WE HAVE CHRISTMAS TREE!






Okay, this is the finished product and a few pics along the way. Kevin had to take some off of the trunk to get it into the tree stand and snipped a bit off of the top.

Notice Gracie is helping.

  2. GL, while you were being first over here, I was first on JR's latest topic. HAAA, my plan worked!

    Thanks, I love a great tree. The lights are new, they are the new LED ones so will take some getting used to. Not quite the same as the old ones. I am a bit worried that an airplane might try to land in my living room though. LOL!

  6. Thanks ladies, I wish we could have put it up in all of it's splendor, no trimming involved, but it would have been moved out more to the center of the room and would of been a bit in the way of several things, LOL.

    I do not love the angle topper that Kevin had, but it is his year.

    NCC, what is Victorian tinsel? I need pics girl!

    I used to use the gold garland stuff to finish the tree, but now I use gold bows and gold mesh ribbon instead. I like it alot, but am interested in other options.

  7. I meant angel topper, but then again, the tree itself has a bit of a bend to it, kinda like me, just a bit bent. LOL!

  8. I am having another battle with Google. Seems every week or so I need to reset my password. Bleech! I am trying some of the blogs I regularly read to see what gives. So far, I can post here, but not Dena or CNJ. Go figure.
