I GOT A REAL TREE THIS YEAR

⚡NO FLASH⚡

⚡FLASH⚡

BUBBLE LIGHTS , OF COURSE

THE OLD BABY'S FIRST XMAS ORNAMENT

THE BLUE GLITTER REINDEER AND THE GOLD

DISCO BALL ORNAMENTS WERE THE ONLY NEW

ONES THAT I BOUGHT.  EVERYTHING ELSE I HAD.

A POON TANG CLAN ORNAMENT I MADE FOR

ORIN A COUPLE YEARS AGO.  I FORGET HOW

I ENDED UP WITH IT NOW THOUGH...

THAT OLD BOOB ANGEL ORNAMENT FROM 

DAD'S THAT WE LOVED SO MUCH AS KIDS .

THE STAR WASN'T RED AT FIRST BUT WE

USED A PAINT MARKER ON THE WHITE LIGHTS TO 

MAKE IT RED.  IT LOOKS MUCH BETTER THIS WAY.

RECORD BOWL ON THE COFFEE TABLE

FULL OF SILVER DISCO BALLS AND ORNAMENTS

LEFT OVER FROM MY BIRTHDAY PARTY.

MORE LEFTOVER DECORATIONS FROM MY 

BIRTHDAY AND THE TRAIN GIVEN TO ME AT MY 

B-DAY GOING AROUND THE FIREPLACE .

I ENDED UP TAKING THE PINK ELEPHANT

AS A WHITE ELEPHANT GIFT TO FAKEXMAS

(BLOG ON THAT COMING VERY SOON!!)

THIS BLUE GLITTER BALL ORNAMENT WAS

ALSO GIVEN AWAY AS A WHITE ELEPHANT GIFT 

AT WORK .  (BLOG ON THAT COMING SOON AS WELL .)

I PUT IT AND THE TWO MATCHING SMALLER ORNAMENTS 

(SEE PIC BELOW) INTO A RECORD BOWL .

SAME STOCKING I'VE HAD FOREVER !

PULLED OUT THE DREIDEL SALT AND PEPPER SHAKERS

Birthday Decorations

A QUICK 'LIL BLOG HERE ON HOW I DECORATED
FOR MY BIRTHDAY PARTY (WHICH TURNED OUT GREAT)-

I CREATED A SECRET PINTREST BOARD THAT
ONLY I CAN SEE OF IDEAS ON WHAT TO DO.

I WANTED TO DO THIS IDEA WHERE YOU GLUE

SPRINKLES INSIDE OF CLEAR ORNIMENTS BUT THEY

DID NOT TURN OUT HOW I'D HOPED THEY WOULD.

I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS THE MODGE PODGE OR WHAT

BUT THE COLORS RAN AND THEY JUST LOOKED AWFUL.

I ABORTED THAT MISSION.  I ENDED UP SPRAY PAINTING

A FEW OF THEM INSTEAD (PICS BELOW).

LOTS OF CANDLES AND I GOT SOME YELLOW TISSUE
PAPER PUFFS FROM PARTY CITY TO HANG.  I USED THOSE
BLUE GLITTER BALLS INSIDE CLEAR ORNAMENTS.

I WENT TO A COUPLE THRIFT STORES AND FOUND

THE WHITE ELEPHANT AND PINATA LOOKING HORSE

AS WELL AS A COUPLE CLEAR GLASSES, ALL OF WHICH I 

SPRAY PAINTED.  THE GLASSES WERE PLACED UPSIDE

DOWN AND USED AS CANDLE HOLDERS.  I GOT THE IDEA

HERE, ALTHOUGH I DID IT A BIT DIFFERENTLY.

LOTS OF MASON JARS, SOME OF WHICH I GLUED

EPSOM SALT ALL AROUND THE OUTSIDE WITH A

TOUCH OF GLITTER AND USED AS CANDLE HOLDERS.
OTHERS I SPRAY PAINTED AND PUT GLOW STICKS
AND WATER INTO AND PUT THEM OUTSIDE.

YOU CAN SEE THE UPSIDE DOWN GLASSES BEING USED 

AS CANDLE HOLDERS AFTER THEY'VE BEEN SPRAY PAINTED.

I CHOSE NEON PINK AND NEON GREEN PAINTS.

I MADE BIRTHDAY CAKE MARTINIS WITH SPRINKLED

RIM GLASSES WHICH TURNED OUT SOO DELICIOUS.

WE ALSO DID PUMPKIN PIE MARTINIS.

THEY ALL WENT SOO FAST.

RAINBOW FRUIT AND CHEESE SKEWERS

DECORATIVE LEMONS IN THE FLOWER JAR IDEA

FROM THIS SITE THAT I FOUND ON PINTREST.

THE FLAMING ASTRO WEENIE PINEAPPLE

TOOK THE PLACE OF A BIRTHDAY CAKE.

I HAVE BEEN WANTING TO DO THIS FOREVER

BUT REALLY HADN'T FOUND A REASON.  YESSSSS!

ORNAMENTS HANGING FROM THE CEILING

MIXED WITH MINI DISCO BALLS.

I DID SOME FRESH XMAS SCENT BY USING THIS RECIPE 

CONSISTING OF AN ORANGE, CRANBERRIES, CINNAMON 

STICKS, AND CLOVES ON THE STOVE TOP, SET TO THE 

LOWEST HEAT SETTING.  YOU SHOULD DO THIS,

BUNNYBANANA.  YOU WILL LOVE IT.

THE FINAL LOOK OF IT

I HAVE SINCE MOVED EVERYTHING ONTO THE FIREPLACE
ALONG WITH A TRAIN SET THAT MY FRIEND LAURA GOT
FOR ME.  I STRUNG SOME CHANUKAH LIGHTS AND VIOLA !
BIRTHDAY TO XMAS DECOR !  I WILL POST PICS OF MY
XMAS DECORATIONS VERY SOON.
