The Duchess knows how to do Christmas (Ask her if she can be hired to do it at my house). What a gorgeous door. I'm thinking I want to go home and switch my bow to the bottom of my wreath and leave some long streamers on it. And that train is just way too cute! I see where you and your sister got all of your creative genes. laurieBargain Decorating with Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13582640485560903639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445819367576845715.post-2370032723964421562011-12-07T13:42:04.729-05:002011-12-07T13:42:04.729-05:00Oh Debbie!

I just love everything and you can tell the talent for capturing the Christmas spirit definitely runs in the family! :-) I love the cardinals in your wreath and cracked up about you and your sister doing the same theme...sounds familiar! The Duchess definitely has some serious skills to and I'm so impressed with what is going on at her house too.

There should be a 'duchess December decor' award given to her!<br /><br />As to mine... I have 2 huge wreaths outside on the porch lanterns. They were 90% off of $59 each at Hobby Lobby last January. Problem is, the inner wiring won't go over the lantern, so now I have them wired and hanging LOW below the lanterns... too low... Not what I had in mind...oh well, they were sure a bargain!!http://bitsandpieces-sonja.blogspot.com/https://www.blogger.com/profile/09254831447887637714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445819367576845715.post-77473901204134074942011-12-06T19:18:10.916-05:002011-12-06T19:18:10.916-05:00Between you, your sister and your mother, all of y...Between you, your sister and your mother, all of you put a WOW on my lips.<br /><br />I would love to live across the street from any of you.
