Buddy the Elf could totally live here!

I've been shopping, planning and building to today.
I have my crafts ready.
It's decoratin' time!!

The kids spent hours the other night making a million paper snowflakes.
The older kids even had a contest to see who could make the smallest - I believe Jason won.

We're doing a Nightmare Before Christmas/Addams family/Gothic theme.
In that spirit, this snowflake is totally my favorite!

Inspired by the movie Elf (and another blog, which I totally can't remember! Sorry whoever else did this - it was genius! I owe you one!!)


I've also made at least a dozen wreaths to hang on all the doors in the house.
And a few other places too.


Our baby grand is the perfect place for these wreath holding gargoyles!
And yes, that's Bon Jovi's Anthology - my Jersey boys!


The kitchen table centerpiece - a pirate bowl filled with cinnamon scented pinecones.


I love these silver jingle bell ornaments.
No enhancements needed whatsoever!


I found these at Michaels - $.59 each and they were 50% off!!
They just needed some metallic paints in black, purple and silver glitter!

'Twas the Nightmare Before Christmas
All thru our house!
