The day has arrived! Winter is right around the corner. We have frost on the ground, the days are growing shorter and the hustle and bustle of the holiday season is in full gear! I know you have been busily preparing also and today you get to show off those holiday projects, crafts, décor, and recipes! I’m happy to be here with you and kick off week one of the Countdown to Winter Party!
I’ve been dressing the outside of the house with lights and tweaking the front porch to make it merry and bright! I couldn’t resist making a Christmas version of my “Fall Wreath”. I’m telling you, this wreath is so crazy easy to make! We all love easy, right? Well be sure to check in tomorrow for the Joy Wreath Tutorial, ok?
For now, take a peek at my Joy-ful porch and GET THE PARTY STARTED!
These little cardinals make me smile! We have a family of (real) cardinals in our yard that we love to watch.
Time to link your awesome Holiday projects! Show us what you’ve been working on.

Hi Kim, I’m glad you pinned this, that’s how I found out about your party! I haven’t ‘partied’ in I don’t know when…thank you for hosting. Looking forward to seeing some fun things. Thanks! Beautiful porch too!
It looks fantastic and I love those cardinals. We don’t have these birds here in Europe! They are cute!

Thanks so much Kim for hosting this party! We love cardinals too – also have a family of them living in our backyard! (I wonder if your cardinals will think the “faux” cardinals are possibly their relatives… LOL Your front entrance looks very festive and welcoming!
Haha! Laura, I was wondering the same thing! I’ll be tickled if they land on the porch to check them out! They really like my backyard the best. They are so beautiful to watch, especially how the male sticks so close to his mate. 😉 Thanks for joining the party!

Thanks for hosting!
I really like your door decoration. It’s different and I’ll bet that it’s easily seen from the street, too.
Your front door is truly “joyous”….so beautiful…and the entire porch is so very festive!….Thanks for hosting the party…and have a wonderful weekend…
Hello Kim: Thank you for hosting the party tonight. Your front door and entry are very festive! I especially like the decorated trees with the red birds and red garland.
Hi! I am all about birds these day, I love them! So I am especially fond of your trees! They are so festive without being overly “Christmasy” Thank you for hosting!!!
