Monica's Christmas Decor

It's been a while since I've been able to post, but for three very good reasons, my three daughters. Wanted to share a few pictures of our decorations, the ones that I've been able to photograph anyway.

Our Advent Calendar

Tiny stockings made by my husband and myself in 2004

from gifted fabric and .15 cent tree ribbons

hand painted wooden stars and numbered them

Advent Stockings close-up

The bows are from our wedding, circa 2001

Santa and his sleigh sits on top
Painted little paper mache boxes and added ribbon for the sleigh

The Girl's Stockings

Made from the same fabric as the Advent Stockings

The Stocking Hangers

Have collected several angel tree toppers that

sit on top of some very old books that belonged

to my Husband's Grandfather.

The Kitchen Garland

(the same garland that decorates the stocking shelves, with different ribbon)
Also decorate with Gingerbread Men, but was unable to get good pictures today.

As a young family in the military we used materials we already had or that were gifted to us keeping portability in mind. You never knew if you were going to have a fireplace mantle so we bought the two bookshelves that usually flank either side of the couch so that we could decorate them if need be.

Would of shown the couch, but in the process of recovering it and it's not ready for the big debut!
