her days are numbered.

well, it's my first post in the new year, and i am still talking about christmas.

and yes, i'm talking about my tree again.

i realized that i never really shared the finished product.

so here she is, all done up, in my "rustic chic" theme.

i had never really done a themed tree before,

but i was so bored with just the strands of lights and colorful ornaments.

so, i went to hobby lobby and walmart

and found a few goodies.

i used some burlap for the skirt,

and trimmed with lace {from the fabric section}

strands of gold beads,

twigs, gold ball ornaments,

these white sprig things {looks almost like baby's breath}

and topped it with a big, cream bow.

besides the gold accents, i pretty much avoided all of the crazy christmas sections...they can be a little over kill at hobby lobby and walmart!

i also only chose to use my ornaments that had some white, gold, cream, or silver in them.

too bad she is going to the chipper this weekend.

at least i have my new winter wreath that i found at that estate sale!
