It's All Christmas Now!

I hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving holiday! We sure did! We had the best dinner ever...you know how some years it just turns out better than others? This was a great one!


First thing first though, because I have a lot to share with you today.

I got to do a little stamping this weekend...very little as I was also setting up the tree and Christmas decorations and getting ready for my Open House this Saturday.

If you are in the Boise area and would like to stop by, please send me an e-mail so I have plenty of papers cut for you. :)

The day before Thanksgiving we went to the Festival of Trees. It was gorgeous! Obviously we didn't get the tree we bought raffle tickets for...I just don't understand that!! :) The trees were absolutely beautiful and individually so unique if you took the time to look at them and see the story. I have chosen a couple of trees to share with you here.
This tree was the breast cancer tree with the theme 'It's Time For A Change', and seriously brought tears to my eyes. It was huge and surrounded by clocks. All kinds of clocks; clock ornaments, clock tree topper, clocks on the floor that had meaningful messages with them and as you can see a grandfather clock that was intertwined into the tree with bright pink ribbon. So beautiful and so well decorated.


There were a couple of tributes to Michael Jackson. This one was particularly well done and had a cute tree topper with his hat and glove.

Big Bird is a tree, bet you didn't know that! This was interesting because it was simply so tall! The feathers looks so real and it was put together so darling with all the little characters.
I'm thinking about decorating and donating a Stampin' Up! tree next year; wouldn't that be FUN??
