O Christmas Tree

O Christmas tree is right mine has given me fits this year its leaning and can't be fixed. I think the pole bent on its little trip to the floor last year:( I hate to get a new one this one is only 3 years old and was'nt cheap so the coach has reminded me a few times since it has went up. lol We went with the red and white theme with some silver. it has red and white lights on it.

We've been busy getting ready for the jolly old elf and making some of our Christmas presents. I'll have to post some pics after I get them done lol maybe lol
I hope everyone is getting ready and staying warm.

Getting An Early start on Christmas

Hey everybody its been so crazy here with my aunts death and the holidays and everything going on I haven't had time to post or really do a whole lot. But I did start on some Christmas stuff just to get ahead of the rush and I've been thrifting a couple of times did get a few good deals I'll have to take some pics of my finds and post. First i made this wonderful wreath i saw on someones blog in Red, Silver and white to match my tree. I did get a deal to make this 2 things of 69 ornaments for 2.00 a piece so I had plenty and the wreath was 1/2 off at hl so It cost me 7.00 all together woo hoo.

The next one was the wreaths for our church doors I brought them home and redid them to match the new ornaments to decorate our trees in red and gold. I have seven trees to decorate this year and I already started this past weekend so pics to follow maybe next week:)

Have a wonderful weekend. And GO BUCKEYES !!!! Beat Michigan again....

this is her snowman tree in the family room.

this is our sunday school tree all girly.

here's the gifts I made for the girls in hubby's office a coaster stamped with a cute quote that says "All you need in life is a friend who has chocolate" and then we added a Hershey bar with the old fashion wrapper and all tied up with a bow.

This is my Robinson family household gift for hubby's family Christmas party we have to bring a gift to pass around mine's movie and popcorn night with Christmas Vacation and the Polar Express. Okay I'm sure your bored already:) I need to go run a few last min. errands and then I'm done yeah!!!! don't forget those cute stockings. Have a Wonderful Holiday Season if I don't make it back before Christmas.

Christmas tree drama!

OH the Christmas Drama at our house. First my sil and her no present buying for her children(like that's going to happen) any who then I get my tree up and was finishing up all the rest of the decorating and yes it happened the tree fell over and most of my glass ornaments that we have had for a long time broke well there it was in all its 7ft glory on the floor. Poor hubby looked at me and I just started crying then him and the d-man picked it up and there was all the glass which made me worse. But what are you going to do its over and I'm fine yes I'm fine I think I'm fine. So here's a photo I took before the big fall and I haven't taken one yet of it now I had to undress it and redo and just haven't had the time. It has red and white lights layered one row red next white and all the ornaments are red and silver and 90% are Ohio State of course with a few of our favorites and lots of sports ornaments.

Here's a few other pics from around the house.

This chair sits by the front door next to my umbrella basket.

here's my frame again but done up for Christmas.

Have a great day:)
