Snowflakes and Starfish

My little homemade hutch (really a dresser with bookshelf on top)

got a Christmas makeover :)

I'm continuing with the blue and white theme but I was determined to 

*Not* spend any money for any decorations this year. 

Along with a few blue bits and pieces;

snowflakes, starfish and twinkly lights add a touch of white. 

This little tree fit in with the color scheme, and a snowflake 

seemed to be all it needed. It sits on top of a candle holder.

This shelf didn't change much, just added a few painted pine cones 

and some older blue bulbs.

I've used this little tray for decorations before,

only changing the scrapbook paper to go with the theme.

This time I used some I had leftover from my school cabinet.

It's in the same room, and is where my kids keep their books and supplies.

The inside is always a mess, so hiding it with pretty paper 

helps keep things looking neat and tidy,

(if they remember to close the doors!)

I also added some of my snowflakes to the insides of this lantern. 

It's been fun going with a different color combo this year.

My kitchen is still red and green though. 

My family said they needed to see those colors somewhere in our house :)

It was 25 degrees at our house this morning.
It's sure feeling like Winter here in Southern California.
I hope you're all keeping *warm* :)

Blessings,

Marcia
