Yep!! One time we didn't have enough ornaments for the tree in our banquet hall at church. I took down my tree and brought it all over for the one night, took it home, and put it back up the next day. LOL!

I have to come up with really good decorating ideas b/c I have to outdo what I did the last two years, it's expected LOL

but simple elegance, simple, traditional is what I"m going for this year - using typical christmas decor in a different way - or at least on a larger scale.

My vast village collection are the table centerpieces - I just have to coordinate the windows and mantle - and head table.

last year I took down my lighted reindeer from my yard for one corner of the fellowship hall LOL

they got adopted to use in the kids play and I didnt get them back for a while - in fact they never did come home, they are in the storage room at church. I'm using them this weekend - if I can find a small bench to decorate like one picture I saw on here- I'll get it - I want to put it on one corner to hide the mammouth A/C LOL

It just sounds like to much fun, Theresa.

Well, my daughter just called and they are out of my Creme Brulee candles in the store. I better get on that, so I can get them to her tomorrow.

Have a good one. Take pictures later!!!
