It's Magic Outside

As promised, here are our Christmas lights at night (the best time to see Christmas lights, in my opinion):

Baby tree

Come on in!

Happy holidays everyone! I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday!

Christmastime is Here

... And things at the Smith house are looking glittery and bright! While my mom and our friend, Marilyn were here visiting, we dove right into decorating for the holidays. I thought I would share some of what we did with you!

Let's start with the great outdoors...

A vinyl-sided gingerbread house ;)

Come on in!

We picked these wreaths up at Michaels for $1.99 each!

(we made the bows out of outdoor ribbon from Lowes)

I made this wreath out of curly fabric bows from Hobby Lobby

Little Christmas Curls

On the front porch

(I found the wicker cabinet on the side of the road!)

A garden ornament with snowflakes and glittery stars

The nest of the elusive Peppermint Sparrow

Our little outdoor tree

(it lights up at night...that will have to wait for another post)

Happy holidays to everyone! Hope your decorating is going well!

Summertime Moments

It just rained at my parents' house here in TN. It's so beautiful here after a rain - I just couldn't resist getting some pictures outside. Hope you enjoy!

Hope you're having a great summer evening as well!
