My goodness....no wonder we haven't seen Karen around the junkyard!! How gorgeous her home looks! Way to go Miss Purplemoon!

I noticed that she was over 'there' and have been 'Watching' her! lol
Love her Christmas things.
Also Kudzu is on 'trash to treasure' and 'Crafts'

I have been missing them here, but since I check those
often they didn't get lost completely!

Awww, Kirk, that was sweet.
Sorry about being missing in action lately, Everyone. I am here, just lurking. Haven't made anything in so long, and to be honest, I got a bit bummed with all the stuff in my garage waiting for me to make totems or other things. I just haven't been 'creative' and for some reason all that stuff is weighing me down. I almost loaded up all my glass to take BACK to GW. Tho didn't. Yet anyway. LOL.
Everytime I clean up the garage, I just have it junked up again. I'm so tired of the mess. Then when I had all those Christmas bins to get out and go thru, things felt totally overwhelming. I had a hard time talking myself into even decorating this year, but once I got started my mood improved. Wish my body would. LOL.

Nona, I lurk on those other two Forums also. Keeping an eye on Kudzu and others. But my two beloved Forums are this one and Holidays. Hopefully I'll get out of my GJ "funk" soon and start back posting. (I can't even claim its the winter weather, LOL. This is the best time of year in Phoenix. Next week will be high 60s to 70, that is just perfect to me).

Thank you all for being part of my Life.
hugs, Karen

You wore me out just looking at all the things you must of moved around to get it decorated so beautifully. I love the reindeers & horses & can't believe you have so many of them, they look pretty big! I don't see a bunny in sight so you must have taken those away! Amazing collections you have! The mercury glass is wonderful & I'm sure even nicer when you can see it close up!! You have done an amazing job & especially when it isn't snowing or anything like winter there. Hope your kids enjoy the beautiful home you have!! Grandkids must be in awe & think they just entered Santa's toyland!! Enjoy ! Jan

LOL, Jan, how sweet you noticed all the missing bunnies!
I actually still have several of the life-size ones out but they just didn't make it into the photos. One is on the floor to the left of the wall tree in fact. He looks like he's sitting up looking at it. Same with the life-size greyhound statues, a few got to stay out in the living-room. They have Christmas ribbons on their necks, LOL.

hugs, Karen

Thanks Kirk for posting it over here. I was so thrilled to see the collections and feel the inspiration and Christmas magic. Karen is a blessing with her picture postings for us all. I have also had a dry season as far as being creative. The garden will inspire me no doubt, in the Spring.

Good golly Miss Molly! No wonder we haven't seen you around! You were buried in boxes of Christmas decorations! lol! Your house looks totally awesome. I agree with Kirk that it is the best place to have a Christmas party (especially with the wonderful weather there this time of year). I had to laugh when I saw your one kitty pointing at the reindeer display in the cabinet. lol I can't believe you found Christmas bunnies but it doesn't surprise me. Great work! Good enough to get even me in the Christmas spirit. :^)

Karen, Will you come decorate our house? We're JUST cutting our tree down today from our woods!!!! Come decorate it tomorrow! I'll provide the airfare! LOL Bear Hugs and Love! Kirk

Heading to the airport now Kirk. LOL. At least at your house I'd get some HELP decorating!
