I Love the Spirit of Christmas! I Love the kinder hearts of people who are more generous and more forgiving during this time of year. I Love the dazzle of the lights and the twinkle in the children’s eyes. I Love the parties and sharing time with friends. I really Love the Decorations!
As a Christmas decorations collector I get easily overwhelmed when looking at the different designs produced every year. There are so many choices including traditional, whimsical, themed and antique. I advised my clients to focus on a particular type of ornament or design and go from there.
There are so many themes and ideas that will bring a lot of holiday cheer to your Christmas decorations! I would love to share some ideas from my home and a few Cookie Hudson Design clients.
One of my favorite Christmas tree's this year is the one I decorated at my church. Last year Mrs. Pat informed me that we would decorate a tree with our Pastors favorite colors. She called me throughout the years while purchasing the decorations for the tree. When I arrived at our church to decorate I was so impressed with her selections. I had a little trouble adding lighting due to the attack of a friendly raccoon! Despite the animal attack, the outcome is beautiful!
This above gold, brown and copper sensation belong to one of Ms. Mimms. I nickname this tree the mad woman. She is an older pre-lit tree that has to be assembled by individual branches! When I completed the assembly task I changed her name to Diva!
The previous decorations are corporate event decorations! Simple but festive!
My formal living area! All about the bling!

My favorite client's are the Gilmore's! The girls are always so excited when I arrive to decorate the tree.
This year they had all the ornaments wired and ready to hang. Thanks to the Gilmore's for 3 years of business. Love you guys!
This is one of my favorite ornaments, it is a hand painted angel purchased in 2006 from Dillard's.

This year I added cheetah print decorations to my collection. This is a gift from my assistant Rebecca!
I began collecting Christmas carolers 7 years ago from Cracker Barrell. The first year the collection
included mini caroler Christmas ornaments. Unfortunatelly, this year they did not carry them.
This is Pop's tree. He use it as a night light!
My assistant Rebecca decorated this tree for my mother in law this year. I usually have the ginger bread decorations in the kitchen. She wanted to surprise me and help decorate since I had been so busy with other homes. Thanks for your help Rebecca, God has blessed us with a wonderful person.
