More on My Decorating!

Here is another peek at more decorating I have done. This is the fake tree I was talking about on my Three or More Thursday post on my craft blog. This tree is in our family room. We bought this tree last year. It came with lights already on it. But last year we did not put any ornaments on it. This year I added our snowflake ornaments I made 28 years ago. I have some of my bear collection sitting around the base of the tree. That tree skirt I bought specifically for this tree. Just the right size for it. The tree topper is an angel made from a toilet paper tube. My son made that in Sunday School when he was 3 years old. I have always treasured that angel. It goes on the tree most years. I just can't part with it. The wall hanging was made for us in 1986 by my husband's sister. I remember the year because she stitched it on the back. I hope you enjoyed this peek into more of my decorations. I hope to post more soon. Have a great Thursday. Oh, and thank you for all the sweet comments I got on my birthday post. Those really made my day. Thank you again!

What a cute bear collection. I have a couple of adorable ones that I must hide from my little doggie. He would think that they are toys for HIM!

Thanks for showing cute little angel, I have one somewhere that my granddaughter made for me. Now I am inspired to go find it and set it out!

Take Care,

Stephanie
