...and sharing a photo of our tree...
It is a little blue spruce from the tree farm just up the road from us.
It didn't quite turn out the way I had envisioned, but I did get to use the pine cones, little baskets, and twig stars, I made earlier. Also added wild rose hips, foxtail grass seed heads, candy canes, and a popcorn garland. One of my patient's gave me the idea of putting our Christmas cards on the tree. I'm still trying to decide if I like the way that looks or not!
We are having a quiet Christmas this year. But it is one that is filled with gratitude and thankfulness for all that we have been blessed with. One of the things I'm thankful for is all of you, my blogging friends, and I wish you all happiness, peace, and joy this Christmas season and in the coming new year.
Love the twig stars! You are super ambitious stringing that popcorn... I did it ONCE! I hope you have a Merry Christmas as well.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful tree! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
ReplyDeleteYour tree is wonderful, especially those stars! Hope you have a wonderful Christmas!
ReplyDeleteOh, Jewel, I only made the popcorn strands once, too, to decorate my first tree on my own about 8 years ago. I've saved those strands ever since, though I don't take them out every year. Surprisingly they have held up quite well. :) They are a lot of work.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you guys too!!
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful! Mostly handmade things, too.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and your husband.
Thanks for the twig star instructions. I made five choke cherry twigs.
I think it looks great! I love the twig stars....I think that might have to be a future craft project!
ReplyDeleteI love Your Christmas tree. Also the basket is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I've always wanted a popcorn garland, but my dog would eat it right off the tree...
