The adorable Jules left a sweet comment
on my last post that got me thinking:
"I've got serious tree envy. I just couldn't get my tree(s) to work with me this year. I don't think I fluffed them up enough. They look horrible... I'm just going to pretend that yours are in my living room. xoxo"
Thank you so much Jules AND I will be the first to admit
that I am seldom ever completely happy with my tree either!
I saw a beautiful tree yesterday with a
Metallic Color Scheme that I thought turned out
much better than mine . . .
It had all these cool sticks & branches in it . . .
{If you see me in your yard with a hacksaw, you'll know I'm trying to copy it!}
I'm also loving the tree my beautiful niece created . . .
She found an idea on Pinterest to make these
Big, Pretty Bows from pipe cleaners & those
large rolls of colored netting that are everywhere.
It's economical & as you can see - it makes for
awesome eye candy!
Do you experience "Tree Envy"?
I experience it every year. Then I spend hours fighting with the lights because we get a real tree. I get grumpy and then just want to be done ! I do love what your niece did.
ReplyDeleteHi Cute Carol, Thanks for cracking me up with your "grumpy" story. I kind of feel like we might as well all buy new Christmas lights every year. They should just be disposable!

I always have tree envy! My sister's tree is so big and wide and at my mum's tonight I realised mine really is small compared to theirs! But I tried hard this year to think about what I wanted and I am really happy with it. I love the sticks and branches you saw - maybe mine will look like that next year... :)

Always great to hear from you, Jacqueline. Thanks for dropping by & using your adorable words like "mum". {British people rock!}

Oh my goodness! Christmas Tree Envy is taking over! I can only dream of trees like the metallic scheme one. {I have an idea; you get the hacksaw; I will watch for cars... then we will have plenty of sticks and branches to share!} And please tell your niece she did a wonderful job. That tree looks so full and festive! Next year my Christmas decor better watch out... 2013 will be the year of the Fabulous Tree!
ReplyDeleteI just love being your bloggy friend. Merry Christmas! xoxo jules
Me too! 2013! And thanks for the offer to watch for cars . . .
