A Little Bit More Christmas...

 

I submitted this small tree in the Country Living Christmas Tree Contest.  If you like it, follow the link and click 'like!'  But, hurry...the competition ends tonight!  The most 'likes' wins a Kindle Fire HD 7! 

I found some Mistletoe in a tree at our church.  At night, my daughter scaled the tree and clipped it off.

 Something doesn't seem right about that, does it?

I put little bunches tied with ribbon all around the house.

 

The girls and I have been cutting triangles forever to make this banner for the tree.  I can't say I have a theme going here, but it feels very L.L. Bean-ish with a pop of spunk.  I glued the paper to twine and wrapped it all around the tree.

I don't scrapbook, but I love all the different papers and patterns that are available.  The triangle with the circles is actually the back of our Christmas card. 

Since it is the season of giving, I thought I would give myself this rustic star.  I found it at a consignment store next to a really large one.  I snagged only this one and drilled a hole in the bottom to put it on top of my tree.



Now, I have a banner on my tree and a star on top.  I'm making progress.

 

Merry, merry Christmas!  I hope your holiday is full of peace and simplicity!
