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!

I'll email you one of the pictures

Oooh, they all look so scrumptious! I can't wait to see them all! :-) Thanks as always for organizing this great event.
~Angela :-)

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.

I love the teacups. Did we see a pix of your home? Wait ... I need to go back and re-read! :)
Hope you're doing good, Tracey!

what a great treat, thanks to all who participated, and thanks to our guide, I hope her home will also be included in the tour!!!

Thanks for the tour, great houses

WOW! All the homes look so festive and inviting. Thanks for the inspiration to get my place going.

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
