Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!

This is what it looks like outside my studio window right now! A very unusual sight for us in the south. The snowflakes are still falling!

We've got six inches so far. Is there any snow where you are?

Twelve Days of Christmas Trees: Day 12

Here were are, at the last tree of my Twelve Days series! This tree is my own, with chartreuse green and gold accents, and the occasional kid ornament thrown in here and there.

We started a new tradition for my son. Each year he picks out an ornament at the store. When he's all grown up and has his own tree I'll give them to him. Of course, by that time he'll probably be embarrassed by them--they won't be "cool"!

I still hang some of my childhood ornaments on my tree, mixed in with my "grown-up" ornaments! There's one at the bottom of my tree--the pink styrofoam gingerbread girl.

I like birds. Can you tell? ;P

And there you have it. Twelve decorating ideas for Christmas trees. If you haven't decided on your own, you'd better get to it! Christmas is just a few days away!

Do you have any Christmas ornament traditions? Do you use favorites from your childhood, or new "grown-up" ones?

Twelve Days of Christmas Trees: Day 11

On the eleventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me...

The next to the last tree is one done in traditional colors of red and green.

I think some crocheted ornaments would look nice on this tree. Hmmm...
Okay, yeah right, like I have time to make them!

I'm doing a little series featuring a different Christmas tree for a period of 12 days. There's a little holiday shop nearby which is a favorite haunt of mine during this time of year. They have multitudes of fabulous decorator trees, done up in different themes. This year I brought my camera along to show you all the great ideas. Stay tuned for the last installment, day 12, which will feature my own tree!


Which one of these decorator trees has been your favorite? 

Twelve Days of Christmas Trees: Day 10

Almost there! We're up to day 10 now!

A chartreuse and white woodland theme, with doves, twigs, and deer.

Just two more to go. (Will I make it? I'm running out of trees to show you!!)

Twelve Days of Christmas Trees: Day 9

On the ninth day of Christmas my true love gave to me...

A playful Christmas tree loaded with toys!

Can you spot the reindeer, puppy dog, and giraffe?

I love this lion!

One of Santa's elves, hiding in the top!

Twelve Days of Christmas Trees: Day 8

Here is another pink themed tree, this one has an animal theme with zebra stripes and silver peacock feathers.

They even had a zebra striped table cloth!
