This weekend went by in a whirlwind!! Yngwie and his friends came in Saturday to decorate the Christmas trees! It was so much fun having all these teenagers in the house, laughing and having a good time! While they were busy decorating I made some homemade chili, with all the fixin's, pigs in a blanket, chocolate chip cheeseball with graham crackers and a homemade pumpkin cheesecake!! YUM! All was devoured in a matter of minutes!
While the kids were decorating the big trees, I decorated my little aluminum tree in the kitchen. This year the theme is ELVES! I love elves and pixies and have been collecting them for years! Here is my first ever elf tree:
I love this tree! It truly makes me smile every single time I look at it!
And speaking of elves,
I saw an estate sale listed in the paper and yesterday was the last day and everything was half price, I had to go into work for a little while anyway, so decided to run by there on my way into work and am I ever glad that I did! Look at the elves I found!
A cute and sexy little elf lady on an ashtray. (Do they even make ashtrays anymore?)
An adorable little kneehugger who is already on my tree.
I also bought this little ornament
Isn't she a doll? and speaking of dolls
Too cute for words.
and these Easter chicks came home with me too!
Total cost of these adorable purchases?? $4.00!!!!!
Then on my way home, I swung by the antique store and snagged these cuties.
He is a music box that plays "Jingle Bells" Isn't that the cutest face ever!
Yngwie says this elf looks like he's up to something!
an Annalee reindeer!
I love going to the antique mall, you never know what you'll find
With so much going on at home and work, I didn't have time to do too much crafting, but made some headway on the elf I am making from Elizabeth, a Bluebird Papercrafts pattern. He should be finished tomorrow!
Hope everyone has a great week!!
Linda
