The House that Christmas Built...

 Christmas parties.  They are fun!  The party I attended last night is party that is CHRISTMAS!  The decorations start to come out in October, except for the basement, which is left out all year.  This year she moved everything around! 

This party provides visual stimulation to the eye.  This bedroom is a bedroom of trees.  This photo was taken after I stepped into the room.  It's full of trees!












 Turn right in the bedroom, and this is what you see!
More trees!!!!

The main Christmas tree in the room!  Isn't it beautiful?

The light wasn't the best, but this bathroom is not usable.  It's full of Santa's!

Santas to the left of me....

Santas further to the left of me!

Santas to the right of me! 

And that's only two rooms in the house that Christmas built!

My Bead Soup Partner--Sandra Neights--aka Marabella Designs

I blogged about, and joined, Lori Anderson's Bead Soup Party. This is a virtual experience where we, the participants, are linked with a partner. My partner is Sandra Neights of Marabella Designs on Etsy, Colibri Designs on Etsy, and Sandy's Destash on Etsy! Colibri Designs is Sandra's main store right now. I wanted to who you some of the jewelry that is featured in her store.





























These earrings are simply called
"Melon." They have sterling silver earwires, and they look delicious!
















This bracelet is called "Butterscotch."
It looks nummy enough to be butterscotch! I'm getting hungry!















These Lovely Glass Bead Earrings are also available in Sandra's store. Aren't they beautiful?

Not only does Sandra make jewelry, but she blogs, too! Her blog is aptly called: Marabella Jewelry Designs. What a treat you find when you visit there.

Now, back to Bead Soup! It will be fun to see what my bead soup will be. I'll show you what I receive, and I will show you the final product! I'm looking forward to this. Thanks, Lori, for organizing this event!
