{ Trimming The Santa Tree }

Long time no post!
This is the only decor I have up at the moment GASP I know! I have been so busy with Etsy orders my Christmas Decor has gone by the wayside for a bit. Well that along with housekeeping.... 



But here is our 9 foot Santa tree, she's not 100% done as I think she needs more snowflakes crammed in her branches. 
Yes there is a tree under there somewhere. 
My sister in law put it best when she said that Christmas Decorations threw up all over her tree. 
She and I have the same tree taste, we love the decorations.
But I think she looks awesome and I love it!
And if you ordered a family stitchery here is an update:
I have been busy stitching my little heart out! I eat, sleep & dream stitching. On Sunday I stitched from 11:30 in the morning to 
12:30 at night (er morning)..... See told you it's all I do. :)

Hopefully I can get all 11 of my orders out the door in the next 2 days. I usually give myself a month to do 1 stitchery but I have done 11 in a month! So it's been crazy around here trying to get all those done being a mom to 5, a wife to 1 and trying to have some semblance of a life in the meanwhile.

  18. I love love love your tree! I think the more stuff the better. As I sit here and type this, my daughter is reminding me that I have plates on my tree. I just wanted to let you in on a secret that makes us tree shovers life much easier come next year.
    If you have the space to store your tree upright-saran wrap that baby. Go to the dollar store and buy about 10 rolls. Then go round and round. Come next year, it just needs a little sprucing and you are good to go. (that is if your lights don't go out) Yes-that has happened to me before! Good luck with the stiching!!
