December – My favorite month

Filed Under December 

Beauty snowman bird

Happy December everyone!!

Ever since I can remember, December has been a very magical month for me. Some have said– ok maybe true– that I was just wee bit over the top when it came to Chritmas’  raising my family. I so enjoyed the spirit and love that seemed to be emanating from everyone. Even the “bahhh humberg-ers” made me smile.

This season, per the norm it seems… my brilliantly talented and creative sister and BIL have been the inspiration of my first December posting. I am in total love with this fantastic Snow man and birdie Flag!

Before Round baskets

See the metamorphosis in the front yard circle frames? (summer, fall and winter) Pssst. make sure you visit Susan at Between Naps on the porch and her Metamorphosis Mondays. These items are never store bought– they are her creative brain clicking away and her handy side-kick hubby that makes it all sparkle and shine.

The spot where once sat the crooked pot project is now the fun Drum stack! (more on that DIY later )

Full Yard Night RS

People stop and tell them how divine their yard is — and how they look forward to the next seasons transition. They enjoy thinking of new yard decorations and being totally unique and themselves.

Now if that isn’t giving — I don’t know what is. They give the best gifts– straight from their hearts!

Winter Circle RS

Please be sure and stop by Marys Monday Mosaics.

I think we are off to a great start celebrating December. You will probably hear me be a bit politically incorrect at times because I will talk about Christmas (because that is the holiday I celebrate and love) I certainly don’t mean to offend any of you that might celebrate other holidays– but please be sure and share those with me as I am  excited to stop by and visit your corner of the world.

May the holiday season sing in your heart!  TTFN~~ Claudia ♥ ♥

    Wow!  What a wealth of lovely and creative holiday decorations.  I celebrate Christmas too though I don’t decorate the way I once did any longer because I just don’t have the time or energy … nor the help ;-)
    Hugs and blessings,

    Whoops!  Guess your site doesn’t accept HTML code.  Sorry for the confusion … such is life.  My Sunset Mosaic is at Sacred Ruminations and my Dog Beach Mosaic is at Small Reflections.  Happy Monday ;-)
    Hugs and blessings,

    I remember the post about the pots (don’t know how that got left out).  I’m so excited I guess I just skipped it.  Those drums = major cuteness.

    YOUR YARD IS FANTASTIC! I WAS WONDERING WHERE YOU GOT THOSE BLACK RINGS ( FOR LACK OF A BETER WORD) THAT YOU CHANGE OUT FOR EVERY SEASON. I SAW YOUR FALL AND IT WAS GREAT TOO. THE BLACK METAL  YARD  THINGS. HA

    Hi Claudia,
    I always enjoy visiting your site and seeing your interesting posts!  That snowman birdie flag is so cheerful and fun. I enjoyed the whimsical and creative items in your yard!  Well I’m off to decorate my staircase, so much decorating, baking & blogging, but never enough time.
