coming along

with many stops and starts like hanging greenery with lights on fence, greenery on door, outdoor lights and babysitting little ones, I am finally making progress and will finish tonight if it takes all night.   Rainy for the past few days and that hasn't helped.

ribbon needs tweaking

I have twinkle lights of one strand on the tree also

The striped balls are vintage

Vintage ornaments

will add a thousand more ornaments (exaggerating) then finished

living room tree

I put the tree in front of the picture window this year and like it much better there.    This tree has to have every limb placed individually .   I didn't put all of the limbs in the tree,  I left spaces, gaps and some rows have less than others.  I believe it looks more real this way. 

I hung by push pins - glass stars to the ceiling

 

 

the red and green striped glass ball is from the 60's

paper tree and wreath

I made this paper wreath and framed it to hang in my hall way at the top of the stairs.
The paper tree I made also from paper shaped into rosettes then hot glued on styrofoam.

 

 

Crystal glitter would be pretty on this to give a sparkle
