New Flocked Christmas Tree

Have you seen or should I say drooled over all the blogs showing their flocked christmas trees? Well, I can say I drooled...just a bit over them! So much that I deceided I HAD to HAVE one too! I bought mine from King of Christmas and it is a beauty. Check it out...

It even looks good naked! 

 Now, it's all dressed! 

 It's not exactly the look I was going for, but wanted to just use ornaments & decor I had without buying anything new. I think it turned out pretty nice.

 I had some leftover tartan plaid fabric left over from some Christmas shams I had made for my daughter so I ripped it up to use as ribbon on the tree. I think I will buy a bit more of the tartan fabric next yr to add a bit more.

I just love my flocked tree from King of Christmas I bought the 7ft Prince Flock Tree with 400 warm led lights prelit.

And here is just some other photos of my other Christmas decor.

  My talented daughter Callie was incharge of creating the chalkboard art. She did great!

This yr I had hubby mount the vintage sled on the wall and I like it! What do you think?

 Have I said how much I love this flocked tree?? I'm dreaming of a white Christmas! Even if it doesn't happen at least it looks snowy in here!

This just says cozy to me. All that is missing is a fire in the fireplace!

 This Ninja Coffee Bar was a too me from me gift, heehee! LOVE it! Oh and by the way I let the whole family use it, lol. Goodbye Keurig!

Thanks for visiting! Don't forget to grab a sugar cookie  and come back to visit again soon!!

God Bless You!

Christmas Inspiration Photos

Tonight I took down all the fall decor since we are going to be out of town for Thanksgiving, Hoping to put up the Christmas decor by Wednesday before we leave so that we come home it will all be decorated and we will be ready to enjoy the Christmas season.

I was looking through my pics I have on my 'puter of Christmas decor for some inspiration and thought I would go ahead and share them with you. I do not know where the photos originally came from as I've had them for over a yr on my laptop...so if you see one of your pics feel free to let me know so I can give you the credit!

Ok, now are you inspired??

Creative uses for Pinecones

I have an over abundance of pinecones in my yard, so I was searching out some creative ways to use them in my Christmas decorating. Some I found I never even thought of before. Hope you can find some creative inspiration in these photos to do with pinecones that you've never done.

You will need pinecones of varying sizes for this one.

You could do this without the jewels. Just hot glue ribbon on the wide part of the pinecone and hang from a window. Saw this done at the Culinary & Craft House in Branson.

Just one large pinecone in an urn...simple, yet elegant. Spray the pinecone silver or gold or just leave natural.

Keep the kids busy making a pinecone garland!
Love the large pinecones by the hearth!

Pinecones make great ornaments...sprayed gold or silver, dusted with snow or left natural!

How about a pinecone placecard? Perfect for fall or winter!

Don't forget to use pinecones in your centerpieces.

This is the one idea I have not thought of and definitly will do! I have the perfect spot for it!

Branches of pincones to use on top a hutch or sideboard or anywhere for that matter!
Ah, don't forget to jazz up your gift wrapping with some nature!

The only place I've seen huge pinecones like this were in California. I should have gotten some when I lived there. Oh well. All you Californians can do this!

Ok, hope that inspired you all! I'm off to gather my pinecones now!

Don't forget to get your blog posts ready for tomorrow's "Christmas Cookie Recipe Party!"

See you soon!
