Christmas Tree Fun Part 2.

 We decorated the tree once we had it up in the tree stand.

Using the lights from our wedding was an awesome idea =) 

No need to buy Christmas lights.

 We laughed hysterically at the ornament we bought on our honeymoon & forgot about.

A turtle making a snow angel in the sand....sand angel?

It was great discovering all the ornaments that hadn't been on a tree before.

 We even got a star for the top of the tree.

I have always wanted a star for the top of a Christmas tree.

We always had an angel growing up. Now we have a gold star which looks super pretty all lit up.

 The finished living room. Looks so festive with the lights, tree, stockings, gingerbread cushions & seasonal candle burning =)

 This is the ornament from last year.

A hallmark special. Literally.

 I found these awesome reindeer in TJMaxx this year.

That is the finished effect of our tree.

I love coming home after a long day and putting my feet up gazing at the tree lights.

Makes the cold weather so much more enjoyable.

Let it snow. Let it snow. Let is snow.

Much Love,

Just in case you couldn't tell, I am a HUGE fan of the Disney Family Fun website. Totally sharing my secrets of the trade here. 

That can be blamed on a free subscription to their magazine which I got for a year after collecting pop tarts tokens. 

Personally, I work better with the website. You can sign up for emails & they will send you great craft projects. If you're going to be with kids during the winter, they have awesome crafts to keep you all busy.

My plan is to have a new special tree ornament every year. Last year we bought a 'First Christmas' ornament from Hallmark.

I am thinking of making a time capsule ornament for each year from now on. Writing the year on it and either adding little things from the year or just 2 photos. I bought the clear ornaments from Michaels for 60c each...awesome!

I can't wait to make the ornament before our tree goes up on saturday.

Do you guys make ornaments or have special ones every year?

Sparkling Lanterns from Tangled.

These are so easy to make it's ridiculous.

If you have kids, you will definitely want to make these with them.

 Sparkling lanterns. 

Yes! Like the ones from Tangled.

Makes for an awesome garland in their room.

Or just cool decorations in the house.

I am thinking these would look cool for Christmas across our living room.

Much Love,
