New Decorations for 2008

[Snowflake]

Did anyone get new decorations on sale in 2007?

Planning on adding new decorations for 2008

Is anyone else already planning?

[hollybow]

yes.. i bought great prim stuff on the sale last week... 70% off...:c12:

[number4son]

I will add at least three new trees, about a dozen wreaths, and eggnog by the barrel.

[Snowflake]

Well I could use some eggnog, It has been a couple of weeks, since I finished mine off!!!

I bought a few new things for next year. I was at Walgreen's and they had 75% off everything. I noticed some lights on the top shelf. One was a set of three lighted gifts. I couldn't resist....and can't wait to see the look on my hubby, Rick's face when he notices them. I just stuck them in with our other outdoor decorations. LOL They were only $5.00...who could resist? I still want one more inflatable, too. I am seeing them but don't want to push my luck!I bought a few other things, too...but it's for the inside and he has nothing to do with that.

:c39:

You sound like me! I sneak stuff in all year long and then when its time to decorateI swear up and down I've had the new stuff for years! Of course he sees right thru me but its still fun to pretend!!

I found my spiral tree for all my train ornaments. I also picked up a retro Tinsel tree with color wheel and some real pretty blue glass ornaments . Of course 2 cases of rope lights and a new tree skirt.

I haven't got any yet and I'm definitely not planning yet. I plan to just keep a look out throughout the year for good deals. They usually don't start showing until around August. Everytime I go to a store right after Christmas, they're usually always cleaned out anyway.

Well I could use some eggnog, It has been a couple of weeks, since I finished mine off!!!It definitely doesn't fit the 2008 diet plan everyone's on.

New blue LED lights

[lightitup]

I ended up spending 311.00 this year in after christmas sales and saved a whopping 520.00!!! that is good considering I got some at 25% off, 50%off and some at 75% off. Mostly 75% off though. Not bad at all. Not as much as usual but enough to get hubby to say bah hum bug in October.:c17:

[number4son]

I toyed with the idea of a musical tree for the front porch, but we're going to be the new neighbors and I don't want to wear out our welcome the first year.

[Snowflake]

I didn't buy anythng exciting. I did find a place to order some 6 volt clear mini replacment bulbs for my novelty cluster candle lights for my tree, and I needed some 12 volt for my novelty red birds, which they didn't have. So I did order some 12 V from Acehardwareoutlet.com. I hope they work, esp since the shipping was outrageous.
I am going to have to store them someplace where I will remember where they are next year!!!!LOL

I bought a fiber optic bear! I can't wait to get it out! I should've tried it out when I got it but I didn't. :60:

How come there aren't any bear smilies?

[xmaslilly]

I've been meaning to make a couple of big lit up Xmas trees to set on garage.
Maybe I will get to them this summer.

Wow Hollybow those are too cute.
I thought it would be interesting to see if anyone has picked up any new decorations this year. I have a load of new hallmark ornaments and yard decorations.
I am looking at a large snow making machine like the ones they use on TV sets and movie sets. I think snow would look good on my yard.:c52:

[whitney37354]

Just a couple of new Hallmark ornaments. I really don't have room for anything new!

[lightitup]

I got a cute countdown clock from HSN and it is counting down the days till I start decorating which means all my painting needs to be done by then. I only have five weeks left to get it done.
I got a snowing snowman too. He is too cute. I have lots of new decorations but my favorite has to be the horse and carriage going in my front yard. I love it.http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa5/19sammy72/gif_1934.gif

[Keepsake]

I've bought a lot of Hallmark ornaments and Annalee's to add to my collections.

[Rennabelle]

I bought a couple door stops, snowman and gingerbread man. I just bought a snowman climbing on a rope, a santa climbing a ladder and a santa dangling from a string of lights for off my roof. Those should come in the mail any day next week and you probably have guessed I will be watching my mail very closely until the do come.

:f01::eek:

[lightitup]

I am still waiting on my snowing snowman. I think he is in Kentucky right now. Will one of you hijack him and mail him to me. UPS has lost my faith in them.:f02:

[number4son]

We will be buying new stuff to fill up the bigger digs, but not right now.
