1200 lights in the tree nearest the house, needs another string of 600 lights though as some of the branches look a little bare.

Looks a bit blurry as the lights were blinking at the time.

That looks good Michelle. I have been talking about putting up outside lights for over 20 years. I might do it one day.

All decor finished upstairs - have spent sometime today making fabric bunting for downstairs rumpus and back deck - will post a pic when hung  :)  :)  Undecided about the collage effects - used a sodt fous when creating the collage but to me some pics appear out of focus  :o

Thank you Kimmyh, the wooden toys which hang  each day - when we have guests with children I ensure that there is a little surprise in that days drawer  :)  :)

One of our town scenes was visited by Catzilla Saturday night.  :o  Unfortunately one young lad lost his head through the ordeal.  :(

Your trees are beautiful. We have ours up now. Probably the earliest we have ever had it up. We have a Lindt advent calendar. We got it in Melbourne last year. ( I think) and as DD and DH have a nice chocolate each night each spot has 2 Lindt chocolates in it.  :) :) :)


May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.
