O Christmas Tree!
At least the tree is up! (And looking rather splendid in it’s new position in the bay window. Was it worth it? Give me another 48 hours and I’ll let you know…)
With it’s assortment of memories..this one bought when Bella was born.
This from our life in Italy.
This was lovingly made at nursery by Charlie.
My Bella.
Our homemade pasta and cranberry garlands are still going strong after YEARS!
Heading out now to buy cellotape..and lots of candles..lots and lots…

Memories are the center of Christmas…..not how much you can add to the overdraft! I take great pleasure in finding ‘treasures’ the kids made in years gone by when I dress the tree. Yours looks fabulous….of course xx

Beautiful. I love the perspective in the first pic. Nice moldings. 🙂
I love trees with such great memories on them. 🙂
I just love Christmas Trees when they are filled with memories. Our house is bedazzled and bedecked with things the girls have made over the years! Aaaaah! Joy!
You are on fire this month lady blogger! Loving the commitment and your work.
Merry Festive Happy Tidings to you and yours!
I just KNEW you would have the most fabulous tree! Happy Christmas!!
Love the “memories”.
Your hard work has paid of ! Be proud .xxx
I love your tree!
OOh, so pretty! I must post some pics of my tree to. We’re rather proud of it this year! It’s a bird tree this year.
Now these I must see! And want to know how your craft night went..pics??? xxxx
Really like the pasta garlands. May have to have a go at that!
So easy!..my tip – put the pasta in a large air-tight plastic bag then spray into the bag and shake – turn out on cut-up bin bags to dry. I think the white spray paint with the pasta with grooves was the most successful. When we first did these we did popcorn garlands as well – very nice – but not great on the longevity ..good luck! xxx
Thanks for the tips, as I was just going to string some pasta together!!
You’re tree is fabulous. I especially love the pasta-and-cranberry garland! It looks great.xx
