Aaron and I put our tree up a few nights ago...despite Calyn vomiting on the way over to pick it up. This year I wanted a "homemade" Christmas tree. So, for the whole week I spent in Leesville, me and my mom made boo-koo ornaments and a rag garland. It turned out so pretty. I love our tree (and so does Calyn).
Oh, and CALYN'S CRAWLING! Which means , as soon as she hits the floor, she makes a beeline for the tree. Can I swat her with a rolled up piece of newspaper? :)

My chartreuse, turquoise, and baby blue garland
The turquoise balls look hunter green in the photo, but their actually pretty bright

Gorgeous! When are you coming over to do my house? ;-)
PA-LEEZ! You DO NOT need my help. Your place is beautiful already!
Jeni. Great tree. I'm super impressed with all those "boo-koo" homemade ornaments. You are awesome.
your tree looks great! ours is rather plain...i bought about 75 "shatter resistant" balls...jackson is a walking destroyer. it's got those and some homemade garland-copied from pottery barn kids.
i love yours! thanks for sharing.
That is SO very cute! Come on over anytime and do mine!
I love a colorful Christmas tree. Nowadays people usually pick a color scheme for their tree (which can look really cute, too) but our tree was always really colorful when I was growing up. So, I like to see colorful trees. Seeing yours has inspired me to make mine more colorful.
Great tree! I especially love the rag garland - how do you do that?
Cathi- you rip strips of scrap fabric (or you can buy some if you want) and tie them to a long piece of twine and scrunch them all together...that's it.
Awesome decorarions! We just put up Christmas lights outside, so as soon as it gets dark...Blog opp!
Wow, what a cute tree! I have a some disco ball ornaments, too :) I'm inspired by the homemade ornaments, maybe I can get my act together and make some for our tree.
Jeni you are so creative! I love the homemade garland on the Christmas tree! Hope you all have a good Christmas this year and I will be sure to get you a card in the mail. I can't believe that Calyn is crawling already.
