I am wishing you all a happy 4th and want to THANK all of our veterans and soldiers currently serving for preserving all the wonderful freedoms we enjoy. Since we don't have a deck yet:( I decided to revisit my table (one of several) from last year to help celebrate and show off our patriotism!!! I am so blessed to live in this country.  This table is FULL of patriotic love! The centerpiece is a vase of BLUE hydrangeas from my yard. I have been going over tyhere and cutting them, there are 10 bushes of them at the old house!!!! The white lanterns are very versatile. I placed a red votive in them for the 4th.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjztZAK83C_Vz3ypyi6BlBi7la0D-3fJbV-GqKnQqtdfeMjZN773s_VPcghHJrZ3fi2jARazKwEoUaWn7IftYOazqQ_RD_kKV0a7j280YTdUAPgI98NtbVERocddP3m1xQbkxT8J9t6P-Iw/s1600/IMG_7781.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjztZAK83C_Vz3ypyi6BlBi7la0D-3fJbV-GqKnQqtdfeMjZN773s_VPcghHJrZ3fi2jARazKwEoUaWn7IftYOazqQ_RD_kKV0a7j280YTdUAPgI98NtbVERocddP3m1xQbkxT8J9t6P-Iw/s640/IMG_7781.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgld8k_nQ0JihBuszs7bGkcy-QCGegOIrK2Yw5KM1uuoCLAA-LZshP1_6sKx3vbRjOdaGrhkk_n6_nT4dmkwCAkSQU6S6idg4H2fo0ymdLiBMveXA13m4RCrRmMxGooJdOa6vmoZuzFaZk5/s1600/IMG_7782.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgld8k_nQ0JihBuszs7bGkcy-QCGegOIrK2Yw5KM1uuoCLAA-LZshP1_6sKx3vbRjOdaGrhkk_n6_nT4dmkwCAkSQU6S6idg4H2fo0ymdLiBMveXA13m4RCrRmMxGooJdOa6vmoZuzFaZk5/s640/IMG_7782.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> The glasses are plastic but perfect for outdoor dining.

~~~My Living Room at Christmas!!!~~~

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Hello my friends! Today I am taking you on a tour of my living room all dressed for Christmas. There are alot of pics so please get comfy:) I hope you will enjoy the tour. When I said decorating here is like moving I wasn't kidding. EVERYTHING is replaced by Christmas decor!!!!! We will start here with the TREE!!!! It is a 10 foot "slim" tree. We had a regular one for several years but it was TOO wide for this space. It made it hard to get into the room on that side. My color scheme is red and gold, as you can see. I did this tree pretty inexpensively, getting many of the items on sale or even 75% off!!! Lots of the smaller ornaments were even purchased at the dollar store. Pretty does NOT have to be expensive!!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv9V4PHJsuSD_ErxJsFAC3hLkUA1GmUxs9A0tH793xUA1Y_xWslmmwpfD0Mx6ajSwo0szOdvh7ZWBBgGL95iSQ1ghUaYkf2kXIh9sI6o3W_0twuIbICHime0lxMIgNH7JAH7OHpP-TW6NC/s1600/IMG_0287.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640px" mda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv9V4PHJsuSD_ErxJsFAC3hLkUA1GmUxs9A0tH793xUA1Y_xWslmmwpfD0Mx6ajSwo0szOdvh7ZWBBgGL95iSQ1ghUaYkf2kXIh9sI6o3W_0twuIbICHime0lxMIgNH7JAH7OHpP-TW6NC/s640/IMG_0287.JPG" width="480px" /></a></div> I will take you down the tree in sections. Here is the topper. I tie 2 big fluffy bows near the top then add the sticks etc. The bows act as kind of an anchor for the other elements. 2 bows look like one big one when placed one on the front and one at the back.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkN6Hgmn8MS9mwqQ542kCTNF_8SLlsAd5RmR5S6cSctrFAUQOhwPU8k5ZOsC9dlx0PfCPSEKXb_iEPs_ItbVhnH4dJkDQonVK1Zz0T5BlOARPD4v77rry2cwVxEgZd-f0UXvLbx7AjtwHc/s1600/IMG_0288.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640px" mda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkN6Hgmn8MS9mwqQ542kCTNF_8SLlsAd5RmR5S6cSctrFAUQOhwPU8k5ZOsC9dlx0PfCPSEKXb_iEPs_ItbVhnH4dJkDQonVK1Zz0T5BlOARPD4v77rry2cwVxEgZd-f0UXvLbx7AjtwHc/s640/IMG_0288.JPG" width="480px" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5jk7gbhnw4gbNKYAzKiFhw_267EgehuPhG6q7LRq0kAPW7w116SOmLbGGYpUuHeIZfE5BdkXCFcBVHUFV_el5Pnbx6b6mYyvYROobIZMoQ7T2raRoeH5tMD88T2MLuff-ULBo14KCU_PE/s1600/IMG_0289.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640px" mda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5jk7gbhnw4gbNKYAzKiFhw_267EgehuPhG6q7LRq0kAPW7w116SOmLbGGYpUuHeIZfE5BdkXCFcBVHUFV_el5Pnbx6b6mYyvYROobIZMoQ7T2raRoeH5tMD88T2MLuff-ULBo14KCU_PE/s640/IMG_0289.JPG" width="480px" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-4OtP_vFddEsofQHQxrJDrnPQlpY_TbRoh3ZqoUYuvJjhAvp7mtYPpFCm-LcGR-wu-u72OZj6kfI6PuTTnafGoOuSy4uHZ_ccmu3BjyM9Ro0RFFhQqMNIp7MJ2-lu4Lb9k65otZ5bYojr/s1600/IMG_0290.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480px" mda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-4OtP_vFddEsofQHQxrJDrnPQlpY_TbRoh3ZqoUYuvJjhAvp7mtYPpFCm-LcGR-wu-u72OZj6kfI6PuTTnafGoOuSy4uHZ_ccmu3BjyM9Ro0RFFhQqMNIp7MJ2-lu4Lb9k65otZ5bYojr/s640/IMG_0290.JPG" width="640px" /></a></div> At the base of the tree, we place one of our nativity sets.
