Christmas Collector's Alley!
Denis Marie over at Christ is the Heart of Christmas wants us all to share our Christmas Collections!Please visit her for Details.........
Many of you know that I decorate my home with 12 Christmas trees! If it has lights or ornaments on it, it counts.
I need to start early because I am doing 2 Craft Fairs in Nov., along with keeping my booth at the shop stocked and working full time!
I LOVE to have the house fully decorated by Thanksgiving so I can sit back then and enjoy the fruits of my labor.
This year, I plan on having the upstairs done by Halloween so I will not have to worry about it.
I started yesterday and tree Number 1 is done!!
This was my Craft Room year last year........
A 6 Foot potted tree.....
At our church Flea market, this 6 foot slim came in and was covered with poinsettias.
I bought it and took all of those poinsettia out to reveal this beauty.
No I didn't add another tree to make it 13!!
I decided to switch some trees around.
It ended up as my new Craft Room Tree!!
The 6 foot potted tree will go in the Guest Room now.
I normally don't use anything but beaded garland on my trees but I liked this fluffy white garland that I bought for 25 cents a pack at a church Flea Market.
It reminded me of snow flakes.....
There are pink and white lights on this tree and this ribbon bow and flowers are the topper...
I like to think of this as my Shabby pink and white tree!
Some of my ornaments....
The little boy skater is from Micheal's this season....
The mitten is from my dear friend, Ginger, at GLITTER AND ROSES

INSPIRATION!
These are ornaments from Micheal's that I bought last year. I figured I could make similar ones from the boxes that you get when you buy jewelry.......
Then I saw this beauty in J.C. Penney's this season!!
I thought..." someone took all the bloggers ideas and manufactured an ornament!"
And so I was inspired to create similar items for my upcoming Craft Fairs!!
Here's what i came up with so far....
My Pink Collection...
Ornaments and plaques..
Victorian Burgundy Ornaments....
A plaque....
Another one out of a larger box...
Red ornaments....
These are some wooden angels that I made...
I can't paint so I got out my Modge Podge........
