Our Christmas Decor

Took inexpensive poinsettia bunches and made them valance decorations.

MY FAVORITE LIL' EVERGREEN TREES
Found these amazing decorative trees at the local thrift shop....yes My Sister's Place
I bought 3 of them for a total of.....wait for it....
$13.00
1st one is about 5' 10", 2nd is about 3' 6" and the 3rd is about 2'.
I saw these at the local country decor store for outrageous amount of money.
They ranged from $35 for the smallest to $149 for the tallest.


Mini ornaments from Target with cute designs.

Chalet runner Target $11 on sale.
The ceramic glass balls on sale totaling $15.

Another My Sisters Place thrifty find....A Hallmark cookie jar....for a whopping $3


These mini ornaments are from Target hung on sewing thread.
A container of 18 for only $5!


Urn filled with cinnamon scented pinecones.
Mmmm...the scent of winter.

Good Ol' Baltimore, MD

This is down at the pier. They had entertainers.




This a fudge shop inside the mall.
They were amazing.
They sang as the made fudge.
It was awesome!!


This is on the pier of Cheapeake Bay

The Pirate came in. My daughter was so
afraid they were real.
We were in a resturant and we heard this loud bang.
It was 4 o'clock. Everyday they shoot a cannon at
the same time.
The baseball stadium.
Ahh, I wish I could say we were going onto this......
but sadly not.
Instead we had a 4 hour drive home.

This is a bridge from the highway that runs parallel
