Christmas in the City....ALREADY!!!

My sister has gotten an early start and already setup her Christmas village. She decided last year (or maybe the year before) to start collecting the Christmas village, Christmas in the City. You can see that she is off to a great start already! When she told me on the phone tonight that she had it setup, I told her I would love to post pictures on my blog :) ! Anyways, she had some helpful "information" that she sent for my blog post to go along with the pictures, so I just figured I'd post Christy's words:

"I have a couple new additions this year. One is the stoplight in the front left. Another is the table skirt, which is handmade and I'm afraid would put my grandmothers to shame. Since I can't sew, I glued on Velcro to the top to stick it to the plywood. I glued together the two pieces of fabric (you can see the seam on the front right of the table), and then to hid the uncut hem on the bottom, I glued Christmas fabric. Also, Dad made my shelves for the building. While my husband may pretend not to care about my village while in public, trust me, he is actually as obsessed as me! The other night I was in the middle of setting it up when a friend called and invited me over. While I was gone, Kyle continued to setup the village!"



That was excellent blog material Christy! You should start a blog of your own :) !!! Love you! The village looks great!

WOW...now that is some Christmas spirit! Jackson just told me last night as we were pulling into the garage "mommy...you know that sometime before Christmas we have to get down our stuff and make the christmas tree"....clearly he is ready too!

Tina, you were my inspiration for my village! I keep telling Kyle that until I have as many pieces as you I don't have enough : )

Christy,

Your village is beautiful! Your "blogging" has promise (just be sure to let me "proof read" it first!)

Love,
