Only 24 days til Christmas

omgosh! its coming up so fast, I can't believe how fast Thanksgiving went by. Cooking all morning, a big meal, then bam.. it's bedtime. Get up, have some leftovers for lunch, decorate some, bam again.. and the whole weekend went that way. I did get all my trees up- I have 4 trees that are decorated, then 3 smallish ones I put in our bay window, those only have lights and bows on them. I have the main tree, a Santa tree, a snowman tree and a gingerbread/baking tree. I think now that I have the room, I'm going to look into getting big trees for my assorted themed trees. Mine are all skinny trees and various heights.
here is a pic of the den with the fireplace, I have my santa collection on the mantel, and the hearth has my nutcrackers. This is the den I just got finished painting a couple weeks ago. so glad i was done in time. notice the cat that would not get out of the frame, down there in the corner.
Also- did you notice my new banner and background. I got the freebie digi supplies at shabbyprincess.com and I simply made my own background, and substituted it in the HTML I copied from thecutestblogontheblock.today is also the day for revealing our 2sketches4you cards. This week the sponser is Pink Persimmon, http://www.pinkpersimmon.com/ go check them out- the designs they sent me are so cute! Course I added some white dimensional paint, and glittered over top that for my snow. add in the KI lace paper (flipped over to be white) and the bobunny holiday cheer paper, some machine stitching and the usual buttons/hemp. with a brad and a little jesse james jingle bell button thrown in for contrast. Hope you like my card!

thanks for visiting, hope you have a wonderful week! please leave me comments- I love to read them!
