Boy, it feels great to be back and sleeping in my own bed. Don't get me wrong, it was a wonderful trip to Boise; very productive and the hotel room was fantastic but there is no place like home.
I set up the Christmas tree in the master bedroom today and later this week I will show you "J's" tree. His is hodge podge and CRAZY--sorry babe but it is true, where mine is loverly and themed (ahhh..I love order). My tree is fake but I enjoy the ambiance more than I do the scent so I am good with it. I have had this fake tree for almost 8 years now (maybe 9; I can't remember..it's been so long). For years I always did red and gold; it was beautiful but the last two years I have decided to switch it up. This year I went with red, green and white as previously mentioned.
Here is the tree after I finally got the lights on it...

Everything but the tree, the lights and the sprigs of berries I found at the Dollar Tree. I didn't want to do the same as last year and I knew I didn't want to purchase new decorations at full price since I already had an idea for next year's tree so the Dollar Tree was the solution.




I wasn't sure about these green glittery 3-D snowflakes so I only bought one package (set of 2) but I like them so I will be heading back there tomorrow to find some more.
I also bought these snowflakes and used 2 of them for a different project...

I just kept stuffing ornaments and sprigs of berries until I got my desired look. To top the tree I found this pre-made bow with a cute little bell at the end. It's the perfect topper for my tree this year.

I don't have a tree skirt and I may attempt to make one some day (maybe) so this year I used a tablecloth that is too small for our table. I bought it years ago to fit a smaller table I had but it will suffice for now.

Here it is with the lights out...

I will be back later this week with a new Christmas project. I found it in a magazine this week when I was flying. I'm excited to show you but for now I am going to go enjoy my tree and have a glass of Ho Cho.
I Love it, it looks so classy and nice. Cant wait to compare it to Joe's :)
