Starting to Decorate


I got the tree up and the lights on it. As I told the girls yesterday before I started, I really get cranky putting up the tree and hanging lights.



I brought out the tin can advent candles I made last year for our home school group. I mentioned to Tim I wanted to remake them sometime so that they were nicer - he wasn't impressed by my fussiness.







I made these bottle cap Christmas trees last night. The only one I really like is the tree with the button ornaments. Some of the bottle caps featured include orange juice, mouth wash, glue stick, peanuts, grapefruit juice, miracle whip, and peanut butter. :)


I will be sharing at:
