Our Real Tree & Give Away!

Hi Ladies!!
Happy December to You!  In honor of
Christmas I would like to do a little giveaway!

Here's the scoop:
You need to be a follower of Mrs. C with style and then
just leave a comment with what your favorite colors are to decorate
with for Christmas!

How easy it that??? !! :)
The winner will receive a total of 25 yards of holiday ribbon,
1 roll of red deco mesh, and a pretty photo ornament!

I will draw a winner out on Saturday December 15th!


So are you getting ready for the holidays??
I am happy to report that I am 85% done with
my shopping:)  So now I can enjoy all of the fun stuff like
parties, Christmas cookies, wrapping presents, and  my
FAVORITE!!  DECORATING! :)
We now have our real tree up and decorated!
Here is a picture of me with our furry son Jackson :)
He goes along every year to give his approval on the perfect tree
and this year he didn't disappoint!

Below is a naked picture of the tree!
Just like most of us we feel more comfortable
dressed up :)


Now with adding deco mesh to a real tree it can be a little more
difficult since you don't have the branches to weave the
deco mesh into.  So I found the easiest way to
attach it to the branches is with pipe cleaners.  They are pretty
inexpensive and come in a bunch of color to match your
color scheme!  I actually cut them in half so you get double
the quantity!


So here she is once the mesh is added.
I did the same technique with adding the ribbon and used
the pipe cleaners to add it in the branches.


The flower below is probably my favorite decoration on the
tree next to my Grinch Ornaments!
I love how fun and whimsical they look!


Here she is looking big and beautiful!
I love all of the fun colors!



                                             Just a close up of the flowers on the tree!


I wanted to share these bell ornaments with you
because they were such a great deal and add a lot
of flair to the tree!
I purchased them at Target for only $1 each in there
fun section that is usually right inside the door!
It gets me every time :)


The snowman hat tree topper idea came to me after my
visit to Valley View Farms.  I didn't really want to spend $30 for
a topper so I looked around and found this cute hat at
Boscov's for only $5 and it lights up!  I think it is to be used
as a table decoration but you can really use it for other things!
Here is just a little display area above a cabinet I have in my
living room.  You gotta love the Grinch!



Here is one of my lanterns I have filled with ornaments and pine cones.
The picture frame beside it is just a little project I made this week.
I used scrapbook paper and a vinyl decal I had bought some time ago.
This would be something fun you could make if you own a Cricut machine!


Supplies Used:
Picture Frame, Scrapbook Paper,
and a vinyl decal.


Here is a close up of the finished project!


Finally one last picture to leave you with!
These are my two big helpers!
Well at least they would like to think so!
