Christmas is STILL buried under all of the snow and we can’t get the rest of it down…

BUT we’re already thinking of the next holidays and future projects and we need your help!

We are looking for a beat up set of these exact blow mold bunnies that can be used for an upcoming project. They do not need to be perfect (and we would prefer them to be faded, etc..) as they will be repurposed.

Does anyone have any leads!?

Let’s join the by sharing 16 pictures of our display from 2016… 📷

CRAZY how 10 years can change so much! 🌟✨

2016 was the year of firsts…our roof and upper house were done for the first time in 2016. Our giant teddy bear debuted this year (and has gone out every year since!) 🧸

EVERYTHING was still incandescent and drawing so much electric… Peep the glass C9s around the yard perimeters! 2016 was one of the last years we would use primarily incandescent lights. 💡

2016 was also so special because we filmed our FIRST national television show for ABC…a little show you may have heard of called THE GREAT CHRISTMAS LIGHT FIGHT! 🎄 Our episode would air the following year in December 2017! 📺 (Season 5, Episode 5)

What a fun stroll down memory lane! We hope you enjoyed this little throwback! ❤️💚

A fun little time lapse of taking the blow mold mega tree down for the season! (If only it was that quick and easy!!) 😩🤣

About 40 blow molds, 15 giant light bulbs, and 20 sparkle strobes made this tree truly POP this holiday season! ✨ We’re already brainstorming how to enhance our tree for next Christmas! 🎅🏻

What did you think? Did you like our blow mold mega tree?! 🤔🎄

Story time 📚📖

Every year I always get asked, “What started all of this?!” and this year, as I was taking stuff down, I decided to take a picture to show…

I was always inspired by the Christmas houses of my childhood (which I will post about very soon) but THIS snowman is what started it all… ⛄️

When I was about 5 or 6 my grandmother bought me one of my first blow molds, this tiny little Grand Venture snowman from Kmart, circa 2001-ish. The snowman still has remnants of the original tag where you can still faintly see the Kmart logo… I LOVED this snowman and he was always displayed under the Christmas tree in my bedroom.

As the years went on and our display grew, he found his way outside to be with the other blow molds. Many years later, I found a few others identical to him (one out of a recycling bin, one from a flea market and a few others here and there…) but none are more special than my Kmart snowman from my Grandma! ⛄️

He looks good for nearly 25 years old! ❤️🎄❤️🎄
