~An Outdoors Christmas~

I apologize for my long absence. I have been busy working on the spring 2012 issue of A Primitive Place & Country Journal. I love working for the best primitive magazine on the market and one of my most favorite things is that we work a season ahead. So, even though the weather is cold and will get colder, I have already been basking in the warm sun of spring. Take my word for it, the spring issue is going to be wonderful!

Anyway, I thought I would show how we decorated the outside of our house this year. Take a look at the pictures, and I will tell you what we have done.

This is what you see when you walk up the sidewalk. The greenery around the door is a natural greenery garland that we picked up at Kroger. I love how it looks around the door.


I filled the door box with greenery that Jeff cut off of some of our evergreens. The pineapple is real. The berries are artificial. When we were outside doing the door box, I asked Jeff, "What do you think the neighbors think of us? They probably think we are crazy!"...LOL! Oh well, it gives them plenty to talk about. I love how the door box turned out. It was exactly what I had pictured in my mind.







I also put a little greenery on the porch of the log cabin that sits on our front porch.



I added some greenery to a barrel that we had and some to a sled that belonged to my brothers and me when we were young. I could not find burlap ribbon, so I bought burlap and cut it into strips to make my own ribbon.



I also put burlap ribbon on the wreaths that hang on the windows.





This is what the house looks like from the road. Now all we need is a little snow!



All and all, I am very happy with the way the outside of the house turned out. What do you think?

I promise to return soon with more pictures of the inside of our house decorated for Christmas.

Thank you for visiting Yesterday Once More. I appreciate you stopping by and I hope you will continue to come back as often as you can. Don't forget to look for Yesterday Once More on facebook. I would love to see you there too.
