREAT day. Today I am taking you around the dining room. I have not done alot in there this year since our daughter is hosting Christmas. However I may add some things soon since my sister and son are coming from Fl. and I am hosting Christmas eve. So things could change at any moment. As soon as I get my SHOPPING done:):) This is the view as you walk in the front door and look to the right. I have a lighted swag to put over the china closet...<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdwS8n_VHodkE5UDKKEXSSB13VMp0_Yb6ndZE_EWsT5LKV7x14RA157PmU1g3D3cJv0bzwH_Zg1n8bbrl-TXjGXIC-P2gD_UuUv48gWH4RCwNCaqQV0XF_M1CmaTOcyb_01DWL9StfUCg/s1600/Christmas+House+Tour,+2012+002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdwS8n_VHodkE5UDKKEXSSB13VMp0_Yb6ndZE_EWsT5LKV7x14RA157PmU1g3D3cJv0bzwH_Zg1n8bbrl-TXjGXIC-P2gD_UuUv48gWH4RCwNCaqQV0XF_M1CmaTOcyb_01DWL9StfUCg/s640/Christmas+House+Tour,+2012+002.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I placed sparkly gold tipped greens on the window sills with the candles.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfjsaP5deMjpF_B_rpacmD8iO-DyMn18HJwiZH-jjTelmV9sevO6qHuD7Oiz2tL77UX50Iia-Mk-crSpHekF633j2CInrzqtK0mTvP0iOND_6gCmoLxC5McZUeIDoKDQ5ymSkl0tQd2lw/s1600/Christmas+House+Tour,+2012+003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfjsaP5deMjpF_B_rpacmD8iO-DyMn18HJwiZH-jjTelmV9sevO6qHuD7Oiz2tL77UX50Iia-Mk-crSpHekF633j2CInrzqtK0mTvP0iOND_6gCmoLxC5McZUeIDoKDQ5ymSkl0tQd2lw/s640/Christmas+House+Tour,+2012+003.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> On my TINY server I have my Sparkly Santas, 2 gold trees and some greens.

This is the EASIEST piece to make, here are the details: The tree is premade. So, I placed floral foam into my container and trimmed it so it stuck up above the rim of the container about and inch or so. Then I put a thin dowel into the tree and inserted that down into the foam. Next I used 3 sparkly gold poinsettias and pushed the stems into the foam. Finally, fill in the rest with sparkly floral picks and a few pieces of greens. TA DA, you're done!!!!!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT5zztWwSqLTFSPAvUY6tyltLp2lynkVPgqU9lwSjrSMyQbnfD_NGNcJcOXyc6TUvym-au631_speGif1lqbPQJRDVbUpIqHvuFoeTJlGj1ontZE9Ulo1g2FJJlZDKrNvGDqhEN6qIDGU/s1600/Christmas+House+Tour,+2012+011.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT5zztWwSqLTFSPAvUY6tyltLp2lynkVPgqU9lwSjrSMyQbnfD_NGNcJcOXyc6TUvym-au631_speGif1lqbPQJRDVbUpIqHvuFoeTJlGj1ontZE9Ulo1g2FJJlZDKrNvGDqhEN6qIDGU/s640/Christmas+House+Tour,+2012+011.JPG" width="480" /></a></div> I love these poinsettias.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2v70ztogdZiFHjkVWhi_2AKSSE12sPZM-qCS0j40eIul0gU3v8LNlT3EKOLP2haiEPy19l1ueYbf56hJ_uzBRTFQd2jK-A4OhDcPew60-uXIA6-ap-fDZ_vVZMhuBRWT79TL82LwddQo/s1600/Christmas+House+Tour,+2012+012.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2v70ztogdZiFHjkVWhi_2AKSSE12sPZM-qCS0j40eIul0gU3v8LNlT3EKOLP2haiEPy19l1ueYbf56hJ_uzBRTFQd2jK-A4OhDcPew60-uXIA6-ap-fDZ_vVZMhuBRWT79TL82LwddQo/s640/Christmas+House+Tour,+2012+012.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I had the gold urn for quite awhile.
