All Things Merry & Bright

I love having a chalk board in our dining room,
It kind of brings out the twelve year old doodler in me.

You'd be scared if you knew how many times my kids have caught me in there re-writing on it.

I'm joining Nester for her 2011 Christmas Tour of Homes.

I've changed things around since I first showed pictures of the dining room a couple of weeks ago.

I moved the poinsettias..they were on my coffee table and now they're the center piece on the table.

I figure if I'm gonna keep joining these Christmas linky parties all over the blogosphere,

then I need to give you a little something new to look at.

If you wanna see our tree that has been overtaken by snowman ornaments, go here.
If you wanna see our mantle with my homemade pinecone garland, go here.
