The last of the trees




Here are the last of the trees Instagram style  .. This is the only real tree, Its an 8 ft frasier fir... Its in the living room. It has all the family ornaments we have collected over the years. The tree skirt was made by my stepmother.. its huge which we need because we get really fat trees to hold all the ornaments.








These two helped .. I mean "watched" me decorate :)


My husband set up the village yesterday , I need to run to Joann fabrics today to get either a fuse for one of the cords or a new cord. The back row of houses has some not lit up yet because of the cord situation.The village is alot larger than what is shown in the photo.
Below is the sports tree.. Its one of two tree upstairs. I used red, white, and blue lights. Lots of basketballs and footballs the boys school patches and ornaments I have made with their jersey # and year.I used their football jerseys for the tree skirt.




This tree is in our bedroom. I have a black white and green damask bedding set.. I made the tree skirt last year out of different black and white fabrics. There are black glittery balls white snowflakes and green decomesh and ribbon .I also added some gold garland. I do still have another 4 ft tree, not sure if its going to make it out this year ! Its so nice to feel DONE !
Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and a wonderful weekend . My college boy goes back to Kentucky today , it has been so nice to have him home.
Thanks so much for visiting ! I love to hear from you , Thanks so much for your nice comments !
Safe travels to all those who are on their way home !

Instagramming my Holiday Decorating

 
The snowman tree..
The (other) snowman tree...she needs a tree skirt...going to have to make one..This is a regular 4 ft tree that I scrunched up the branches and put muslin around and filled with stuffing.. I made it last year and put it away in the crawl space just like this . I think it needs a little more stuffing , but I will do that in the next few days
