Decorating Elves Had A Delay Today--Please Come Back On Tuesday

I had an unexpected all day visit on Sunday from my two nieces (five and almost seven years) and nephew (30 months old). I got a call early Sunday asking if I could keep them while she worked at the mall. I was delighted to spend the time with them, but needless to say it hampered my finishing my decorating and getting photos. They were here until around dinner time and by then I was exhausted.

I have one last day to work tomorrow to get some contest material in the mail prior to a deadline and then an office Progressive Dinner tomorrow evening. But, I promise to have this up by Tuesday. So, please come back.

I should have at least take pictures of the front of the house before turning off all the lights. I didn't even think about doing that! I guess my brain and body were both too tired to process that at least the front yard didn't have to be cleaned before pictures. My house is FAR, FAR from childproof, so Sunday was interesting to say the least.

I am so excited about this tour, even though I know that my items are far from the elegant things that most of you have. I love Christmas and all things surrounding the holidays.

So, yawl, come back to view my things. I am anxiously awaiting the unveiling of yours. And the day by day tour of our hostess is such a great tease and wonderful way to spend the week.
