I have always loved those arches. You really dressed it up amazingly, too! My house is too small inside for anything like that. It's really impressive!

That is so beautiful. I am still learning about the whole decorating thing. Our old house was a falling apart farm house so all of our money went to fixing it up. This is our third Christmas here and I can't wait to check out all of the amazing things you guys are doing on here.

everything is SO pretty, Tink! I really love the snowflakes hanging from your living room chandelier. I have to start putting my tree and decs up this week as I just found out we are going to my sister's for Thanksgiving, as well as later for Christmas and New Years. We won't be back from Thanksgiving until December 2nd, and since it takes me a long time, it wouldn't give us enough time to enjoy it before we leave for the Christmas trip. I had debated whether to put anything up, since we will be gone, but MCD had advised me I should and my son wants it up. (not that I don't. lol)

The light is a standard 3 light thing, we made 3 rings connected them with fishing wire then put the glass on with what we had left over, but it does look like
