******************************************

OOO, don't we just LOVE this time of year.

Last December, I played with DebbieDoo in her 

CHRISTMAS MAGAZINE COPY CAT CHALLENGE 

and, as always, had so much fun.

In fact...I had so much fun LAST year, I decided on doing TWO
for this year...:))

♥DECEMBER OF 2011♥

I copied POTTERY BARN'S
beautiful Christmas Ball Wreath.
Here is a craft I can do...just using my glue gun.

Theirs is on the left...mine on the right.

I used an olden wreath I already had and Christmas balls that I'd had for years plus a few from Hobby Lobby at their half-price sale.

...and.....I like MY shabby, chippy PICKET FENCE even better that PB's...:)

I plan to add more RED balls to it for THIS season....or maybe next.
(It is SOOO hard to decorate around moving boxes...)

I am getting more and more BRAVE with my HOT GLUE GUN...:))
It doesn't GROWL at me when I plug it in, now....

AND NOW FOR MY 2012 CHALLENGE

DEBBIE DOO'S HOLIDAY KNOCKOFF DECOR PARTY
♥
Mr. Sweet and I gave away our 7' tall Christmas tree years ago and opted
for a tiny 4' TableTop tree.
I L♥VE IT...

 While looking thru olden magazines, I found THIS cutie in the
2004 issue of WOMAN'S DAY a few years back.
same size tree as mine....in a darling RED produce basket and....
FELL♥ IN ♥LUV

...now, why had I never thought of that cute trick ?

Not only is it a cute idea....it holds the little tree so snug and secure...
and the bright red basket adds tons to the Christmasey look in the room...

OK, I was off to find a BASKET....










♫♪♪...DECK THE HALLS WITH BOUGHS OF HOLLY.........

and find a BASKET, I did.

and not only did I find a basket...

but I found a RED BASKET...

SHUT THE FRONT DOOR !!!

I put that little 4' cutie right into that

bright RED basket

and was just TICKLED TO DEATH with how she looked.
She loved it, too, 'cause she burst into song....

She  was just FULL of CHRISTMAS CHEER....♥

♪♫♫...fa lala lala la la la la

  The smaller tree is easier for Mr. Sweet and I to handle....

...and I do believe I'll make some paper STARS to hang on the tree.

 My Christmas go-to-store, HOBBY LOBBY,

has all the red and green baskets in the world...well...they DO have a lot.

Mine looks larger than WD's but it's the same size...closer photo.

We wish you the 

Brightest

Shiniest

Healthiest

Happiest 

CHRISTMAS,

EVER.
