A Little Holiday Cheer

If you have been reading this blog you know that I have 2 very active cats.




I tried to wrap some gifts the other night but Binx was having none of it.
So, we decided not to even attempt a tree. I did put the lights up on my mantle and strung a few ornaments up out of harms way.



I have a collection of pressed glass biscuit jars that reside here. They make the lights very sparkly. The blue ornament is the only handmade one. It is origami that I received from Heidi from Heidi Stitches When She Can. She puts up an amazing origami tree at Christmas.
That is it for now. Off to a long day at both jobs but looking forward to some fun tomorrow!

Hugs!

haha! I know what you mean about trying to wrap gifts and having the kitties "help."

I usually only put ornaments on the tree that won't break, or if they do, ones I don't care about.

Last year I was lazy and put a billion lights and barely any ornaments. lol Looked great in the window at night!!

Happy Holidays, Chris :)

OH that picture reminds me so much of my Bogey. He would "help" me wrap gifts just like Binx is helping you. :o) Love your mantel - I really need to get this place decorated. See you at Mimi's tomorrow!
