New to site

18 years ago

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to say how excited I am to have found this site. I was searching for new ideas for the holidays...I am in the process of decorating for my mother's Christmas Open House. I have seen great pictures here and can't wait to share some of mine also.

My mother was a December baby,it snowed the day she was born...something that doesn't happen often in Alabama...so she LOVES Christmas!!! Some would say she goes "overboard" (which would be putting it mildly!) but it is VERY beautiful. It takes about a month to get the house decorated. I will try to post pics from last year later

today and this year when the house is completed. Open House is Tuesday night...it'll take that long to finish!

Again, I am so excited about finding this community!

    Hi Cindy!
    Welcome to our little group of dish and decorating fanatics. Hope you'll share pictures with us of your holiday decorating.
    We find holidays to decorate for all year round in this little group. We've invented some in fact, LOL!
    Thanks for introducing yourself, it's nice to know a little about someone new!

    Welcome LadyCindy, sounds like some great photos in store for us. I can't wait to see. Glad you found us.
    LOL Kathleen, love the comment about us inventing some holidays. But you're right, we tend to have a lot of fun year around. Maybe we should have a "Spud Day" this coming year! LOL LOL

    And since Prosperity lives in Belgium, maybe she has new holiday ideas for us too!

    hugs, Karen

    Hi LadyCindy and welcome! I've only been coming over to this forum for a while myself - wish I'd found it sooner. Everyone is so nice and helpful, and always generous with their time and suggestions.

    I saw some of your mom's pics. OMG! They are quite a treat to see! Wish I could "see" them IRL. Now I'm off to look at the new ones you've posted. Thanks!

    And a big welcome to you, too, Prospertity! I hope you post pics of how you decorate and celebrate the season in Belgium.

    Thank you all for the warm welcomes! I love to decorate for holidays and such. I am sure that I will love being here year round.

    Dreamgoddess, where in Alabama are you located???

    Hahaha, I noticed that Belgian people seem to copy American people when it's time to decorate their houses for Christmas.

    One night next week, I'll take my camera and will take some pictures of houses decorated for the holiday season.

    I'll also take some pictures of my Christmas tree (which is not finished: have to buy some new decorations as it is a bigger tree than the other years) and also have to improve my Christmas village (will probably add two houses I bought in England: a toy store and an antique store).

    However, I found so many ideas to decorate my house on this forum that I cannot which one to choose ;-)

    But I also found lots of ideas including pictures to my Christmas site (photobucket links obviously).

    Cindy, Welcome to the holidays forum. I've been enjoying the pictures of your mother's home. It is simply amazing. I know it must be loads of work, but it must also be so enjoyable. I think it would be wonderful to wake up in her home every morning.
