my Christmas....Idaho-style!

I have been so busy filling those last minute orders, that I am just now putting the finishing touches on my Christmas decorations. So here it is, December 22nd and I want to finally invite you into my home to share a bit of goodwill with you....

The first thing you will see upon entering my front door is my beloved Nativity - it is a beautiful Fontanini scene that Dennis designed a stable for. He built it several years ago from 100 year old *felled* redwood. If you look closely (to the right) you will see a little drummer boy and his goat (my Dusty) and a little girl spinning yarn (my Jaime)

my fireplace and mantle decked out! The word REJOICE spelled out in inexpensive gold-glittered cardboard letters from Joann's....


you know I had to have a couple of candy cane-carrying rabbits get in the act!
I made this Father Christmas years ago when I took a porcelain doll class - I cut up a real fur coat to trim his cloak with.



Dennis made this cool mirror from an old window and it sets the stage for my Santa collection in the dining room...
this swag says *shalom*


O Christmas Tree.....



I made this guy in the same doll class - he wears newborn long underwear!



Here is my favorite ornament of them all - doesn't Monkey look excited for Santa to arrive???
he's been a very good little boy....


Finally, here is one of Dennis's wonderful churches - he lit it from the inside and filled the planter with greens - it is the most charming greeting as you enter our driveway....


so from my little light in the attic to your home.....

I wish you.....


Merry Christmas and a Blessed and Happy New Year!
