| I am thinking way ahead to how to decorate the front of my home… for winter/christmas |
I am looking for some different ideas, everybody puts lights, I want to do something a bit different, without breaking the bank. Anyone has any ideas?

I got before and after pics copied and pasted in the reply box and tried to post, but the only things that shows up is the text I typed, not the photos.
Thanks May & Janice for all your helpful comments. I really appreciate them.
May - for the longest time, I said to myself that I will never want any plastic surgery done and that I will accept my body for what it is. Like many typical wome
My before pic.
I got my after pic copied here. this is at about a month after surgery. Still a little swelling to lose, but getting better every day. I will try to post my before pic, too.
I now have some before and after pics I'd like to post for you but can't seem to figure out how to post them side by side. May be having a blonde moment. Can you tell me how to do that?
I live in an old house, with a front and back porch. I often weave grape vines across the tops of the rails and posts and weave white lights through them. I have also purchased reuseable evergreens with long needles found at most Pat Catans and have put them either around my front and back doors or porch rails. I have also put a wooden sled with a pair of ice skates draped over the top on my porch with some greens. My mother use to wrap her door like a package…
One of the most fun decorations I ever saw was a two story house with nothing but a big red ribbon from the top to bottom and side to side with a big bow in the middle like the big house wrapped up like a present for someone! they had spot lights in the front yard glowing on the house to show off the ribbon. I loved it! simple but awesome!
We have a wishing well and a wooden wagon with metal wheels so I use the garlands w/ pointsettas We use brown, creams, and corals with the evergreen into which mini battery operated light are intertwined. I fill the wagon with matching pointsettas and lights then drape sparkly ribbon around the outer edge of the wagon. Same ribbon is used to make bows and decorate the three columns along the porch. The wishing well I fill the bottom with the pointsettas (get the bushes it’s cheaper) fill the bucket with copper colored icicles and bows of matching ribbons on the top. I change the colors periodically, but the browns,rusts and creams match the brick work. Given we’re in the south I have been know to add magnolias to the mix.
