It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like.....

Ok... so I realize there are a few holidays between now and Christmas, but I just wanted to share these ideas with you guys.
Each year at Christmas the ladies in my mom's church do a Christmas Candlelight Dinner. Ladies sign up to decorate & hostess a table. So, I thought I would share some of the pics from last year....

The first two are my mom's table... you may notice some plaid... it's inherited.

What a fun thing to do!!!
Christmas will be here before we know it, so it doesnt hurt to start thinking about it!

I love decorating for Christmas including the table...it is my favorite holiday! I love the plaid and pine!!!!

Alison said...

Those are so pretty...but I'm glad my church doesn't do that because there is NO way I could decorate a table to look that nice.

Also, don't remind me that Christmas is coming. Let me stay in my own little cocoon of denial until after Halloween!

Those tables are gorgeous! I have already started thinking about Christmas. Mostly because of the rare times that I am alone. And when I am alone, I MUST Christmas shop. I think most stores will be ready before Halloween - but I am ready now :-)

Ok so I don't like to even think about Christmas until after Thanksgiving but in this case I will make an exception. I think these tables are beautiful.

what a fantastic idea! I love the red plaid table! I am sure that the women all love this! Is it all in one room-or kind of like a progressive diner idea-whats on the menu?
I am still a little whacked on the dang headache meds-so hopefully I am making sense!
Thanks for always saying such nice things about me!(the checks in the mail) seriously-you make my day!
Thanks for the dinner idea! I am so copying!
