The Christmas Village 2020

Happy Sunday friends! This is our Christmas Village for 2020 .. 
There are 49 buildings .. an ice rink and a carousel included! 
Most of it is 3 layers high and it wraps around 2 Christmas trees in the living room 
The mayor of the village is always making sure things run smoothly 
This year we laid 3 strands of white lights behind the houses for more glow at night ..one of the strands is twinkle lights so that's even better !
There's Santa!

The mayor and the village watch dog .. :)
Mickey's water tower and a few Mickey characters are added for the kids .. ( and me ) :)
It is so pretty at night all lit up!
This  my husbands job for our holiday decorating ..
The ice rink broke this year .. so a new one was bought from Ebay .. which you can find at Menards 
You could go to the movies ..
or get gas for your car 
You can take a spin on the carousel ..

The Christmas Village 2018

 Good morning!
Here it is the Christmas Village!
 The little Disney area ..
 the skating rink .. the skaters skate :) I found this rink at the Goodwill last year because our old Department 56 one wasn't skating anymore and it works perfectly!
 The village surrounds the Red Truck tree and the Santa tree in the living room ..I put the trees up on Rubbermaid bins so that the village can go all around them ..  This is all my husbands job and he does a great job every year ..
 a lot of the houses came from the Good will .. and most of them are from Kohls, Joanne fabrics a couple from Walmart and a couple Dept. 56..
 the farm area.. the village extends from the far living room wall into the dining room and ends at the hutch in the dining room
 he uses boards, bins, boxes and even a few tupperware containers for height ..
 Ronnie occasionally flips her toy into it :)

 Looks like a Hallmark movie village :)
makes you want to move in!
the home tour vide ..
Thanks so much for your visit!

The Family Scrapbook Tree..


Good morning!
The family scrapbook tree is one of the 4 in the family room.. yesterday I showed you the snowman tree and this one sits on the other side of the fireplace..
 All the photo ornaments my kids made at school over the years are on this tree ..
 along with all the wallet size photos and some of our favorite pictures..
 For the ones I made I covered cardboard with scrapbook paper and added ribbons and buttons.. I think I am going to make a bunch more this year in a different style to break it up more.. The kids all love this tree ...it rotates so it is covered front and back with the ornaments.I bought this tree at Hobby Lobby( after Christmas sale for $13.00) many years ago ..it is prelit so every year I worry that it won't light up!
I made the topper from patterned cardstock ..using the score and fold method ..then gluing the ends together , makes a rosette.. A heavy cardboard tube from a roll of decomesh sits in between the 2 rosettes so that it can slip on the top branch of the tree... The chalkboard that hangs on the wall into the kitchen and a view of the fireplace and the 2 trees.. I made the tree skirt from ripped strips of muslin that I glued onto a tree skirt shaped piece of felt ..

Thanks so much for stopping by and all of your sweet comments!
