Christmas in a Tiny Apartment


This is my first Christmas in the apartment.
It's not so bad.
I brought just enough with me from Michigan to
make it all pretty.

Here ya go...


Clarice and Mickey ornaments.
This tree use to sit in my dining room back home.
I put our favorite nostalgic Christmas cartoon
ornaments on this tree.


Along with the cartoon characters,
you'll find bits of nature,
tiny balls,
tiny candy canes
and many other tiny ornaments.


This is Emma's stocking.
Sometimes she sits near it and stares up at the reindeer.


 My pretty nativity.
The turquoise tree is from my son,
the picture doesn't show it's true color.
Turquoise is my new color for Christmas,
this year.


The picture shelf.
I finally got pictures developed for it.
Just need to add them.
The snow people pair,
I bought for hubby 2 years ago for the apartment.


My parents brought me tons of pine cones
from Florida last year.
These are hanging on the inside of our door.
I want to spray paint the frame a lime green in the spring.


I used more of the many pinecones on our buffet.



My attempt at a yarn ball wreath.
I need to run to Target to get more glitter balls
to add around the yarn balls.
I just need to find the time!

There you have it!
Christmas in a tiny apartment.
It feels great to me!

Have a great day!!!
Hugs!

Snippets of Christmas

Morning! I am sloooowly getting better and sloooowly pulling things out of Christmas boxes and decorating. I went to the doctor yesterday and I have bronchitis which is sticking around because my thyroid levels are so low that I'm having a hard time fighting it off. Sooo...this year I am not decorating as much as in years past, I just don't have the energy right now. I'd, also, like to thank everyone for their prayers and concern...you are the bestest!

Here are some snippets of what I have done...

A gift from my daughter, her boyfriend and my hubby last year. I LOVE it!

A little berry tree in the dining room.

From the tree in the family room.

We brought a little Mickey Christmas home with us.

Sparkly Santa, he makes me smile.
Today, I will decorate the last tree and try to put away some of the boxes. Tomorrow, I hope to bake some cookies for hubby's work party. I hope you're having a great time getting ready for Christmas!
Hugs!!!
