The Stockings Are Not Quite Yet Hung, But...

I know I’m posting a lot today, but I had a 4-day break, so I need to make it up! I usually decorate my house for Christmas the day after Thanksgiving b/c it is a long weekend and logically a good time to find the time to do so. I’m not putting up a tree this year b/c I’m sure my 2 younger dogs would knock it over and eat the ornaments and probably eat the tree as well! And I haven’t put up my stockings yet, but each dog & cat has their own stocking as seen in the photos (I cross-stiched thier names on the top of the stocking). Also in the photos are examples of the ornaments I made for all my animals. I painted cats to look like the cats & dogs to look like the dogs w/ name beads spelling out their names. The dog is Jaydee (she was camera shy, & almost always laid her ears back when I took her photo) & the cat is Amara. Jaydee died July 2005 & Amara disappeared April 2006.
