i think i mentioned i would be decorating for Christmas over at C's home.here are little
snippets
of what i have been up to..........
i will decorate three fresh trees there after Thanksgiving.
i usually do only one fresh 15 footer, but this year i will be adding 2 more 6 footers.
believe me, that's a lot of twinkle lights!!
phew!i truly don't know where i get all the energy for this?
and to top it off, i decided to spend this weekend painting my beamed ceiling and fireplace mantel (finally, Mr. Lee).
my lovely daughter, Ash and her hubby Rob will arrive on tuesday, and we will be hosting a casual party for her friends hopefully around a roaring campfire.
wednesday, my hubby will make his famous cabbage rolls,
and then thursday my son, Ian and his girlfriend, Sam will join us for Thanksgiving!
Sam just might be bringing her bestie Ke$ha over to meet us. yes, i DO mean the rock star Ke$ha...they have been friends for years.
tons of fun, family and great food!!!
if that wasn't enough excitement,my two horsey paintings were featured over at Anita's wonderful blog,
i have just recently found this gorgeous slice of bloglandia, and you MUST visit her.
you will be enchanted.
i promise.
thank you Anita!

Wow! Your decor is gorgeous and so are those photos! You really have a great eye. :) Looks like something from a Christmas coffee table book. Love it! And Ke$ha? Who woulda thought! Cool! :)
That's awesome! Congratulations. I bet you could sell a lot of your beautiful paintings. Pretty decorations too. I love, love, love the vintage garland with the glass ornaments. So very pretty!

I am so thrilled...thank you dearest for the mention of my blog. Have a splendid day, Anita
Erin,
Love your decorating! Will you come to my house and do my decorating :) It's all beautiful, but I especially love the mantles. You inspire me to do more with my mantel.
I'm not surprised you sold one of your horses. I would have bought it if I had a room that would do it justice. I used to have a gray horse when I was in high school and your pictures remind me of him. Congrats!

You have been busy - very pretty! Congratulations on the sale of your painting.
Just came across your wonderful Blog...and I must say your decorating is so beautiful, and creative, very inspirational! I grew up on a horse farm and your painting just got to me. The eyes and the beauty of it, brought back some very special memories. You have a God given talent. Look forward to more of your posts. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Your style is putting me in the Christmas mood! And that's great news about your painting. Congratulations!
Congrats for your painting dear Erin, but... won´t you miss it a lot?? it is incredible beautiful!!!
Have a wonderful time with all the family gathered together at thanksgiving!!

Hi Erin, I must admit that I was curious as to how your mantle looked with a fresh look. Your horse paintings are wonderful as are all your artworks, and it's about time you started to sell some. You should investigate doing prints and offer them on your website. There are many people that love your talent and certainty would consider buying an art print of yours, me included. Linda and I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving, and say hi to hubby for me.
Of course it sold! It's beautiful!!! You are a professional artist! Yeah!
It all looks beautiful. Betsy was raving about your home!
