A Litte Pink in My Office

Christmas in the Office.

This year I decided to change the look of the office tree.

It was white, black and silver.

I went PINK.

It all started with some pretty little pink ornaments I found at TJMax.

They inspired me to try a new look.

I used my all time favorite hat is the tree topper.

I also borrowed a few of my daughter's vintage pink ornaments.

The tree sits in the corner and you can see it out one of the front windows.
It glows.

I found a couple of paper card ornaments months ago.

I was not sure where they would go.

Now I think they fit in perfectly.

I mixed in some silver ornaments with velvet ribbon.

Paper clock faces.

Button and paper garland. 

I just love this vintage ornament.

I think my pink tree turned out so cute this year.

I am glad I tried something new.

It is getting close to Christmas.

I am hoping for a good snow storm for the kids to play in during the holiday break.

And you, are you ready for Christmas?

Arbor House Lane on Pinterest

I googled my blog.

Come on, you know you have done it too!

I know some posts are out there and which ones are the favorites,

but....

I was shocked by Pinterest.

I'm on it.

Well, not me, but Arbor House Lane.

I was tickled, kind of like being in a magazine.

But, better.

People liked my pictures and chose them to be worthy of pinning.

I did what I set out to do.

Inspire.

Here a few of the favorites, mine too.

My gardens.

Halloween

Christmas

My flowers

My funiture

 

Thank you for all the pins.

You made my day.

I feel like I need to be creative so I can inspire someone new.

Have a wonderful week and thanks for stopping by.

Merry Christmas

Christmas Past

I am in the forest of Christmas trees right now.

While I am getting the house all ready for Christmas I thought I would share some pictures of Christmas past.

The living room tree.

My favorite.

Each year I buy an ornament for the kids.

They always seem to find a spot, although I think it is pretty full.

This is the last tree to go up, we are waiting for Mr. M. to come home.

Our tradition is to put in the movie National Lampoon's Christmas vacation, get out the eggnog and put the tree together.

I add several strands of lights.

The boxes of ornaments are brought in for the kids to help decorate.

It usually is an all day process, we relax and enjoy the day.

Sometimes my sister stops by to put up a few ornaments and enjoy dinner and a movie with us.

Sometimes I like to look at pictures of Christmas past to see if I liked how it looked or to make changes.

If I recall, the greenery had to be moved from the chandelier, we had a few needles get to close to the bulbs.  

The dinning room tree is up and partially decorated.

I am still trying to work the blue in.

This picture was taken just before our Christmas Eve dinner.

Look at all the cookies on the side table.

The kitchen tree is done.

The poor thing is loosing all of it's needles.

I think this may be the last year, the tree in the picture above looks fuller than it is now.

I really do like the look of white and green.

Probably my favorite combination.

The office tree.

I have it up, but I can't seem to find the ornaments.

Hopefully they are mixed in with the living room ornament box.

This is usually how the house looks by the time I am done decorating all the trees.

 The house always looks so pretty at night with a fresh snow fall.
