LR tree is up

17 years ago

Thanksgiving night I had DH drag the tree out. Friday I took a vacation day and decorated. HereÂs the LR tree. I did end up using two types of garland. Wraped the silver/white pretty far in the tree. The pearls didnÂt turn out quite how I wanted. Wanted to double strand them but I think the tree was starting to get busy. Plus I wouldnÂt of had enough. Spent at least 6 hours on this. CouldnÂt hang any ornaments too low because of the cats. So far so good. I personally think it looks better in person that in these pics. I canÂt get my camera settings to work as pretty as you guys. I stuck a ton of silver balls on the inside of the tree but itÂs like half of them disappear on camera. I do need to get the star on top. Should be interesting now. The cord to the star is really short so I need to get one of those three plug things to hook it all together.

The close-ups show how beautiful your tree really is. I have the same problem when photographing, so have had my son take pics of my winter table.

All detail seems to disappear when I take photos! Tam & Judith are the best at taking pics, maybe they should give us lessons!

Your tree turned out really nice. I love all the crystal ornies on there too. Lots of hard work, but you will get to enjoy it now for a few weeks. TFS. Luvs

Shee..you did a great job. You have some beautiful crystal ornies, and the blue, sets everything off nicely. I think your bead garland really came out good. I agree, you worked really hard, and did a fabulous job. Happy First Christmas in your new home!!

Pretty and sparkly, and I LOVE that blue tree skirt. Hope the cats don't. LOL. Mine would think it was a brand new bed for them. Another reason I don't do big trees any more and have become a fan of small table trees instead. I'm "well-trained" by the critters I guess. LOL.

hugs, Karen

Your LR tree is also very pretty. I love the blue mixed in with all of the other ornaments. You have some very pretty ornies. And I like your pearls draped the way you have them. Another great job. Now sit back and enjoy it. ;~)

Thanks everyone. Kitties do like the skirt. There's cat hair on it already. *sigh*.
Here's some better pics. Plus I have the star on top.

Oh my gosh! It looks magical!!!

I really like how you used the blue and those crystals are wonderful.
Dang it, I had a whole conversation with myself about not needing to buy any more ornaments. I'm going to be jonesing for those crystals!
