Hello! Well, after driving around this weekend, I no longer feel awkward for beginning my Christmas decorating early. I drove by several homes that were decked out way more than mine for the holidays, with trees gleaming through the windows. So, guess what I did? I decorated the front porch.
I used the same command hooks I used for Halloween and hung my pre-lit garland around the door. I secured my Deco Mesh by wrapping the garland branches around it and looped it all the way around the garland.
You can now see my Living Room Tree through the bay window.
I made two wreaths using my left over Deco Mesh and added bows, ornaments, and a few Poinsettias. Please excuse the picture quality, as it
I feel like I still need to add some more large ornaments to the garland, but I will do that another day.
The girl's and went shopping this afternoon and filled the back of the Jeep with goodies. So, this is what I will be working on the next few days! ;)
The other night we had a storm and our power was knocked out for over an hour, anyway, the sky looked amazing, so I took a snapshot of it and wanted to share! ;)
Have a great week everyone!
I'll be linking up with Carrie for Amaze Me Monday and with Marty for Table Top Tuesday!

I haven't even cracked open a box or bin yet, Liz! I'll probably do my usual of the Friday after Thanksgiving since I avoid going out on Black Friday.
I love it, Liz! It looks gorgeous!! I haven't even started decorating for Christmas either but I am going to go shopping this week and get some goodies that I will need to decorate with before its all gone! Cannot wait to see more! I love seeing your tree through the window so pretty!
Oh, Liz, this looks wonderful!! Your home looks so festive! I can only imagine what you will do with all of the goodies that you just bought! Everything is just gorgeous!
Wow! Your home always looks amazing. And the photo of the sky is magnificent. xo
The wreaths look great and will be a warm welcome even for Thanksgiving. The season goes by so fast--even more so, the older I get--so decorate and enjoy! Christmas music has been playing at Michael's Arts and Crafts for 2 weeks already. But if you're going to make anything, you need to get started early.
I love your photo of the sky!
Have a blessed week.

Liz your front looks fabulous! I love how you added spot lights to the trees. What a beautiful sky! Have a great week, Martina
Everything looks wonderful! You are far, far ahead of me! You did an amazing job on your door frame! xo Diana
It looks lovely as usual Liz! Maybe some gifts by the door would complete your entry way. It really looks gorgeous. I won't be able to start anything until after Thanksgiving! Thanks as always for all the great inspiration xoxo
Hi Little Liz! Oh, my goodness! Your front doors look amazing! So beautiful and I love your wreaths and the garland. Your tree looks so very pretty shining its lights through the window! Now I'm thinking of getting some of this deco mesh for my tree. I've never used it before but look at how you've used it makes me want to too!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
So pretty! I love that you are an early bird because you have THE best ideas! We really all do appreciate it so much too. Your front entrance looks so festive and fabulous Liz!
Love the beautiful scary sky photo too!
That storm was CRA-ZEE! ❈ We still had white lawns the next morning for all of the hail that fell. I love how the deco mesh picks up the little lights and makes the sparkle all the more warm and welcoming. Can't wait to see what you do next. Are those Hobby Lobby bags I see or Home Depot? Ha!
xo
It all looks so great Liz!
I hope to get my things up early this year too, but early for me is the day after Thanksgiving!
I am so impressed by all of you blogging girls who have your act so together!
Your entry looks amazing.
:)
That sky was unreal!

It looks beautiful, Liz. I KNOW my neighbors would think I had LOST IT if I had my decorations up now BUT I am ITCHING to do it!!!!!!!!! XO, Pinky
Looks gorgeous Liz. I am itching too and will do mine the next day after Thanksgiving. That will be fun as well because my Mom will be here to help some. Love that mesh, every time I see it I think of you and how you work your magic.
Liz, can you tell me where you got your garlands that are pictured in the trunk? I need some fairly inexpensive but decent garlands.... Thanks!!!!
How pretty! Love everything!
Those clouds look beautiful. Great shots of the sky.
Your front porch looks so lovely! I love all the mesh. I may have to give it a go this year!!!
WOW, Liz this is stunningly beautiful!!! I was mesmorized by this...studying it so I can get me some mess this year. I didn't know we had a hobby lobby??? I keep hearing all the southern girls talk about it and I saw one in Spokane this year but didn't know we had one???? Have you ventured over to Molbaks in Woodninville yet? Or Wights? I try and get up there once a year to see all the glorious things they do to Christmas trees.. Catching up after a very busy 2 weeks and loved the girls costumes so pretty those girls of yours.
What a beautiful and welcoming entrance! Love what you did with the mess ribbon!
not only do I luv your entryway, but the deco are fabulous.

Love your entry way, it looks so warm and inviting. My tree is up and I'm working on getting it in shape and will decorate as I can this week. I have never been able to get started this early and I am loving it!
It looks great!! I finally got some fall decorations out this weekend!! HA!
Absolutely gorgeous. Your home...is just perfect!
OH MY GOODNESS!!! HOW BEAUTIFUL!!!! I'm so anxious to get my decorations out.... but promised my hubby I wouldn't until midnight Thanksgiving! lol!!! But now... I'm thinking it would just be easier to make large blow ups of your house and pin them on my walls.... I'm going to be so depressed with my decorations... :( Would you mind?? :) Can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve for you "goodies!".... AMAZING you are!!!! STUNNING! LOVE IT ALL!!!!! Heck - even your "jeep full of goodies" picture looks PERFECT! How do you do it???? Simply amazing!
Splendid wreath and garland. I say decorate when it makes you happy:)))
Oh Liz, this is just breathtaking. I love your entry, everything is so pretty. The wreaths and garlands are just wonderful. Gorgeous. Thanks so much for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
Oh my gosh, I can't believe you have so much done already! Everything is simply gorgeous!What a beautiful home and blog. Glad to have found you!

What great photo's of the sky..but I'm afraid your decorations outshine those beautiful clouds. Sooo pretty. I had never heard of "deco mesh" !! Can you believe that?? Neither can I!! I must get some and play with it. GREAT photos and to be honest...I have been really tempted to start Christmas decorating early too. Perhaps I will start with the outside lights. What the heck!! :):)
Everything looks gorgeous! I'm still in Thanksgiving mode, need to start thinking Christmas too! I love your deco mesh!
Absolutely gorgeous!
Hi Little Liz! I'm still marveling at your gorgeous home and your front doors. I have finally got up my tree and have used the poly mesh and have given you credit for inspiring me. You'll have to come and see.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
