O Christmas Tree! {Day 11}

Thanks for all the wonderful ornament suggestions. I think I'm going to have to give them all a try! What I ended up doing is making a bunch of cones. I absolutely love cones. I found some cute hand cut wooden words at a local handicraft shop and covered them with glitter. Words like *inspire* *wish* *courage* *imagine*.... perfect! I glued festooning around the edge of the cone and it makes them look very festive. Glad I still had some left over from Silver Bella. Festooning is hard to come by around here! I will give each of Lowell's therapists a word and they fit perfectly in the sweet little cones! Love it:)

I loved all the cones so much I hung them all on my tree until I give them away. For {Day 11} we were supposed to do a page in our Christmas Journal about trees, I wanted to share a picture of my newly embellished tree.

Shimelle's clever artistic challenge was to use at least one ornament hook on our page. Since I covered the page with pictures and wanted to have some room for journaling, I tucked tags behind the pictures and put a hook on top! You can see it a little better in the up-close pic:)

Here's my page!!Inspired by this...wow!!

I also wanted to share a picture of our tree skirt after reading Pam's post. I love tree skirts too and also have a thing for those little pom pom's. This one is not vintage, but I loved the whimsy look and have always loved felt too!

  20. Wow! Your work is amazing! I Love the vintage look you have with a lot of your art.

    I know of this website www.totallychristmas.com that sells wreaths and pre-lit garland and a lot of things that a person like yourself could really play with. I think you could do some amazing things with garland!

    Keep it up!
