Oh, if any of you tried the ornament wreaths, be SURE to use a hot glue gun to glue the top piece onto the ornaments. Otherwise, you will have them popping off right and left, and it will make a huge difference. The first one I did was awful. After I had done another one, I could see the huge difference. I wound up taking that first one apart because the ornaments kept falling off. So take the extra time to glue then together if you try this.
I have begun to take a few Christmas things out, but only the new things I have purchased, as our boxes are still up in the rafters. We will take those down tomorrow and get started on decorating. Here is a picture of some of my kitchen chairs that I wove a table runner through the backs of, and tied into bows. I love how this dresses up the chairs.
I notice this year that a lot of people are putting their Christmas decorations out earlier than usual. I wonder why that is? We were at Genny and Jake's for leftovers tonight, and I love to see how my kids decorate their homes for the holidays. I will go check out Erika and Jeremy's place this weekend too. I usually have some cast off items to give them as well.
So, ready or not, Santa is on his way................

Cute bows on the chairs! And everything else looks good too.
I need more Christmas stuff. I'll take some of thsoe that you are passing on this year!!
I LOVE the way the chairs look. Good idea! I have a feeling your home is going to look beautiful when you are done. My goal is to always have the decs up by Dec. 1. For some reason though this year I can hardly bear it. I WANT them up, I LOVE how they look, but it is SUCH a chore, and I have sooo many of them. I'm sure the day will come where I'll wisk out a wreath for the front door and call it a wrap, but not there yet so guess I'll be busy for the next few days decking the halls. Your right, Santa's coming...
Thanks for the tip about the ornament tops. I love your chairs and how festive they look with the red bows. Christmas really is just around the corner. Guess I better start bringing out the boxes and get on it.
Have a wonderful weekend.
I love your center piece next to your rooster lamp. Did you know that I have that same lamp? I got it Georgia and I love it and it looks good in your house too! It is the same exact lamp.
HoHoHO!
