Our Christmas Tree

Happy weekend everyone. I didn't think Saturday could get here fast enough. We don't have much planned for the weekend, just the normal: errands and cleaning. I'm debating on weather or not to make some Christmas treats. We'll see.

This year I decided not to put up a tree. We have a nice fake tree. But last year I gave up more living space for a third bedroom and a laundry room. The new living room is on the small side and with all our furniture there is not much room for a tree.

But I didn't want to not have a tree and I didn't want a table top tree for the same reason. . .no where to put it. So this is what I came up with:


I kind of like it. But is it as lame as it seems??

Hope everyone has a great weekend

Wreath

Well I came across this on one of my ventures out into blog land. And well I had to make one.

Off to the dollar store I went. $8 later I came home with these:



52 Christmas ornaments.

Monkey helped and cut all the hangers off and I hot glued the tops on. Then we threaded them and then re threaded them and ended up this this:



I think we could have used an other package or two of ornaments. It would have made it easier to use a wire coat hanger to as my base. If I were to make more I think I might spend the extra few bucks and buy a little better ornaments. I had a couple of them pop off while I was trying to close the hanger. The tops split.

So how do you think it turned out?
