Is It Glitter Time?

Good Morning!

Now that it's November I feel it's OK to start thinking about decorating for Christmas. 

Has your mind drifted that way too?

It's always a toss up between styles for me. 

I like the natural elements like fresh greenery, pine cones and the smell of cinnamon.

But then I love the sparkle of glitter and bright cheerful colors.

I'm sure this year I'll merge the two styles just like I do every year.

Anyways, that's not really what I wanted to talk about today, so lets jump right in. . .

See this adorable little guy?

I have a weakness for vintage deer. 

My collection may be small but they are one of my favorite items to use at Christmas time.  I'm always on the lookout - - without much luck most of the time.  I'm not ashamed to admit there was squealing when I first spotted him.  Poor Ms. Emily was so embarrassed.

I was cool with that - - I had a new vintage deer for my collection!!!!!

Now that I have a new Christmas pretty to play with my mind has turned towards how to use it. 

My favorite way is to nestle them in among my glitter houses . . .

and bottle brush trees.

Most of the glitter houses I've made myself, although I do have a few purchased ones.



I have quite the collection and I'm hoping to add to it this year.  I've saved an impressive amount of cereal boxes to make them with, even drafted a couple houses of my own and can't wait to get started.

(In case you missed last years posts about glitter houses I have a tutorial here and here.  And to see a few more that I have made go visit here, and here.)

I just have to finish up a few project I've been working on and then

WATCH OUT! 

It's Glitter Time.

You may not see me for weeks!  LOL

Talk to you soon, Robin

p.s. I'm thinking of making a few houses for a giveaway - - anyone interested?
