What would you do? I need help with outside Christmas decor!!!!

I have been doing the same decor outside for the holidays for the past 10 years. I need new ideas!!! I normally wrap the porch in pine garland with white and red lights and I have large peppermint candy lights that hang from the garland. I also have an alpine tree that sits on the porch that I decorate and place presents under.
I place lights on my weeping cherry in the front and on my picket fence. I have a set of 2 snowmen that sit in my flower bed that alight up. I need something different that will make people say "WOW".
I keep candles in the windows all year round. So ladies, what you would do??? I normally decorate thanksgiving weekend so I need ideas ASAP!!!

My faux Caramel Apples

I have been wanting to makes these and finally decided this morning to get a few done. It is a nice sunny day so they dried pretty quick. If you'd like to make these yourself, please visit THE PEPPER PICKLED PATCH she had these featured in the Create and Decorate magazine. I have placed mine on Ebay and also on my selling blog for those who do not buy on Ebay. I just love how they came out!!!

Updated living room pictures

I have made a few changes since the last time I posted pictures of my living room. The long angel to the left of my mirror was handmade by Bittersweet Folk Art. She is by far one of my favorite primitive items. You can click on any of the pictures to make them bigger. Thanks for looking ~Liz









My husband made this corner fireplace for me last fall. I love how it fits in this corner perfectly!!



My husband is one to go looking for treasures on garbage night. He found this for me and I love it!! I didn't have to do anything to it but clean up the spider webs and get out the old musty basement smell out.

Look what the hubby made me!!! (Solar Light Post)

First off, I'd like to thank Char for posting the instructions for this. We have a few bundles of old spindles. I had a star hanger/hook I bought years ago and had tossed in a drawer. It goes perfect with it! You can click on the pictures to make them bigger.

Updated Kitchen pictures!!!

I have to start by saying I apologize for not updating in quite some time. My job is very tiring and by the time I get home, all I want to do is sit.
However, I did manage to update my wallpaper border and added some wallpaper to the lower half of our eating area. A local craft store had a 40% off sale and I couldn't resist making a change. You can view my "before" pictures HERE
I also bought new valances for $7.00 from Park Designs which were on clearance.
