I will keep it short and sweet 

because I really need to get to sleep. 

So here is a peek at the door not quite finished 

last thursday night...

Deck the Halls Friday I am glad to be back!

Here is a peek at our entry last Christmas,

the photos are not he best but you'll get the idea.

I may have even showed this before but 

I can't remember! HAHA

I LOVE Annalee Elves

And over the years I have collected the penguins and 

polar bears, it's such a fun display for the kids.

This is my favorite piece I like to decorated

 it with vintage for each holiday.

The apothecary jars are filled with snow and 

a bottle brush tree then a vintage salt and pepper snow couple

those were my favorite things last year.

I put the Manger in the entry China cabinet each year

It keeps it from getting knocked over...

And up top is the very first bottle brush anything 

I did. The kids and I did the houses in '07

and the piece on the right is the first J. Nichelle prototype.

Don't forget to visit our

Where J. Nichelle creates on a Pink Saturday

Well here we are on a

Pink Saturday with Miss Beverly

showing you 

Where Blogger's Create II

with Karen Valentine!

Well I'm sure my blog post sharing our creative spaces 

will be unlike anyone else's!
I wanted to makeover my space,
but it just didn't happen

I wanted to clean off my table and get everything
 neatly in order for you but
No luck!

 dusted reorganized neat and clean, NOT here,

Finished and hung till they are for SALE,
 NOT quite

neatly hung spools organized by color,
IF only

One of my armoires refinished in 
aqua and white crackle to house my treasures
I don't think so

The mantle redone to reflect hubby and I's style
HE wishes...

All of our bathroom built-ins emptied that 
house CHACHKE HEAVEN 
As my kids have come to call it "where old 
unwanted chachkes go to get a new life"
they are working on a commercial...

finish the wreath  I started last November 
when I realized I had pneumonia, NAH

Get the two pieces of broken glass repaired 
so I don't have to dust the Christmas all year
That is just plain silly!

How about that new custom cabinetry made so 
everything is displayed so I can be inspired
HAHAHA

Well this is what I have to share 
at least it's an honest post!
I really did consider going and burying 
my head in the sand,
 calling in sick or even stealing photos of 
someone else's space and saying it was mine.
Well I've given you the truth and the
 worst at night iPhone photos possible!
If it were daylight you could see I have an 
ocean view out that window and that this is in my bedroom!
I am however grateful for the space I can call MINE!
Hope you have enjoyed laughing along with me, 
How else could I post my dirty laundry hee hee :)
Have a wonderful weekend!

Deck the Halls Friday

For Deck the Halls Friday we are going to visit

somewhere cold and magical...

Hi there, I'd like to welcome you to the 

North Pole,

I am been making sure Santa is getting off to a 

great start for his Christmas Eve deliveries...

We make sure the yard is all spiffed up, so Santa

 can have a nice Christmas without the 

MRS. wanting him to knock the Honey Do's off her list!

It's looking good and Mr. Frosty is back there

Keeping a watch so one messes anything up,

elves and reindeer can be quite mischievous!

Well it looks like everything is ready to go,

Sleigh packed - check

reindeer washed and harnessed - check

Santa showered and dressed with clean

 sox and underwear - check

house clean and candycane arch shined - check

yard lookin' good - check

decorations up - check

OK it looks like everything is ready!

Bye Santa, be safe and have a great flight!

And thank-you for stopping by,

 we love visits at the North Pole!

Go say Hi to Tammy at Tinsel and Company the host of

Deck the Halls Friday who is busy getting her precious 

kiddos feeling better.
Hi Emma, Kate and Logan get well quick ok!

Well, it's freezing I'm gonna go inside 

Mrs. Claus just made Hot Chocolate

 and I smell Gingerbread cookies!

Post 199

Wow that went quick!

So for post 199 it is only fitting it falls on Deck the Halls Friday

(formerly known as Holiday Inspiration Friday)

tree in my bedroom

Since you know I love Christmas I thought I would 

post about a few of my favorite things....

This is a peek of how the kids rooms looked during the holidays

Soda Icy pops candy land tree...

Her favorite Christmas friends on her nightstand....

And Gingerbread land on top of her dresser!

Fire Snails Mario Bros. tree, 

that boy loves his video games,

His favorite Snowmen on the cubes,

And his peppermint gingerbread land on his highboy.

Such awful pictures I know but I thought I'd share anyway :)

I took these right before it came down so It wasn't looking it's best...

visit sweet Tammy at Tinsel & Company 

for darling holiday decor!
