Christmas decoration in my home includes four Christmas trees this year, and they are all special. I have collected ornaments throughout my adult life, many of which were collected during my travels. Unpacking the ornaments and placing them on the tree is always a trip down memory lane.

With 4 trees to decorate, it’s good to have help. My quilt Santa’s Secret Helper is the secret to my success. This quilt always makes me smile, probably because my fur baby Olivia Victoria always wants to help me with whatever I am doing.

My Christmas tree on my porch has a wildlife theme.

Of course a Christmas tree in my studio keeps me happily working. It is filled with Jim Shore ornaments collected over the years. Because my studio is on the third floor of my home, I am sure faraway drivers can see the tree and enjoy its lights.

My studio Christmas tree shines brightly among the chaos of creativity. Jim Shore ornaments makes it special. The quilt hanging to the right of the tree is by my friend Dawn Boyd.

I am grateful for all of Santa’s helpers, although one of my helpers (Olivia Victoria) is lazy!
