When in doubt add a jingle bell

12.3.13- 

  You know the old saying, "Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without" or a personal fav  of mine from one of my favorite reality shows, "Make it work!"  Well that's what I did as I was setting up Christmas around here. 

- One of my decorating philosophies- 

I had this deer head that I bought at The {Springtime} Hive from my sweet friend, Annie. 

 {By the way if you don't read her blog you really should! 

Love her to pieces & if you've never been to a Hive you need to!}

I've liked having him around but wanted to dress him up for the Holidays to keep him around a little longer. 

So I simply took off the ribbons 

{& saved them of coarse because they are gorgeous!} 

& added a little flair with some Holiday colors & of coarse added a jingle bell or two. I sent him over the top by adding a red paper dot as a nose. 

{Hello... Rudolph!} 

Love the way he looks now & where he's been placed in our house for the Holidays.  What to see where he's hanging out? Check back one week from today for the 

{H}oliday {H}ome Tour of Lilac Lane.  

Can't wait to show you all.
