Joe and I were able to go out and cut down this beautiful Frasier Fir tree and decorate it with ornaments both new and old! We have both agreed this is one of our best trees so far :) I love to sit on the couch at night, sipping hot cocoa, and just stare at the lights...it is just wonderful!
When mom came to stay with me in early december, we decided to decorate the house a bit (what else were we to do, as that morning our furnace quit working and it was a wonderful 18 degrees outside. We kept warm moving around the house!) Joe had gathered up some extra greenery from when we cut our tree, and mom went to town putting it all over the house! It smelled wonderful, looked so nice, and we didn't have to spend a cent!
Just using things i had around the house, mom helped me make things look a bit more festive! The fabric on the table was in my sewing box, the blanket on the back of the couch in the linen closet, and scotty dog pillow downstairs on another couch. Tadaa!
Joe claims he feels like we are living in a forest, as there is greenery everywhere! Mom and I even cut honeysuckly berries and placed them here and there throughout the decorations. The only downside to the trimmings is that come January, I am going to have one big needle mess to clean up! :) its worth it!
Mom thought up this cute little arrangement outside on the deck...again, using all things I already had. We certainly had a fun time! I think I am going to have my mom come and stay with me every early december...hehe.
