Christmas Tree 2010 Part 2 - The Decorated Tree


I'm joining Deck The Halls over at Between Naps On The Porch
A Silly Little Sparrow for Toot Your Horn Tuesday
My post this week is done in two parts so be sure to check out
Part 1 - The Ornaments

Over the 47 years that I've been decorating Christmas trees for my family
I've had a variety of themes from all the mixed primary colors when the
kids were small to themed trees, but for the last 10 years are so I've done
a mixture of traditional ornaments with a flowery slant.

 This was our 2009 tree posted for Met Monday 11/29/09 The lower branches look a little bare because Homer The Cat takes the ornaments off and then hides them all over the house.
Time for a new look! Something lighter, brighter and glittery!

 These are some of the ornaments that were made for this tree and detailed in 
Christmas Tree 2010 Part 1 - The Ornaments
Thank you so much for stopping by to help me decorate the Christmas Tree!
As we get closer to the big day, I'll be filling those paper cones with little candies and other sweet treats, so please be sure to stop by !

You can read about how many of these ornaments were refurbished and made

    Amazing! What a transformation! Excellent work Candy! I wish I could be more articulate about the wonderful effect of this shimmery, silvery tree, but it's hard to type when you jaw is on the keyboard! ;)

    Your tree is fabulous. I love the glittery shiny mix of items you've put on there. You have Homer and we have Regan who has yet to experience his first tree...

    Thank you all! I'm loving the glittery twinkly look of this year's tree.

    Marlis - watch your kitty closely. Some cats and trees don't get along. Year ago our "Tommy" climbed up the trunk of our freshly cut and decorated tree at a dead run and brought the whole thing down! It was a sight and a huge mess to clean up and redecorate. :-)

    I'm a little late to the party, but so glad I stopped by. Spectacular! That's the only descriptive word I can come up with that fits the beauty of this tree. So, I say again SPECTACULAR!

    Wow - do you ever take a minute to sit and stare up at it all? I like the Vienna Boys Choir too!

    Thanks for coming by to see my tree CAS and Margaret!

    Yes Margaret, I do often just sit and stare! That's probably why I am so far behind getting ready for the big crowd coming for Christmas ... to much staring and playing with glitter and not enough house cleaning!
