Oh Christmas Tree {Just a Couple Tips}

I love decorating for Christmas.  Hanging the garland.  Putting up the little doodads here and there. Twinkle lights here and there.  Most of all I love decorating the centerpiece of the season... the Christmas tree! Oh, how I love it so...hmmmm.  Anyways, there are a couple things I'm learning here and there. 

  1. Get Inspired:  I went to one of my favorite stores for Christmas decor to check out their displays. I found one tree that stood out and bought the decor I saw on the tree.
  2. Choose Your Items:  I used a wood letters, ribbon, and wooden ornaments.  Simple enough right? Well make sure each piece compliments the other.  Even if you only choose a few things try and get them in different sizes to give a little more variety. 
  3. Know When to Stop: I don't know about you but I could add every Christmas decor item I have to my tree.  I know a lot of the stores put so much on tree that you can't even see the branches anymore, but that is because they are trying to sell a product.  You can put on too much.
Now this is all just my opinion and a couple things I've heard.  

Here is my tree for this year. Unfortunately, I had a hard time getting a good picture of the tree all lit up.




More decor to come. :)
Feel free to share your tree.
