We are decorated..

Hello all,how are you today?
Like many families we have our decorations up..took us all day to do.We don't just put trees up we redo the entire rooms...over the top maybe but its how we do it and always have.I made my wreath again this year.

 I got out voted by 4-1 on having just one tree this year..we have always had 2 tree's..the girls decorate theirs in the dining room and i do a smaller one in the living room..we have tons of baubles and tinsel left in the boxes probably enough to do 2 more trees..but they will come in handy and i won't have to buy any for years i hope.

 The mantel piece gets a quicj make over in each room as well.Below is the dining room one.

 Dining room ceiling filled with paper decorations..these have been re used for years and are held together with paper clips.They are gently fold up and packed away each year.

 The living room ceiling is filled with garlands that we inherited from hubbys parents when they bought new ones..these are about 20 years old now.

 Living room matel piece..the garland on the fire was actually about £3 from a florists in the sale's..i bought that about 10 years ago and its still going strong.Can you see the print of the birds on my matle piece,,it is a gift from a friend and i love it..it has inspired me to change my pictures in the living room from flowers to birds ,which i will do in the New Year..

 My little village is a mix of houses that have been bought for pennies from charity shops over the years.

 The girls tree all lit up and looking good.

 Even the cushions get swapped over..

 This is my little tree with gifts under it already..not sure if you can make out the straw figure at the bottom..it was sent by a lovely friend and in tradition it watches over the gifts.And the gifts were sent by another friend..thank you both they made our day.

So ladies are you ready..
