Christmas Bedroom with Baby Carter


   Hi there..

  My new camera arrived and it took me a few days to figure out how to use it.  Its my first slr or I think thats what ya call it :-)  Cannon Rebel- so those who know about cameras will know what it is.

 anyway- on auto it works great so I wont try to get to techie with it. I did have to learn out to make the flash stay off...

    Welcome to my 2015 Christmas Bedroom and my newest baby who I have named Carter, becuase Sheila is a wonderful lady and her grandbaby Carter has been ill recently...

  More Photos- Less Talking lol..

 I just used a lil tree I got from Ballards last year when they went on clearance sale. I was amazed when I opened the box and saw how real it looked and felt...

Lovin the pillow from Pottery Barn. I've wanted one since they first came out.
 I lucked out finding red n white gingham check ribbon for my wreath and tree.
I like a lil country in my home, to go along with the cottagy look.


 I participated in a Secret Santa on a forum I belong to and the 3 photos below show the homemade ornaments my SS sent me.  Little Angels made from ribbon, which I will be trying to make myself next year:-)
beads and greenery inside these glass ornaments.
she did such a great job.. love them.

what tiny tree wouldnt be prettier with white stars and red balls.

little people in the pines on the bench below, with buffalo check pillows.

now on to my star attraction, Baby Carter. 
born:: 12/ 7/ 2015
21 inches long
6 lbs. 3 oz of total cuddleness:)
 when I've had folks here they always look down the hall, cause my room is open to it and most say SHHHHHH... omgoodness we didnt know you had a new baby.. or shhh be quiet the baby is sleeping.  so I whisper too just so they dont feel silly.. lol lol

 yes she'll be someones belated Christmas present , as she wont be shipped till mid january.
isnt a baby under the tree what so many folks hope to find.
To me she says Peace to all Mankind.. 

I am so grateful you visited me here on Dream Lane and I hope you enjoyed seeing my Christmas Bedroom and Baby.

Holiday Blessings to each and every one of you ~!

I've Been Wrapping


 Hi There ,

 I've been wrapping some of our packages and thought I'd share. I'm not nearly done but this is the basic theme of them all..

  Yes, for ya'll who may notice I did change the draperies so they flow long with our Christmas Theme, which is sorta, Dickenish:)    with a bit of Nell Hill mixed in lol...

 I hope you all are having a wonderful day..  Its day 2 of rain and clouds in NC so excuse the bad lighting and my slightly shaky had..

 Odd that I can see more in a photo than I can with my nekkie eye so the chair n package photo will be getting some pops of red and green, later..





 so much more decorating to do there.  I hope you'll keep checking in for snaps of more projects I complete.. I mean seriously, If no one sees all this I'll feel kinda sad:)

  Off to make cranberry muffins for tomorrows breakfast.  Ham and Cheese omelets , some fresh chopped fruit , with 3 very special folks to join me for brunch.    Hopefully a nice friendly game of rummy after that..    I'll let Home Alone play softly inn the background just to add some holiday spirit to the day...  wish Ya'll could be here too..

 We'll Leave a Light on for Ya~!!!

 as always, thanks so much for visiting me..   Means more to me than I can express.

Looking a Lil Like Christmas


 Hi Folks..

   Its been awhile but I have been so busy in the real world it only left time to visit some of ya'll.
  I bought a new rental home, folks have already moved in, yeaaaaaaa...  I got contact lenses and I am thrilled with them..  No longer a slave to hunting for my glasses .  Its an amazing thing, for sure.


 I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving, we sure did.   I was a good girl and didn't over eat:)

  This year I decided to put the tree up first, get it like I wanted it and then move on from there.

 I wanted to share at least one photo with ya'll..  I wanted a kinda, sorta Dickenish look this year and I am tickled with how things are coming along..   Now I will admit I spent several hours looking around at the Nell Hill site..   I know lots of others BORROW from her ideas too , so I'm sure she wont mind:)  

     Today I'll do the mantle,  coffee table and the tv cabinet.    Maybe, just Maybe I can get the whole great room done so I can move on to the bedrooms:)    I'll basically carry this same theme thru the whole house, or what of the house I plan to do..     I'll just avoid the restrooms as a post title "Christmas in the Lew"  just doesn't appeal to me , giggle.

 

      I'll be back with more  as soon as I get things done..

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Sonny
