Xmas card trade - received + the small xmas home deco

I've send 10 cards and got only 5. Not a big surprise tho... Maybe a couple more will come, but I don't count on it. It's always the same in a trade, some are serious, some.... No big deal, and as it's the last year I'm participating to this kind of trade, I know it's the last time I'll be deceived ! BTW I got some marvelous cards, even if the count is not here, and even got the cutest gifts !

this is the cute card I found for François, for his birthday, he let me borrow it for my table deco

a simple fake pine garland to hide the misery of this wall LOL

the tree, fake one (I don't like the idea of cutting a tree...) that I've put as high as possible to protect it from the 4 paws teeth

  

the cards together, with another one I already have (I'm planning to frame those 2 together, and all the others in another frame (it's easier for me to frame a pair number). There is also a set of penguins and snowmen by Jim Shore, a rabbit snowman (why not !), and my 3 cute nordic kids

see how crowded my poor home is... there's even 2 racks under the tree, one for books, one with the hi-fi (antic one LOL) the table the... and believe me, it's worse everywhere else....arghhhh

the tiny deco I made last year (or 2 years ago ? can't remember !) from a kit from Action, with a tiny fake candle in the back to put some light here
Not that bad as long as I really do not want to celebrate anything at this time of the year...
