Wanna show off your tree? 'Cause I wanna see it...just go here...
I grabbed some shots of our tree yesterday...here it is...
I took this shot from right inside the front door, and I didn't have quite enough room to get the star on top (you can see that in a minute...)...
...there it is...
Over the years our tree has taken on a rustic, woodsy feel...I really like it. I'm not really a cabin-y-type decorator, but it really seems to work for Christmas (at least in my home)...I love these Santas...they are HUGE! If you've been into a Michaels during Christmas time, I'm sure you've seen them. They have new ones every year...I have 3 now and I LOVE them...
I have clip-on poinsettias all over the tree, too. Every year I add a few more. I love love love the look of a full, completely over-decorated tree...
A lot of our ornaments were passed down from my in-laws to my husband...I love these little guys. They have so much character...
This was another of our Christmas cards from this year (from Paper Coterie). I didn't feature these in my Christmas cards post because I didn't have them finished yet, but I love them. They are little 3"x3" booklets filled with photos of the kids...LOVE.
I have little banners in various places around the tree, too...
I just thought this shot looking up the tree from the floor was cool...(smile)
And here's the tree skirt I made from a whole bunch of linen, cotton, canvas & sheer scraps...I love it...I just wish I had made it bigger...it barely comes out from under the tree...maybe next year...
I love how crazy, uncoordinated, busy & memory-filled it is...it really makes me so happy...
So that's our tree...
