Thanksgiving has past, along with the turkey and sweet potato leftovers, and I'm in full swing for Christmas. A few months back Nate and I purchased our very first Christmas tree, and yes it surely is a fresh cut fir wannabe. There is much to be desired ... fraying multi-colored fiber optic lights and all. But, the price was right at only 6 George Washington's. Here's our baby standing tall in all of her (too pretty to be a boy) two and a half feet of blinking glory the day we brought her home. (I was pretty excited)
and here she is after a loving touch and few combs through her tangled branches.
I've always been a "white light" kinda gal, so I strung a white mini-light set on it instead of using the fiber optics. We even have a few presents by the tree already.

As you can see I have been busy creating Christmas cheer in our little home
1. I decided to forgo my pottery barn tablescape after I happened upon the discovery that a candlestick fits in my old oil diffuser bottle. I love the mix of heights and shapes.
2. So, after making my wreath, decorating the Christmas tree and filling a bunch of decorative glass vases with that bargain lot of ornaments, I STILL had some to spare. It felt like the ornament well was never gonna go dry! So, to add a bit more Christmas spirit in our little apartment (which after my last decorating spree is pretty much bursting at the seams with jingle bells) I threaded some ribbon through the remaining ornaments and now our door is all decked out in it's Christmas best!
3. Lastly, (for this post) I crafted some fun wrapping paper out of newspaper that was waiting its days in our green bin and added some cute hand-made tags.
That's all for tonight ... stop by soon for some more of my Christmas projects!

Way to turn a funny little tree into a thing of beauty! :)
