I wish you could all see our Christmas Tree! After years of lugging big boxes of Christmas ornaments and lights down and then back up 14 stairs and into the dark recesses of a closet, I decided this year I was going to decorate our tree without getting any of our decorations from the past out of that closet.
Our tree is a live, 5 feet tall tree with 4 strands of multicolor lights, white feather boas used as garlands and over 100 Butterflies that were made with 100 lifesize vinyl butterfly stickers in all colors and shapes. I put the stickers onto color-coordinated felt and cut a frame out around each and every butterfly. Then I took two packages of gold pipe cleaners and wrapped each one around the handle of a wooden spoon and VOILA! Gold icecycles! It looks soooooo pretty! Total cost was less than $50.00 including the cost of the tree! Wait till the Grandkids see it!
I still have to get into the dark recesses of that closet and get out my snowman collection. If ya don't hear from me again on this forum, I'm trapped in that closet...send help...lol

P.s. I've been playing around with the spelling of my name ( weird I know) and I've decided that I will stick with Hannah for good. Sorry I got you all confused. Hugs!! |

Congrats . It sounds pretty> Are you sure you want the snowman collection badly enough to venture into the closet? I have a closet of my own!! I'd stay out if I could!
Looking forward to a picture.
