show us your life : christmas trees


 
So I've been decorating all week - but I tackled my tree first so it's been done for a few days. I loved how it turned out...

 
1. First off - plain old white lights. I kind of wish I'd added a string or too more, because my philosophy is the more the better! Although it does look "fuller" in real life than it does here... I think the flash drains out most of the lights.
 
2. I love wide ribbon on a tree. I even used some to make the tree topper.
 
3. And then my filler ornaments... I got a tub of 100 green, gold, and brown ornanments from Sam's for $34. They are so cute!
 
4. My FAVORITE detail - my 'curlies'. I put gold and green glittered ones all throughout the tree for a great whimsical effect.
 
5. And the tree skirt - $20 at Gordman's. Can't get any better than that, right?
 
Now if I could just get some presents wrapped and under that tree!!

Beautiful Tree!! I was looking at your outfit and I LOVE the brown leggings/stockings you have on with your cute blue and brown dress. If you dont mind I would love to find out where you got these. I have a dress that would go perfect with them and I would love to find me a pair! Thanks so much!
