I totally sympathise with you, we have a four storey house so know exactly what you mean about all the up and down with the boxes and even though I can't do all those up and downs now it is just as frustrating waiting for whoever went up/down to return before the next box can be taken lol.<br />Kim xXxKim.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14482003855087378075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1431938053038093143.post-44520200154046372162011-01-07T16:09:10.423+00:002011-01-07T16:09:10.423+00:00We have always left our decorations up until after...We have always left our decorations up until after the 7th too. But the reason is because it's my birthday! lol and even now when I don't celebrate anymore, I still leave them up. So tomorrow or Sunday, down comes the tree etc!I always hate to see them go. I enjoy seeing thelit tree in the evenings.

I took down all the decorations but still have to take down the tree itself. Work has been so buzy I just haven't gone back in the attic for the tree bag. Well, I am off work tomorrow so I guess that will be my project for in the morning. Somrthing I have done for several years now is set up snow villages in several rooms. I leave them up all winter. That way The house doesn't seem so gloomy when the actual Christmas decorations come down.JANLYNNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10908578824333320604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1431938053038093143.post-58030900469154256362011-01-06T21:11:51.657+00:002011-01-06T21:11:51.657+00:00Beautiful explosing box.

I think I may try this as I was planning on doing another paper bag album but this seems more fun. LOL Thanks for sharing. I don't do really a Christmas theme. I love snowmen so I decorate with those. I was planning to put all of that away but I woke up to more snow so they will stay out for a little while longer. I did take down my holiday cards though yesterday.

But it was not part of a box. I saw the technique a long time ago when I first started scrapbooking. The "templates" I purchased called it "kinetic" scrapbooking, but the principle is exactly the same. You place your pictures on all the folded/connected papers, and then adhere it to the scrapbooking page as one base picture, and then flip open the pages to look at the rest of the pictures. (I'm probably not explaining it well!) As for the house without decorations....I kind of always felt the opposite...when they came down I felt like, thank Goodness, back to the clean look!!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing & sorry I went on and on so long!!<br /><br />Pattylittleeifwifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10770437142621002103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1431938053038093143.post-22919610819985542792011-01-06T03:18:06.745+00:002011-01-06T03:18:06.745+00:00Beautiful!
