So Many Christmas Trees!

 At long last all the Christmas trees are as decorated as they are going to be and here is a round up of them!


My favorite tree this year is in the sewing room!


This small tree holds hand sequined ornaments.....


I bought these in a garage sale for next to nothing!
It broke my heart to think of all the hours it took to sew these.
Originally they were stitched onto a net tablecloth.
Back in Amber's Synchro days - I spent hours and hours and hours sewing sequins onto swim suits so I feel very protective over this collection someone somewhere worked so hard and long on.


The living room tree - which changes colors.
This is Louis Dean's favorite!


A tiny tree in LD's bathroom - and there's also a Charlie Brown tree on the sink counter.


Our white bedroom tree.....


and a small tree in the hall on a shelf.
It's lit with battery powered lights and I need to change to new batteries.


Guest room tree......


Kitchen tree....


Laundry room trees.....


Laundry room......


Santa tree in the den.


Another tree in the den.


More trees in the den....


The SIXTH tree in the den......


I bought this ornament yesterday.


The tree in the foyer.


And finally the one in the gazebo!

I forgot to take a pic of the one on the front porch!

I have spent a good part of this day finishing up the stockings.


I am LOVING these!!!!!
Our old stockings were red and white quilted silk ones that I made back in the 70's


I used name labels on wooden tags to hang on the stockings!

So now they are all hung and I am about to go out to the den and fill them  up!
I have a big crockpot of what Louis Dean has pronounced a DELICIOUS vegetable beef stew.
Maybe a fire log in the fireplace?
That sounds like a fine idea.

  7. So many trees! How festive! Your house is so warm and happy. I'm sure it's just like a big hug whenever your family and friends enter. I won't even try to pick a favorite tree, I'll just say I love them all. Wrapping gifts is a lot of work, so I think filling up stockings is a wonderful idea.

  10. I loved seeing all of your trees! I counted 22, if I didn't miss any. WOW! You should do tours. Someone we know has dinners/tours of his home around Christmas, for I think $40 per person. He makes a really nice meal and then you can walk around and look at his trees. I don't think he has as many a you do, but he has a lot! He also displays Nativity Scenes and Santas.
    I like your stockings. I have never done stockings. Seems I spend so much on the bigger gifts that I have run out of ideas and over budget to do stockings too. Anyway, how would I fit roller blades and scooters into a stocking? lol
    I do love yours though. So pretty. Beth J from Iowa
    ps loved your Christmas card. So glad we are friends!

  15. Well, thank you, Lord! I am glad to see I am not the only person to put a tree up in every room...and sometimes more than one in a room. LOL. I love your trees. Those sequined ornaments are a treasure. I have sewn a lot of sequins on to costumes over the years and it is a HUGE undertaking. The person that made yours had a wonderful talent and how lucky that you found them and will appreciate them. xo Diana

  17. To say you have a whole lotta trees in your home is certainly an understatement, Linda. My gosh those are some beautifully decorated ones too. We have never had more than a couple and that included one on the front porch.

    We have our big tree in the living room, a tree in Kyle's room, one in mine, one in Sarah's and my parents have a tree in their room too!

    You are the Queen of Christmas!
