Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree!!!!!

AND........... Here she is!!!! Our Beautiful Homemade, farm grown, tree!!
And if you're wondering why my curtain looks like its falling down... I'm going to credit that one to our designated tree plugger....
I know I previously posted about our ornament ideas, courtesy of pinterest.com, but we also did the ole faithful paper chain and of course spray painted pine cones :)
This picture is a testament to how long it took us to complete our project.  Our ornaments sort of set up camp on the kitchen table for a few days while they dried, we painted them, and the paint dried :)... Here's Olivia packing her lunch, surrounded by our craftiness...

Another idea from Pinterest: Flatten a toilet paper tube, cut into 5 strips, glue them together with all the corners meeting in the middle, dry, and spray paint, and voila! I had been calling them snowflakes, but the kids spray painted a couple of them red, and they sort of look like poinsettias... so now they're flower/snowflakes :).

I'm totally in love with our final product that has been several weeks in the making ;). It has been a lot of fun!
