Creativity is not a driving force.
It happens. It creates itself and
you have to be open.

A few weeks back I went on a Christmas tour with the girls at work. I haven't done anything like that in years. I was so inspired when I came home, I immediately got started on my decorating. If you can only envision someone going Christmas crazy at midnight.. lol :-))
Above our kitchen sink you'll usually find a rooster valance hanging. This year I wanted to "kick" it up a notch. So, down it came.







Quick, easy and whimsical.

From roosters..
To Christmasy fun. I had a ball putting this together. Mr. P. just sat and shook his head. Then he does that a lot when I'm putting together something new. lol For the life of him, he just can't figure out why I go to all the trouble. I just smile and say, "cause it's fun!" lol We'll save the rest of the window for another post. I think it turned out just as cute..lol
I hope you enjoyed my little metamorphosis this week. Be sure to swing by Susan's for a lot more metamorphosis that will take place in blog land. And as always, thank you Susan for hosting another fun week for us to get our projects done.


Don't forget to join Susan from http://Thoughtsfromovertherainbow.blogspot.com on Tuesday for the Deck the Hall Party.. I'm looking forward to seeing all the great holiday decor through out blog land.

Oh I love it. I love your rooster valance, but your garland is fabulous for the Christmas Season. You had such a great idea to use the rod and then to add all the pretty picks and trimmings. Love it. I can't wait to see the rest. Hugs, Marty

My Mr. Wonderful is shaking his head at me all day. I did my garland on the Entertainment unit and he says...why?? He just doesn't get it....
I am so different this year. I am doing a simplify Christmas this year. Although now that I put out what I thought was all I would do...it still needs a little more!!
Hi Lynne, love your valance...I too have been working like a mad women, and my husband just shaking his head at me too.....take care and hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving....Pat H

How Pretty! I have never changed my window treatments during the holidays - maybe I should. But not this year. Pulled a muscle in my leg, and I am getting behind real fast.
I do this too, Lynne...getting in the spirit of Christmas decorating at midnight. I've been wandering around with a pretty bad cold, the last day or two. J is right there,urging me to take a break. But then I think of something I want to do!!
I love your valance. It is beautiful and what a creative idea!
Love the valance! What a clever idea. Rosie
Looks great!
Very nice ! I needed a x-mas tour to get me a-going ! I still have boxes sitting around !

What a great idea! I don't have a valance to take down (just plantation shutters at my kitchen window); but I could use an expandable curtain rod to hold up the greens. I've been working on the trees and decorating for 1 1/2 days - now I have a new idea from you perking in my head. I couldn't sleep last night for all of the thinking. It IS fun! Take care, Sally
I love Whimsy...and I love the garland valance!!! Just dripping with icicles!!!! xoxo~Kathy @ Sweet Up-North Mornings...
As much as I like roosters, I have to say that I love the greenery, berries and icicles framing the window.
Oh, Lynne! What an inspiration you had! I LOVE your garland valance and those icicles are just the perfect touch! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!...hugs...Debbie
whoowheeeee!!I Love LoVe what you did!!! nothing like a tour to get you in the mood! Laurie
Lynne-I would NEVER have thought of that, but it is really pretty and festive! Love the icicles! Hope you will join Deck the Halls on Tuesday!
Perfect!

Thanks Lynne! That makes me feel better!!
Ooooohhhhh, this is just too cute & just what I need to do too! I love it! Thanks for the awesome idea Lynne! ☺♥☺
Hi Lynn. You really did take it up a notch and it looks great. By the way I love the rooster fabric. I bought the same fabric a while back to make a valence for my dining room. I really should get started on that project.
Hugs...Tracy :)
Great idea! I bet it brings Christmas into the rest of the kitchen.
Lynne, I love this! What a wonderful idea. Such a beautiful transformation. I really love those icicles. I have some that are similar and they are one of my favorites. Have a great week! Kathy
I love your valance!
