Beautiful Junque: CHristmas Wonder!!

Ok folks, so I have almost finished my Christmas Decorating, with Christmas only being two weeks away yikes!!(still have not done the shopping double yikes!) Well I will not fret yet because every year somehow some way it seems to get done just in the "nick" of time. Well, if you go back to the last post I had been working on a thrift store find redo. Here is the find below:

I found a set of these and even though they looked kind of sad like a Charlie Brown tree I just could not leave them sitting there on the shelf I knew they had potential!!! I decided to make some of my own little ornaments for my two Charlie Brown trees..

And this is how they turned out on the trees...

I just love my little Charlie Brown trees with the Hand stamped book page ornaments & the vintage light reflectors added for some Holiday *SHINE* I added a little lace bow at the base for just the right touch :) They have there place on our mantle below..

Here are some more peaks into my Country Christmas...

One thing I love about Christmas is *TRADITION*..One of our traditions is to bring out our homemade Christmas stockings with each family members name on it and hang it in it's place on the mantle..This year I thought I would add a little *BLING* to the stockings with glittered initials!

Another Tradition we enjoy like most families is decorating the tree & taking out those old ornaments from our childhood and the handmade one's from our own Children..There is something magical about placing those ornaments on the tree....of course I mixed the old with some new as you can see below...

At the bottom of the tree is my handmade Ruffle tree skirt that I made last year and Love!!! At the top is my stuffed *believe* star & I decided to gather the Hydrangeas(my favorite flower) at the top of the tree this year instead of dispersing them all about the tree.. I think it adds a little pizazz to the top!
