Hello everyone the holiday is is near and Shan and I are gearing up to have all the kids and a few friends in and out this month so my heart strings are bein pulled a bit more than usual and I think that Shan is even excited with me.
We started with the Christmas tree last weekend after I searched online for a color scheme that would appeal to me. I finally decided on red,turquoise,and a lil chocolate brown, so off we went to Target and this is what we came up with : I shared this @

I like the way it turned out but if I had to do it over again I would have bought larger brown ornaments to bring more brown color in.
Some of these ornaments I already had but I purchased a few more. My favorite ornament this year happens to be the plush mushroom don't you think its too cute! I'm visiting over @

One thing that has taken me by surprise was the price of tree skirts last year. I chose not to even use one for this reason, I just refuse to pay that amount for my tree to be fashionable lol. This year I found a skirt that would fit any budget 3.99 from GW! Yep an actual skirt! I bought it in the larger sized section it has lots of ruffles which is exactly the look I wanted for my tree.I tore it down the center and and just wrapped it around the base until it looked pleasing to me.Stop by
