Today we decided to decorate the house for the Holidays. Now if you know us, you know that my sister and I each collect holiday figurines, of sorts. I have Angels galore and she has enough Santa's to make even Gimble's jealous.
Each year we pick a new theme for our tree. Red and Green, Blue and Silver, All Pastels. This year's went a little out the window. We decided that we wanted all color, all the time. We dug out our flashiest ornaments and ribbons and literally threw beaded garland at the tree. We kept giggling guiltily, like we were doing something very naughty. It brought back all those crazy memories of throwing tinsel at a tree covered in bright colored lights, just like when we were 5. Now we just need a few orange glass balls and maybe some pink marabou and we'll be all set.
So the tree is mostly done, and we get to spend the rest of the week sorting out all the figurines that have been unboxed and need spread throughout the house. Let's hope we can scrounge up enough flat surfaces this year. ;-)

I love it! This year our tree is REALLY simple. Bells from target (in red, green, blue, purple, and pink) some groups of three and some shaped like grape clusters, small glittery snow flakes in gold, blue, green, red, and purple, and turquoise, and purple and blue lights. It is fun and NOTHING on it is breakable. I kept all the keep sake ornaments packed away this year. I am all about low stress Christmas this year.
I am making a purple table cloth this afternoon. Very excited. Must go and be productive now.
Thanks for posting pics, it makes me feel less far away.
