AndreaInNC Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 DD17 helped me get a new stand for the tree (the one I had was for huge trees and it was too big) and helped me decorate. Now I just need to find the right angle to take a photo from so you can't see how crooked it still is. lol I'll do it next week! Pretty trees everyone!

Reinholt1 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 i love the big ornament in #4 looks like a hot air balloon type thing. you got instructions for it? We bought some stuff from Hershners years ago but haven't made them yet. it was from an ornament kit, many years ago. (As were most of the ornaments). Keep and eye on Ebay...I see one pop up every now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reinholt1 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 All the trees are so pretty! TyreeJames' blue and and silver is very elegant. And I like Shugga's too....the small bulbs and glitter snowflakes really set it off. (Gotta enlarge the thumbshot to really appreciate that tree!)

tinkrbel Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I need less spoiled kids or a bigger tree!Maybe a bigger tree but it looks lovely and I love the overflow and piles (and piles) of gifts. Where did you get the sign ornaments? They add something extra to the tree :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuggaD Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 The bow is beautiful. I need something like that for a giant present, not a tree. Will look it up on youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzy442 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Thanks. I made it. I`m not very crafty but can follow directions. LOL. Here is the link to how to make the bow.

I did make an extra 4 loops in one color to make mine little fluffier. I haven't attempted it BUT the video makes it look pretty foolproof. If we buy some red ribbon in after holiday sales or some blue ornaments this year we should be good. Not sure why we bought a 10ft roll of blue ribbon if we don't have anything to match it really:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinkrbel Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 not as nice as the one posted above but here's a similar tree skirt on sale at kohls :) http://media.kohls.com.edgesuite.net/is/image/kohls/863759?wid=180&hei=180&op_sharpen=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebear Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Thanks! Unfortunately it's only 24", and it doesn't come bigger. It's as cute as can be though, I love it. Really wish it was bigger. I went ahead and bought it last week anyway, "just to see", but yeah, way too small. So now I've thinking about how to make it work. Cut it out and glue on bigger one? Put plain white around tree and this on top?I just don't understand why they didn't just make a big one too. Unless I just missed it... I've looked at 3 Kohl's for it, plus online. Maybe next year... :) not as nice as the one posted above but here's a similar tree skirt on sale at kohls :) http://media.kohls.com.edgesuite.net/is/image/kohls/863759?wid=180&hei=180&op_sharpen=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinkrbel Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Thanks! Unfortunately it's only 24", and it doesn't come bigger. Sorry. I thought it seemed small but thought I must just be nuts. My mom's bff is on the hunt for a red tree topper now. This lady always decides last minute she needs something. She told me she bought her skirt at Kohls so I went looking for matching topper and found this instead:P I don't know what she does to her stuff. She has a beautiful boxed set of ornaments from Target 75% or 90% several years ago, I have no idea how she's put it up for years now but Suddenly has no topper to match.

SuggaD Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Loving all of the pictures. I thought I went overboard at Christmas with gifts for my DD, but looking at these trees, I guess not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebear Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Sorry. I thought it seemed small but thought I must just be nuts. Oh no problem, I appreciate you thinking of me! :) And I thought the same thing, maybe it won't be too bad, so that's why I ordered it. I've got some small trees I can put out somewhere and use it for that at least! :) I'll keep my eyes out for a red tree topper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinkrbel Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I'll keep my eyes out for a red tree topper!Oh, I wouldn't bother. That lady is so picky it's usually a waste of time I try but maybe 8 times out of 10 something is not to her liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockfordmom Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 First year for the white tree. I got the ice skater ornaments on clearance last year & went to 6 stores yesterday to find the plain silver balls, they had every color except silver. Not sure if we need more ornaments or not. My son is not thrilled with the ice skating theme of the tree this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
