Yes, this is my recycled

Christmas tree. It was in the garbage and the bottom part of it was pretty bad, so Teresa helped me undo the bottom half and only used the top of it. Used a couple of cans of snow, old bulbs that were thrown out, an inexpensive teal beads, silver tinsel and there she is. All prim and proper. Then I did the garland with blues and teas, have my Santa's from Miss Wilma's on the fireplace and other junk as you can see sitting around. And yes, that is a real fire in my real fireplace.

I finished decorating today. It took me a long time this year to get a little bit done each day, but I finally have it up and it feels festive here. The snow outside helped too.....grin.

Hope each of you are enjoying your family and friends, relationships after all are the most important gifts we can give each other.........
