My Christmas Table Tops

This table is on the landing upstairs, so no one sees it except our family.

I am so happy I took the time to decorate it though because I pass it many times each day and

 it makes me happy.

The framed map of Paris is always on the table and so are the faux paper whites. 

 I just added the trees and sparkly NOEL.

See the mercury glass tree in front? I bought it last December.

This year I looked everywhere for a second one and planned to use them on my mantel.

I finally found one (and the store only had one).

My husband then accidentally broke the new one. :(

I never could find anymore, but I actually really like the mix of trees in different materials, so its all good!

I made the ruffled tree.

I started with a shiny tree I found discounted and then took off all the garland.

I then used hot glue to attach layers of white cotton ruffle trim.

The store I got the trim from only had three yards so I ended up having to cut the tree down so the plastic The wood tree was on clearance last year and the white sweater tree I got from Target last year

 for only five bucks.

In my entry way I have a red, green and white woodland display.

The mushrooms, gnome and mushroom house were all from World Market.

I bought them last year, but they are selling similar things this year.

I placed the gnome and green mushrooms in a birch basket I found at the thrift store.

The artwork is a gift bag I bought from the 99 cents store.

I cut out the front of the bag and used poster board as backing anf then placed it in a frame I already own.

I finally started to run out of steam decorating for Christmas.

It starts out fun and then I reach a point where I just want to be d.o.n.e.

I just stuck an old wreath up (that I love) and placed a deer candle holder on one side.

On the other side of the wreath I placed two gray frames I own.

In the small frame I simply stamped a red crown on white paper.

The crown stamp was from the cheap section at Michael's and I used red paint instead of ink.

The deer print is another gift bag from the 99 cents store!

Today was my boys last day of school. I love having them home for Christmas break!

So excited to bake cookies and listen Christmas music and go look at lights and go to the movies 

and on and on!
