The tree trimming has begun for 2008.

I have decided to throw all my ideas out the window. I wanted to do so many things for the tree this year. Yet when I started putting up the tree yesterday, I realized me hand making tree ornies this year isn't really gonna happen. By the time I got the lights up. I realized I only did the blue. Which really looks aqua when they light up. It was so pretty. I then found myself putting away the other lights. I have been picking up these little crystal ornies here and there since September at Walmart. I was going to use them for something else. They are really nice hard durable plastic. I dropped one and it did not break on my tile floor. Nice. Well I found myself going over to the crafting drawer and digging them out and putting them on the tree. I picked out only the aqua balls. At night time this is such a pretty sight to see. I am not done. I have to show you more of the scalloped quilted tree skirt I found in Target. I LOVE it so much. Best of all its Off white and you cant see cat hairs. Cause once the tree goes up its a fight to see who is going to sleep under the tree at bedtime. Oh man. They ruined 3 skirts. Lets see how this one does. Its very thick and solid. I adore it so much that I will be crushed if my fur babies mangle it. I still have my smaller trees to trim. My white and my silver one. Those will get the handmade ornies and at least I can d a small version of what I wanted to do with the large tree. So I still get my holiday crafting time. I am looking for a tree topper and a few simple ornies and I am done! I will update you soon. I really REALLY love how its coming so far. Last night it was hard not to doze off into Winter Wonderland as I sat gazing into this tree.
