I don’t have a ‘theme’…I just use multi-colored lights around my entertainment center…and on my tree. I also twine it thru a ‘bough’ that I hang on my counter/pass thru on the living room side, with a big red bow in the middle. I love the glow of all the colored lights. My tree is a mixture of handmade ornaments from both friends and my two children…a few balls (Baby’s first…a Disney one etc ) and snowflakes ( I have the exact same ones you got at Target!! ) I also use Tinsel…yes…it’s a bit messy…but…it reminds me of my childhood…and to me it just screams Christmas!

Do you have another tree that has ornaments with sentimental value on it or do you just do a theme tree like this each year? I have so many special ornaments from my childhood, my marriage and our four kids that I would have to do 2 trees if I was going to do one themed. Thanks!

The tree skirt is gorgeous. You really have a good eye for making things look just right. I think you ought to look for some kind of gold star for the top of your tree. It would look so neat with that stuff sticking up around it. I found one that folds open so it is dimensional that would be perfect. But you can’t have it! I found it a couple of years ago at a Christmas shop. So you should keep an eye out for something to add to the top like that. You are also such an inspiration of doing things economically. You’re very clever and I enjoy all your projects so much. Have a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year too.
