A few Christmasish pics

I've been getting in the Holiday spirit lately. I'm usually kind of a grinch about Christmas decorating. In fact, this is the first year I haven't complained about putting up a tree. Here are some shots of the minimal Holiday decorating I've done.

I'm planning on making some mercury glass ornaments to add to my tree. The tree is a pencil tree my friend Jamie let me use. She moved into a house that had a lower ceiling so she traded me for my short fat one. Little did she know, only half my lights worked. I'm real sorry Jamie. Sucker.

I picked up this door at the last barn sale. It used to be in an old school house and is a beautiful gray color. I wanted to use this gear wreath on my front door but it sounds like a freaking car accident every time my kids open and shut the door. So here it will sit until I install a doggie door for my kids. Just kidding. Or am I...
