We have a Tree ...



I can’t believe its December. I wish we could magically gain an extra two weeks before Santa comes to visit. Yesterday I finished decorating and we bought our Christmas tree. Unfortunately when it comes to gifts we have a total of zero. Worse than that we haven’t even talked or decided what we are going to get anyone. Michael and I have definitely been procrastinating a little more than usual. I just can’t get into the Christmas spirit, I feel like the Grinch.







In other news I participated in a little vendor night at Abbey’s preschool last week. It was the first year for the event and it was a little slow but it was a lot of fun. The women in charge of the event and the vendors who participated are a really great group of women. Being a stay-at-home mom and also working from home limits the amount of time I get to socialize. I haven’t laughed that much it a while and it felt good to be around other women. Overall it was a great night I sold a painting, some cards, and ornaments and best of all had a lot of fun. I would definitely show my art again at Abbey’s school.








If you haven’t had a chance to check out my give-away take a peek here,http://blueeyeddragonfly.blogspot.com/2011/11/holiday-give-away.html . It ends on December, 8.Also I will be adding a few more cards, tags, and ornaments to my shop. They are great stocking stuffers and everything in my shop will be shipped next day unless it’s the weekend.




















Have a great Monday!!!

Oh Tannenbaum ...



Christmas just wouldn't be Christmas without a beautiful tree. Here are a few of my favorite trees from around the house.








This is our families Christmas tree. I love real trees. When we bring it home from the tree farm we decorate it with lights and tinsel. We don't put our ornaments on until Christmas Eve. It's a tradition we started after Abbey was born. It makes Christmas Eve even more special.


I always decorate my little silver tree with some of my most delicate vintage ornaments.





I have two matching tree candles. I keep at least one out all year long.


I love Shiny Brite Christmas ball boxes.




This is my favorite Christmas ball.



Our little tree in the kitchen is always decorated with colored lights and some of my favorite vintage ornaments.



This is the fun tree.


A little tree in a colander.


I painted this little tree to decorate the front porch.


I love how it shimmers when the lights hit it.
Have a great Wednesday, Stay Warm!!!
