Just a touch of Christmas


 I wanted a tree in our room...the one I really wanted to begin with I knew I would have to store it.  And I did not want something I had to take to the basement or have my daughter take....and have to bring it back up next year.

I have always loved these little white birch trees...or that is what I call them.  So I got the bright idea to use it and sprinkle a few red ornaments on it.  The light on the tip of the main branches twinkle and the rest stay on steady.  For that I am thankful.  And I do love it. And it folds down and fits into a bock that is maybe 3 inches by 5 or 6...not big. And 36 inches long... Not heavy.  and I can store in our room no problem.

We had a good Christmas...no one sick and everyone here.  Lots of laughter listening to Jeremy and Lorelei and what was going on with friends of theirs.  One thing about the marching band, thought it requires a lot of time, they have made some great friends, and it the whole of the family friends...parents and children.

Today I was just going to kick back and do nothing but then thought I best do some laundry.  And vacuumed a mess I had helped create.  And I just now came down from upstairs...I remembered the scraps from the backing from the orange peel quilt.  I cut borders from them and put them on the little Christmas thing I showed in my last post.  Feels so good to get something done.


I have not visited a single blog today...either I will shortly or will catch up tomorrow...

  1. I like the tree. I really like birch trees. Why don't you put items on it for each occasion? Eggs at Easter, leaves and pumpkins for fall, hearts for Valentines day.

  5. I love that tree, and the red ornaments are perfect. so glad everyone stayed well and you had all your family there, and laughter is good for the soul. I just found a new word on Myras blog today. Soul-flu. I think that is what we have been suffering from...

    Your family Christmas sounds terrific too. Friends and family...the best combination.
    I haven't accomplished anything today except to get up and feed my face. Dave and I seem to be battling sinus colds...oh well, this too shall pass.

  9. Wherever did you find your cute little tree? I'd love to find one and maybe do what Ginny said, hanging seasonal bits on it instead of putting it away.
