Decorating

Happy Tuesday to all! Now that we are all thinking of and getting ready for Thanksgiving, that brings the subject of Christmas decorating up! At least for me it does! I was kind of dreading unpacking everything and bringing it down stairs a couple of weeks ago, since I was counting on being able to at least live in the new house this year, and I even considered not decorating this year (OH DREAD), but there is no way I could do that. I love decorating for Christmas so much! My house ends up looking so clean and and different...it reminds me of a new house! At least for a little while! I get such a warm feeling seeing the soft glow of the lights and all the other decorations up make me feel so warm and calm!
I will be helping a friend decorate her house for a Christmas House walk the first weekend in December too. I am going to do her back porch, and help with the inside a little. She says they have one tree up and are working on others. One person helping her is freaking out a little about it not being done yet, but in my opinion she has plenty of time! I told her just have everything out and we'll go from there! We can make anything look good! We both have access to plenty of fresh greens in our yards, and Walmart and Kmart are close too if we would need anything! I will ask her if I can take and post pictures when we get done!
Well I have a pretty good start on a crocheted Sock Monkey for Christmas! I want to do about 6 of them for gifts and I think I shouldn't have any trouble getting them done after I get the first one done. Here is a picture of my progress so far:




Can't wait to get these done, I think they are so cute and they bring back such happy memories of my Grandma!
That's it for now!
