Upside Down Christmas Tree

Yeah, there's a dark spot on the tree with no lights -LoL But it's too much work to revamp that one area ;)

And I'm all done Christmas Shopping, even all done wrapping (I even wrapped the stocking stuff!) Debating whether or not to send Christmas Cards - leaning towards NOT - hehe

Tin Ornaments

I made these graphics on my computer. I had a black and white graphic of the girls and colored them in using Photodraw application. I created the word art from cute Christmas sayings. I flipped the image before printing them on iron-on paper. I ironed them onto muslin and mod podged them onto tin I cut from roof flashing. I used the crop-a-dile to punch the holes to attach ribbon. I made both light and dark skinned girls.

Christmas Tree Ornaments with quotes/sayings:

The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree is the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other.

Christmas is a time when you get homesick even when you're home.

Open your presents at Christmastime but be thankful year round for the gifts you receive.

Those who have no Christmas in their heart will never find Christmas under a tree.

Changed it up

My sister gave a set of candle holders from Partylite for my birthday - I used them as candle holders as my Christmas decorations last year - but this year I was inspired to change it to a more fancy display:

They have small holes on the opposite end where the tea light goes and you can add water and a flower.  So I took small beads and jingle bells and added that to the inside as well as some leaves, berry picks & ribbon - I like it a lot better now ;)

Decorated Chandelier

I hung a few brown metallic ball ornaments & ribbon from my chandelier:

It looks cooler 'not so close up' and I'm still playing with the ribbon . . .
