That, and Sugar Daddy was singing carols. Sugar Daddy has had a long time repugnance to Christmas music too early in the season.
I decided to make all new decorations for the house this year. I really wanted a fun childish theme.
A few weeks ago, we inherited a bear cookie jar that was given to Ben's dad when he was born. It is almost seventy years old and absolutely charming. It was my inspiration.
I call it "The Sweetest Christmas Extravaganza".
I'm making silk flower brooches to tie on the packages instead of bows.

love, love, LOVE the mantle with dad's cookie jar! Just precious
I love all your paper decorations. How fabulous! I'm going to link. Your house looks so fun!
your decorating looks awesome april - wonderful job :)
Love the decorations! You have inspired me to do something different. Year after year, I do the same thing. I feel liberated! And, I love the idea of the children have a "free" day from school. Thankfully, I had very healthy children who were allowed to occasionally take a "mental health" day off. What joy you will have with a baby Bird in the "nest" this year not to mention a delightful little boy. Ummm, and I'd love to be a gift recipient with those great flowers!
Hello :) I love your decorations.
Will you post your pattern on how to make the Silk flower buttons ? and the beautiful wreath please ? (or just send me a email :) )
