Christmas Home Tour Mosaic

At Christmas, all roads lead home.
~ Marjorie Holmes 

*So wanted to participate in Melissa's Christmas Home Tour that, even though my one and only camera croaked, I've gathered previously shared photos into a mosaic. (Either that or I'm just confused about which event I'm entering as I often participate in Mosaic Monday at Little Red House.)

Each photo speaks for itself, I hope. Otherwise, please wander back through the last few weeks to find answers to any questions one might have. (There's a home page just below the gingerbread garland to the right.)

And what's a Christmas Home Tour without something to eat? These two items are going to be a part of the festivities for Christmas 2011. The first is for candy canes, though I will add stick pretzels as well. The second is so cute. I adore easy, pretty and tasty in one nice package.





Please visit the tour at Melissa's The Inspired Room for lots of inspiration!

Thank you for visiting and do have a Merry Christmas!

    Lovely!!! And you are so smart, to figure out a way to doooooooo it. :-) Good luck with the "Saga Of The Busted Cam". Do keep us updated, on this Saga.

    Oh those eats are so cute!!!!! Your Grands will love them. :-)

    Did you watch "OUAT" last night? I did a whole post on it. Along with my regular Mon. post. Put SPOILER ALERTS on top, for those who didn't watch, and don't want to be *spoiled.* :-)

    I'm so sorry about your camera. You must be shopping for a new one. Let us know what you get. I use a very simple Nikon Coolpix 8100 and love it. They've since come out with an 8200, but mine is only a year old so I'm not shopping for a new one. My husband has a big camera with all of the interchangeable lenses, but that's just not convenient for me. I'm forever telling myself that I should learn to use it, but that's as far as I get. I'm not very good at convincing self.

    Your mosaics are always so wonderful and I'm so glad that you helped me learn to make them. Thank you!

    I had no idea that candy canes and marshmallows could be dressed up for the holidays. Everything is so pretty. I've only seen pretzels decorated with white chocolate or almond bark ~ yours are much more festive.

    Your home looks so warm, cozy and inviting. I think you should invite all of us up for a couple of days of Maine Christmas! One reason I regret our Marines abandoning Maine was my desire to meet you. But who knows, I might make it back there one day. I must think of going to Japan now! :D
    Your candies are so pretty. I wouldn't eat them, I would just look at them!

    Vee
    Your home looks like a cozy place to enjoy the holidays.
    I, too, am going to try those dipped marshmellows. Maybe I'll wait until you do your first, just to see if they are as easy as they look!
    Enjoy your day!

    Very nicely decorated. The treats look like something I am going to have to make. I make the pretzels all the time, but candy canes and the marshmallows sound interesting.

    Christmas home tour are such a delight and inspiration. None to go on this year here so was happy to tag along on your tour. My dear husband decorated our home last Friday, the first time he has solo'd on that chore, and I am enjoying his handiwork greatly.

    I love the mosaic...and the treats are adorable...love the ideas.

    Nope..don't like wings coming out the backs of people...nor candles coming out the top of heads...or those praying hands that aren't attached to anything...
    I do have the one bust with no arms but, for some reason, she hasn't freaked me out yet.....:)))

    I love those marshmallow, chocolate and peppermint swizzle sticks - they'd be wonderful in hot chocolate....

    Vee, your house is so lovely, so warm and welcoming...exactly what a home should be!
    (And I thank you for your sweet words of comfort regarding my friend Ann who is "home free." Your words especially mean a lot since I know that your own grief is still very present.)

    I love the coziness of your home, Vee. Perfectly comfortable and warm...

    I haven't thought of doing that with candy canes before...we usually dip the pretzels, though...hmmmm. Now the question is do I show the kids and plan to do it or not?
