A SHAMELESS COPYCAT

No garage sales + no flea market + nothing at the thrift stores=NO WEEKEND FINDS. So I spent my time finishing up the outside decorations. Here's the front of the house. Oh I wish you could see it in person, because it looks SO much cuter than this. The snowmen just look like big blobs of light. This shot just doesn't do it justice!
Here's the back porch.
Two men of snow.
My favorite snow guy!
A holly silhouette above my childhood sled.
A light-up poinsettia.
Another sled, this one in need of a paint job. And here's where the title of this post comes in. I was reading Amy's post over at Into Vintage about her aqua sled transformation, and I knew right away that I wanted to do the same thing. 
Hence the "shameless copycat" title. Oh, and it's not really snowing in this shot. When I was visiting Kim over at Musings From Kim K, she had used PicMonkey to add snow to her dollhouse shots, and the snow made it look even more charming. I'm such a big copycat......

  7. Carol, your decorations are awesome. Nothing wrong with being a copycat-it's a compliment to some great bloggers. What will you do without estate sales or garage sales?

  8. Christmas at Carol's house, what a magical moment in time. Of course, I have the same snowman. I'm never shocked anymore when I see so much of what we both have in common...now...I need to find a sleigh...and copycat away! Pass it on eh?

    Happy week ahead and I hope next weekend, goodies can be found!

    Love your Christmas lights! Hubby won't put any up for me :(
    Aqua is a fun color for the sled.
    I am a "copycat" too for so many things.
