    I haven;t gotten it all out the last two years but this year I felt like doing it. It was fun to see things I haven't seen in awhile.

    BTW The reindeer that is splayed out on the corner of the dresser is called Rhonda Reindeer. It came out when I was about 19 and the boy reindeer was Randy Reindeer. I have a cousin named Randy. Mom got hers when they first came out. That was in 74. She found this one at a yard sale this summer and brought it home for me.

    Thanks everyone for the nice comments. It took me three days to put it all up. And that was in between working on orders I needed to get in the mail.

    There are approx 135 angels and 95 reindeer. I don't have the bells displayed because I didn't have a good idea to show them off. They are in a large black iron basket ontop of the pie safe. So they are still out just not shown off like I would have liked to.

    I am my father's daughter 100 % but when it comes to interior decorating my mom wins hands down. Her house could be in a magazine. I guess I get that from her. I have learned alot of tips from her tho we still do things totally differant. I want to go take pictures of her decorations and show you. She collects elves trees santas(old and collectible not plastic) and she has alot of great stuff. I hope to run in today and take pics for you so you can see it all.

    That reindeer is an new edition. My mom got that for me just a couple of weeks ago. I think it came from Hobby Lobby. I love it too! I love metal things and I have alot of iron in my living room/dining room Or (great room tho it isn't high ceilings)
    My chandeliers are iron and I used rerod for hanging my quilt top.
    So I am drawn to anything that is made out of metal.

    I took pics of one of the angels I made for my PDA so thought I would add it here. I used to make angels several years ago. I sold some and there are a couple I wish I had kept but oh well.
    I was also into making snow men and stuffed geese that winter.
