Trio of Woodland Trees
It’s been a number of years since I’ve had my own Christmas tree, what with my husband & I losing our home in 2010 and my mother not really wanting one. I think this year I’ve made up for lost time. It’s possible, just maybe, that I’ve gone a bit overboard. Who? Me? These three […]
No Sew Tree Skirt
In all the years I’ve been decorating Christmas trees I’ve never had a tree skirt. Ever. I mean, what’s the point? Aren’t there just gonna be a ton of prettily wrapped presents under the tree anyway? A swirl of fabric always worked just fine for me. Until this year. Two things – one, I saw […]

Cardboard Christmas Trees
I have a huge stack of flattened cardboard boxes in the garage from the move last summer. I keep thinking I need to put them on Craig’s List so someone else who’s crazy enough to move can benefit. Until then though, I wanted to use a few for Christmas decorations. Crazy? Maybe, but it’s a […]
