| We put the tree up yesterday. This is a big one. My ceilings are 12 feet high. This is the latest my tree has gone up in a long time. I seem to be so far behind this year. My husband always does the lights so I left him to it and went to bed last night. |
When I came downstairs this morning, I flipped the light switch and this is what I saw.
Now it is time for me to do the rest.
I've been working on these tags/ornaments. I like to make as much homemade stuff as I can for Christmas so this year I decided to make tags. I saw these on pinterest and thought they would be fun to try.
All you do is buy craft clay from Michael's, cut it in any shape you want, impress it however you like and then bake it until it hardens.
Then you can paint them or leave them plain and add ribbon or twine. You can attach them to presents and then the recipient can hang them on the tree after they open their present.

Great idea for the tags
My husband just finished putting the lights on our tree so now I am off decorating it.
What a beautiful tree, I love your homemade Christmas ornaments.
I put up my tree too today, it's slightly smaller than Yours though, around ten feet smaller :-) and for the first time in my life it's a fake one.
I thoght that since either I kill them by watering too little or Orvar kills them when I plkant them in the garden by peeing them to death I might as well buy a fake one this year. It's not the same but at least it will hang on for several years :-)
What a great ide with those tags! Too bad we don't buy any gifts :-)
Have a great day!
Christer.
The trunk looks fine to me. You DO have high ceilings. Ours is the usual standard. Mine won't get here until the 12th, so I am going to have to hussle. No problem..there are already three prelit silk tree's in the house..but NOT lit like that I haven't the energy to add more lights to them.
Besides, there are two giant redwoods out front all decorated.
So..I can wait. I had forgotten that fireplace..what is it made of. If I didn't have to hang all those decorations I would feel better. :)
i love the ornaments idea.
