Holiday Copy Cat Wreath

  Hi Folks..

 its been quite a day and I am thrilled to be online:)     I woke up to my beloved toshiba fried and died and unrepairable.     I found a new one-- unfortunately the only choice was Windows 8.. ugg. this will take some getting used too.  Plus I went from a 19 inch screen to a 26 cause thats what came with the full pc package and it was twice the cost to buy it piece by piece....
 anywhooooooooooooo.. I got it all hooked up, made adjustments enough for me to download my art program, my camera and get internet up and running.

   I was so worried I would'nt get to play at DebbieDoos Holiday Knock off Party

  I spied Kathy's chair wreaths the other day and knew instantly thats what and who I was going to copy..
 Thanks Kathy.. I love yours~!   Her letters are wayyyyyyyyyy prettier but I had to use the ones I had onhand..

here's mine.     I had the grape vine wreaths,the letters, the bow, the pinecones and the beads.. Got the greenery from my neighbor.. 
  I did get my table done but it got dark before I could get any pics of that.. Havent had a working computer till an hour ago so I'll take pics later and show off my dining table and chairs I redid as well as my holiday table.

 

 Here's one shot of Kathy's but she has lots of great pics on her site so be sure to go and visit her.

 Thanks for the party Deb  and thanks for doing such a great holiday wreath for me to copy Kathy~!

Make the Scene Monday at Alderberry Hill 






thanks for visiting me....   Ya'll are the Best..
Merry and Bright to each and every one of ya.

 

Thank You~! I'll be back soon

  I'm on my way out for another day of seeing and shopping.   This time we'll be hitting some thrift store around the Black Mountain NC area.. Thats about 40 minutes west of asheville, so who knows, we may get there too.. No time for a Biltmore tour but the local shops are fun to see.

  I wanted to THANK YOU all so much for visiting my early morning family room and for understanding if right now,  I'm unable to answer every comment individually. I feel bad about it but so many folks around and so much to do- so I just can't be on the computer,cause its sorta Rude:) 
  I do appreciate your visits and I hope you know that. 

 I decided since we'll be in the kitchen quite a bit I needed to do a little display beside the coffee pot.   I cropped out the machine so ya wouldnt have to see it.   Holiday electronics just "aint purdy" lol..

 

~Merry and Bright to YOU and YOURS ~

Quiet Morning Christmas Tree

My guests are here but they are all asleep.   I thought I'd share a quick photo of what my view is, in the early morning as I have my hot mug of coffee.
 I have the fire going and apple cinnamon muffins are in the oven.   It wont be long before that scent has everyone waking up..
  The sun is just coming up and it looks like it might be a hazy winter day with temps only in the low 50's..
 We're going to see some of the local sites and who knows where that will lead us, so if I dont get to stop by your blog for a visit, thats why.

 The birds are just waking  and coming to the birdbath for their morning sip of water.  Its soooooooooo quiet..  Wish you were here~!

   I hope you all have a wonderful day~!
ps~  I was sitting at my desk when I took this photo.    behind each loveseat there is a desk and chair. The sofa's keep that part hidden and with the lamps they just appear to be sofa tables..  Just thought I'd explain that :-)  It allows us to play on our laptops without anyone ever realizing this also functions as an office for 2....
