Saturday Sharing from the She-Shed Volume 39
It’s the weekend and time for a bit of a rewind. I love to write my Saturday posts and share a bit about my week and what has been happening at WM Design House.
I have been knee-deep in getting my Christmas Decorations up, and I am just about finished in time to get ready for Thanksgiving. I’m grateful I had a few helpers this year.
Are you hosting this year? We will be having 16 people for dinner.
Have you noticed the trend in gingerbread decor for Christmas?
Well, It is quite the rage, so I decided to create a gift for you.
I have been working on a prototype of a 3D gingerbread house.
You will be able to print them out and make your own ornaments, or houses to decorate your home with. They are so darn cute and easy to put together.
Weekday Adventures
Amid Christmas Tree decorating, I had to have some emergency oral surgery that was not fun, but I am feeling much better and back to my normal self.
Later in the week, I managed to get out and get some exercise. I find that I feel so much better if I take the time to get a good walk-in or a few games of Pickleball. It just makes the rest of the day so much better.
What’s Happening at WM Design House
The house painting is coming along and it looks like we have settled on a color. It is quite a change from the existing color and I am anxious to see it on the entire house. It is a deep blue called Blue Note by Benjamin Moore with a very grey base.The trim will be all white.

‘Tis the season for decking the halls with boughs of holly and hustling to complete our shopping lists. I’ve recently completed my decorating spree and am eager to share some of my cherished discoveries with you.
- I put two King of Christmas Nobel Fir Faux trees up in my family room this year and decorated them with a woodland theme full of cute critters from the forest. These trees are my absolute favorite. They look so natural and have over 600 lights on them.
- Next, I added these wood jingle bells, they are amazing! And they come in large and small.
- If you love the natural look for Christmas, you will love all of these great choices to make your holiday extra special.

I was busy all week turning my house into a White Christmas. Which is my theme for this year. I’m pretty happy with how it has turned out.
- I love the tree that I got from King of Christmas. It’s the 7′ King Noble Flocked Pre-Lit Christmas Tree. It definitely is giving me the White Christmas Look that is my theme this year.
- The White Snowflakes that I bought years ago are always on my trees.
- You just can’t beat Target’s prices for twinkle lights. They are less than $2 for a 100-light string.
- I use Colonial Candle Taper Candles during the holidays. It’s such a steal to buy them by the box.
