the tree


i love trees. i have loved decorating christmas trees since the year i left home to go to school in texas. when i got home that year for the holidays, my parents said i could do anything with the tree that i wanted. so...it was all white that year. it may have even been flocked (i know....70s throwback). it had crystals and sparkly things all over it. not a ONE single homemade ornament from when i was little was on there. it was great. after that year, i was in charge of the trees. each year, we had themes based on colors.


last year, we moved into our house, and didn't have a tree. we got one after the holiday sale that was 90% off. we put it up, just to see what it would look like in the house....and left it up til March. i guess we liked it. we bought TONS of ornaments and everything and thought, YES, it is time!


well, our tree is frankly boring. we did a bow on it that just looks like a stupid bridesmaids dress gone bad. it's terrible. i bought some glittery eucalyptus and branches that seemed to help out somewhat, but still. we will buy a star instead of the bow (which was so bad, i couldn't take a picture of it). but, as of now, this is our tree.
