A Christmassy Kitchen

Hello, everyone...

 Don't you just love this time of year...?...MEEE, TOO !


I've started adding a little CHRISTMAS to our kitchen
and started with  ST. NICK, the BAKER.
 


I'm glad I started with him 'cause...LOOK....
he baked us some
BISQUIK DROP BISCUITS
 for breakfast....

oh, yes...I can see we are getting off to a GREAT start,
St. Nick.



I'm waiting for him to surprise me with 
GINGERBREAD BOY COOKIES.
......can't wait...
I LUV gingerbread.
(and, yes, if he DOES make gingerbread boy cookies, I'll  tell you where I bought him !! )
:>)


I think he has such a handsome face and if I wasn't already married to Mr. Sweet,
I'd wanna marry this good-lookin' fella....such smoooth looking skin....
and so......giving.....



I am also using this DOLLAR TREE CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE
CHRISTMAS PLATE
I created last year at DEBBIE DOO'S party.


This was such a fun project and very simple and E-Z.
I just used a dollar plate with little tiny "snowballs" around the edge...
a pretty GIFT BAG 
a little silver  braid (actually, the handles on the gift bag)
and a package of giant SILVER SLEIGH BELLS.



I cut out the CHRISTMAS TREE
and the little snowmen and glued them to the
white plate.

Used the braid for a finishing touch and

glued those giant bells to the plate and,

walla....
 
a cutie, not expensive decoration that I'll use year after year.

All the silver adds a little CHRISTMAS BLING
  to my kitchen.



I don't have HOLLY BERRY BUSHES at the new house......YET.
I will plant a bush or two and hopefully have berries next year.

'


 I'm not finished with the kitchen just yet but don't intend to put too much in here.

I am looking for just the right 2 ft. TREE to start a cute little KITCHEN CHRISTMAS TREE. 

I think it will be cute on the large island....










I added this little thrifted
wreath that I bought several years ago..
Goodwill, I think...

"Every time a bell rings,
an Angel gets her wings."

She's a little
old-fashioned, which is my favorite way to decorate for Christmas.
Red, whites, greens and silver and gold....
BLING...!!



I also hung the WINTER paper banner that I bought from
TINA'S daughter a few years ago.

I love this banner, strung on a pretty white on white ribbon.

Have fun decorating and share it all with us.

  21. Looking good bj ... that Santa is so cute and I am sure you love having him for company in your kitchen. I just can't seem to get around to decorating. Maybe when I get the house back in order, I can get started. Bad time to the have plumbing problems that required so much repair and redoing walls that had to be opened to get to the water lines. In the meantime, I will just enjoy your decorations.
    Hugs.
