Let the virtual holiday home tour begin!
Oh, the weather outside may be frightful, but we'll be having a delightful time touring some of the most amazing homes today! We will begin the tour at Barb's cottage!(that's her oh-so-charming photo above!)
Second stop...Leigh's fabulous home. Of course, a stop by Sher's home is a must. Look at her tree!
Simply magnificent, don't you think? After that, let's make sure we go to Lorrie's home. She'll have candles burning and it will be fabulous.
So many wonderful ideas and homes to see....I think we need a little blue in our holiday tour (and we all know how I love blue!!) so we simply must pop over to the most romantic home on the tour..yup, Cindy's charming cottage!
Oh. My. Ga. That was spectacular, wasn't it. I am in a holly jolly mood for sure now. Let's head on over to Debra's for some cider and a look at her beautiful decor next....
Just incredible, I swear. Now, on to Cherry's charming home, all full of glitter and creativity! Donna's sweet cottage is next, with angels and bottle brush trees and all things shimmery.
Wonderful!Wonderful! Yvette has invited us to come by her snowy cottage too, so let's go there next..don't you just love her snow banner, with the snowflakes and pompoms?!
This is so fun. Alicia's house is just up the way, and we can stop in for some tea there...
Oh my! Next on the route will be Nancy's place. This is so fun, and it just inspires me to get in the Christmas spirit!On to Charlotte's lovely home next to take a peek!
Oh my goodness gracious, it's fabulous too! Now we must get on the road to Donna's decorated house!
It appears that Mr. Beau will be on hand to greet us there! From Donna's we will go to Jill's home to take a peek!
Then, Sonia has invited us to stop by and look at all of her Christmas decor!
Angela's home will be next, and I can't wait to see it!Next, on to another Sonya's home!
This is just so fun!
Next, Leigh Ann has some cute things to show us!Look at the little frosted house! Sharlene's cottage will be our next stop.
Jen has got the cutest garland, don't you think?
I just love it! Let's go see what else she has!
Well, we have been touring for hours now and I think we'll have to wrap this up tomorrow...yes, there are many more to see!!! Oh, I can't wait for tomorrow to come!
What a fun thing to do! I am excited to visit everyone on the tour! What a feast for the eyes-LOVE IT!

thank you thank you thank you .....just what the dr ordered. all of the homes are just lovley. my fresh cut tree has been sitting in the cottage court yard in a stand. I asked my husband do you think christmas eve we could just put the presents out there, and tell the kids we are having christmas in the court yard. we are leaving town christmas. 6 am for sea scapes resort in montrey. So I told my husband not to put up the lights this year. I have a white light bulb strand going threw the court yard. Its enough, I said its been a emotional year, with the loss of sweet bri. Of course every night I bribe him with a mc donalds ice cream, and then he drives me for around, a hour or more to look at lights, the same lights every night. I tell him its the only once a year we get to see them. Ha what was I thinking, thank you for shaking me to my sences. so I am gona call the big bear and tell him get ready we are decking the halls.

Hi Tracey! I've just finished my Holiday Tour post but cannot email you the link bc I am on a public computer (at the library) and they have disabled the email feature. So, I'm just going to add my link here and hopefully you can still use it. If you want to use a photo from my post, feel free too! Thank you so much!!!! -Mandi
