Holiday Door - Christmas 2008

Dear Think::

While I am sure it is difficult to think of decorating after a wonderful vacation in the warm sun and beach(sigh), Have you made your door festive yet?  I can't wait to see what you do.

I made mine this weekend.  Pretty much my same old thing.  I took my Halloween wreath, smashed it up a bit to give it a new shape.  I tried square but it didn't work.  Don't you think square wreaths are the best.

I hung in my cranberry wreath.  I then added, in a total haphazard fashion, I might add. These holiday sprigs that I got at the dollar store. Oh yes you read that right. 100 pennies.  These holiday sprig things can be pricey.  Each sprig came with two.  I love the Williamsburg look of decorating and until I can afford to use real fruit my fake crystallized apples will have to do.


I then hung on my monogrammed silk scarf and this cool...

silver door hanger I have had forever but never know what to do with it.

I love it.  It is busy, kind of gaudy and just a tad bit me.  What is so funny is that if you look at photo number one, that to me looks kind of bare, that seems just like what you would end up with. Don't you love how different we are but such great buddies.

Can't wait to see your door!

Kristi, you totally tricked me with that first shot. Cute as it was, I thought, that just doesn't look like Kristi to me. And of course that's because it wasn't! Love the wreath. I'm with Think though, I don't know if that gorgeous cranberry wreath would work for me in Cali. Too warm, plus we have racoons doing a wong and dance number in our front yard every night. I wouldn't want them to think that we were enjoying that and giving them a treat!

I have to wait to do my door decor until we pick out our tree this weekend because I need fresh pine to make it work. It includes a Goodwill find. hee-hee! In my head it is awesome so I hope it really works out.
