A Little More Christmas…

 

You know you want to see even more Christmas photos, right?

Here’s just a few more around my house.

christmas old chalkboard with tree

I had just found this old chalkboard with chalk holder tray, so I just drew a tree on it for the holidays.

 

christmas candeholder made out of thread spool holder

My hubby had recently bought this old thread spool holder for me, so I just made some beeswax candles and added a glittered crown.

 

christmas little chandelier with ornament shades

These little shades were actually ornaments I bought several years ago.   I just adjusted them by cutting off some of their pieces with wire cutters and put them on this little chandelier.

christmas breakfast oatmeal

How did this get in here?  By the way, oatmeal is not my favorite breakfast in the world, but I do love this Oatmeal Raisin Cookie oatmeal by BetterOats.

 

christmas bottle brush trees

Still love these bottle brush trees I bleached last year.

 

christmas white trees above hutch

More white trees above my china cabinet.

 

christmas you are here 2

I know you’ve already seen this tree, but here’s another little smidgeon.  Looks like that icicle was Made in China.

And a framed map on the wall behind the tree.

christmas little trees bed springs

I used some old bed springs and pieces to decorate some tiny trees.

Grandkids eyeing presents.  I had to sneak in a photo of them.

Kringle…Gangnam Style

 

Meet Kringle.

elf 3

 

He’s our household elf at Christmastime.

We’re grandparents, so he has a few more wrinkles and flaws than your standard elf on a shelf.  Or maybe he is just tired.

 

 

But wait!

Elfie Gangnam Style!

Entirely too much TV.
