They are just gorgeous, Paul! I LOVE all that nature-y stuff to decorate with too! Nicely done!

I have a big basket (inside) filled with pinecones and stalks of (fake) berries...and I have a giant glass jar that I put pinecones and small glass Christmas ornaments in...along with a strand of those battery powered tiny little LED lights that you can get for a couple of bucks at the big box stores. The lights really set them off, and I bet they would look fabulous wound around in your beautiful displays as well, especially at night if you have guests coming or going.

Yes, these arrangements are so lovely and they add warmth to the season. Very nicely done, Paul

Those are beautiful, Paul! What a wonderful way to add that festive look!

So pretty, Paul!! I love how you can do all of that without having to buy anything either, just using what's around you. Well done!!

your decors are lovely. Who needs more to get in the mood? Merry Christmas and remember the reason for the season. cillay

Last night the Deer ate all the berries and crab apples out of one of the designs.......... I guess they get to eat.

Awww...but how cool is it that you have deer that will come onto your porch for a snack!

I've posted before but here is a picture of some of the Deer that have been in my yard.. The Bucks are more easily frightened while some of the Does just stand and look at me.......sorry that the picture isn't clearer.

WOW!!! Gorgeous animals...just look at that buck! Awesome, Paul, just awesome!

Down here people pay big money to buy statues that look like that!

Reminds me of when I lived in New York and we would get whole herds of deer out in the fields at the salt blocks my dad had out for the horses...sometimes more than 20 deer at a time, playing, eating....that was when my dad quit hunting them---he couldn't shoot them anymore after watching them in the fields. Made me happy...they are just too beautiful to shoot with anything other than a camera!

A little late here, but berry Nice Paul.
I used some of the Yaupon this year in a few Christmas decorations, and along the mantle in our home this year.



The fir pieces came from trimming of trees at the box store at no cost, and the yaupon was a freebie from my property. Love those freebies.
