With Rudy Day just a few days away, I really need to start kicking it into high gear. With the big birthday bash behind me now, I can really start getting some things marked off my list. Dear Hubby and I are going to Boone for a much needed break so I will be on the road Rudy Day. And he will be with me! Two months in a row spending Rudy Day with Dear Hubby! Can he stand it?! Can I?!
I will be taking my Christmas Notebook with me. I have a few decorating dilemas that I have to figure out before all the boxes come out of the attic.
First is this area.....
Since The Wild One moved back home, some of my things from my sewing room had to be moved into different places in the house. I now have my button collection up on this computer cabinet along with my nesting boxes I made since last Christmas. I can fit the feather tree up there again but not the wagon so I have to find a new place for it.
And since last year, I have repainted this cabinet to have a red beadboard instead of white. I am guessing the red accents won't stand out as much as last year so I need to find/make some white or cream accents. Another excuse to hit the Hobby Lobby! Maybe I could put all my snowmen here together. Here is what it looks like now.
I also have gotten rid of this table since last year so I need to find another place for my wool table runner. This was a sofa table that was behind our loveseat. We gave away the loveseat so we could fit a wingback chair (mine) and a reclining leather chair (Dear Hubby's) in the living room.
And the biggest adjustment will be to accomodate the new boys and their wild tails! I don't know how they will react to a Christmas tree. When they get started wrestling with each other, they can be so much fun to watch ....... as long as you stay out of their way. Our dog fence is 80% complete. I hope letting them run in the yard will help them burn off some energy so they won't want to wrestle in the house anymore!
So far the fall decorations that I put out have survived. I haven't put all of them out and don't know if I will. One of my couch pillows has been eaten and a few other things have been carried around until they saw me coming.
Think they will grow out of it in the next month!?
Blessings, Cathi

I love the red background! I would be visiting my local Hobby Lobby.
You are going to have fun decorating this year!
That cabinet is great and I think the snow men would look wonderful there! I have two small long tails but they can still manage to cause trouble! Having an outside area will help, though!
I am so impressed that you plan your decorating! I just kind of hit and miss when I start putting things out, my motto being the less I put out the less I have to pack back up.
I think that snowmen would definitely pop in the new and improved cupboard. I'm trying to figure out how the skirted table and the cupboard are situated. Can you post a more panoramic view?

Love the cupboard! What a great colour :)
what a fab idea this blog is! Christmas seems to creep up on me far too quickly, though the shops here in UK are stocking stuff from about September onwards, which tends to make me rebel against it altogether.
Fun! Everything looks so joyful! Kerrie
