Burlap Garland Christmas Tree


Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree ... sorry, got sidetracked once again!  Anyway, this year's Christmas tree has wide burlap garland running from top to bottom.  My girls said it didn't leave enough room for ornaments but as you can see, this tree is stuffed to the gills (and we didn't even put all of them up)!  
Picture
The living room is decked out from head to toe.  See more of the mantel and how I used an old bed spring here!
Picture
Every year, we give the girls a new ornament when we decorate the tree.  This year, they are rocking out with a flute and clarinet, which they each play.  We also have lots of pictures of the girls - either crafts they've done or in mini frames.  It's fun to see them through the years up on the tree.
Picture
Our metal angel tops the tree.  The girls argue about who gets to put it on the tree every year so they take turns - one puts it up, then we take it off and the other one puts it back up!  Ah, the competitive nature of twins!!

Loving the wide burlap which I ran from top to bottom in twists and turns.

An old galvanized tub will be filled with presents and that little snowman is a painted gourd!

Found this cute little elf in my mom-in-laws attic.  Poor guy was dying to escape that box so I rescued him (haven't told hime he's going back in the box after Christmas!  We have lots of The Hubs old ornaments up too.

Love the reflection in the french door.

We have not one, but two trees this year - check out my alternative Ladder Tree!

Santa, all I want for Christmas is photography lessons!  Capturing the twinkling lights of the tree is so hard (whaaah)!

Merry Christmas To All!
