White Christmas Phoenix

Snow in Phoenix!

I'm having a blast beginning to decorate for our biggest event of the year. This year the theme is 'Winter Sparkle'. I've was able to find a fun fur table runner as well as fabulous Tibetan fur pillows for the sofas at Costco and on sale. Double Score! They are the softest pillows I've ever bought - love them!

I've got many areas both inside and out on the patios to decorate yet but I wanted to at least share a little of the fun I'm having so far! Some of you know I started out wanting to use white feather boas on the tree but that got nixed as it could be a fire hazard. So I shifted and went in another direction and the tree is almost completed. I will post my White Tree ASAP. And this is the first time I can remember the tree looks as good with no lights on as it does with lights on. Love it when a plan comes together!

Did I mention we're having a champagne tasting at the party. And everyone coming to the party knows the attire is "Winter Sparkle! I still need to find my sparkle!! Wish me luck!!

I love that runner, it's perfect. We never get snow (okay rarely get snow) so I'd love that. I bet I can found a cute furry fabric if I can't find a runner.

Oh my gosh, I love that and can't WAIT to see what your tree looks like either, Anna!

Funny but, we're having our Humane Society event here this week so, I had to have my decorating done quickly. Anyway, the event is 'Get Toasty...' and attendees bring a blanket to donate to the local shelter. Each year, 'toasty' means something different - last year, it was warm food & sangria.

This year, it's champagne that the winery is donating proceeds to the Humane Society! How cool is that little twist on the event!

We're not sparkly but, we are toasty!!

Have fun at your event, Anna...

So, I popped over to check in with you and saw this post near the top...I thought it was the REAL snow that fell in AZ this week, Anna! LOL

Ray and I were wondering if you and Gary had gotten snow after seeing a picture of snow on a cactus on the news - CRAZY!

Happy New Year, Dear!

Anna Banana Kruchten CRB, CRS 602-380-4886 Do you think your mindset and thoughts about White Sparkle manifested as snow in the hills of Phoenix? Just saying - thoughts are pretty powerful. Lol. Remembered this post and couldn't resist.
