~O Tannenbaum!!!~

Hello everyone and merry Christmas season!!!! It is so hard to believe it is coming so fast! I spent Sunday and today Christmas shopping and got some great deals and had ALOT of fun! I love finding what I feel is the perfect gift. I wanted to share our Christmas tree!!! We have it in the morning room, that is the only spot it would fit:):) The ceiling in here is peaked so it fits well here and I love that I can see it from the hall, the living room and the kitchen. The skirt is a velvet center with an embroidered edge. I have done this red and gold theme for several years. I have too much invested to change it!

The poinsettia ornaments were found at LOWES!!!

I LOVE bling and these ornaments are full of bling!

Here are some tips for decorating your tree. I use long sparkly branches resting on the tree branches. You just kind of push them in and they fill in the spaces wonderfully. I have a combination of red and gold branches on the tree.

Here is one type of the gold branches.

I also have several styles of crystal (faux) hanging pieces.

I love these stars.

The "crystals" just sparkle in the sunlight. We haven't had any sun in days so these are not the best pictures and I apologize.

These are cut out.

This is my favorite ornament, I think.

My topper is 2 large bows attached at the front and the back. Then a variety of sticks are inserted into the top of the tree. I actually keep the topper decorated when I take the tree down. I put tissue paper into the loops of the bows to keep them nice.

My view from the kitchen. We put the table on an angle to accomodate the tree and I like it!

The green ornament is one of 3 that I have that my Mom made MANY years ago.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing my tree. I appreciate every visit and read every comment and try to respond. XO, Pinky
