O Christmas Tree

I already showed you some of my decorated trees here. However there are  some fun other ones I have to share with all of you, including more detailed pics from the previous post.

 

Here is the toy tree

 

and the southern romantic tree

 

   

and the silver and white tree

 

 

Then there is the tree decorated at work.  One of my co-workers brought in some of her old books and toys she had (some from her childhood and some from her kids’ childhood, that's an entire other post though).

I also wanted to begin a Christmas tree collection so here’s a photo of some of the ones I’ve collected.

 

My last grouping of trees is from my swap partner Claire.  We were paired up for the Back-Tack Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh swap.

These decorated trees are great for my collection.  I also received some decorated snowflake ornaments, a snowflake “JOY” garland, some vintage cards, a button ball ornament, some handmade soap, some yummy candy, and some other little doo-dads – beads, buttons, and ribbon, to use in my own creations.

Oh yeah, and these

vintage ornaments in a Shiny Brite box.  Several of the ornaments (the blue ones) are Shiny Brites, the green one is from West Germany and the other one is from Austria. I’m so happy that they survived being shipped.

I sent her a couple of crackers, a mixed Christmas cd, a set of three Christmas themed photo holders from Pier 1 (one for each of her darling little ones or whatever else she wants to use them for), some cute apple jingle bell ornaments, a Making Memories snowflake ornament kit, some homemade peppermint bark, a pink crystal ornament, one of my handmade shopper bags, a couple of the wrapped tapers, a white glitter house candle (I love them), and a few other goodies you can see below.

 

Thanks so much Claire, I really loved opening each little package!

Your tree collection is beautiful. It is nice to put lots of personality into your decorations, they add so much to the flavor of the season.

Thanks! Glad you liked everything. My kids love the bag and it's already been packed with goodies for an overnight with grandma (and then i am taking it for groceries!)
