Christmas Decorations

[DianaB]

Finally I've gotten around to take some pictures of our tree and some of the decorations. I have sooo much more that I just don't have the time or energy to put out. Anyway, here's what we look like so far.

!. Jaci strung popcorn after we already had our tree decorated so we added it to the shelf. The lights are all set on a timer and come on automatically. There's Hallmark Santas all over the shelf.

2. This is our Christmas tree. Remember I collect Hallmark ornaments and most of my collection is on here. Rachel is our tree topping angel.

3. This is my plate holder in the dining room. I had a really long string of pearls left over from decorating the tree so I put them here. I'm still not sure if I like it or not but I'm leaving it up.

4. This last picture is of some shelves in my Kitchen. Again, another Hallmark collection that I add to every year. This is the first time that I've put them here and I think that I'll do it again.

It's all so beautiful Diana!! I like the pearls strung down like that off the plate shelf. It's very soft and graceful looking. It reminds me of a white Victorian Christmas - Gorgeous.

Your collection of Hallmark is wonderful on your shelves and tree. You have such a way to make everything look so warm and inviting. Such a nice way you add that special touch to your decorating!!

It's all beautiful!!!!!

Your decorations are really lovely Diana.

Diana, I love all of your decorations...but I must say that tree!! It is soooo perfect. I honestly don't believe I've ever seen a prettier tree. So beautiful.

Thanks for your compliments!!! My tree stand will turn the tree around when you turn it on but I have sooo many ornaments that it's too heavy to turn!!! When we first got it it did turn better than it does now and the kids would play a search and find game with the ornaments while it turned.

The Christmas tree skirt is something that I made too. I could never find a skirt that I was happy with so I made my own. It's one of the few things I've pieced and quilted. Quilting is just not my thing!!!

Are you telling us that beautiful tree is artifical? If it's turning...that is my guess. I wish I could find one that full. It looks so real!

I had one of those ugly red with white fringe tree skirts, but my in-laws had a pretty one. So after having our tree up for a while...I remembered I had it in a box on the closet shelf and brought it down. The red and white one is now gone..LOL
