While the crazies were shopping today, Black Friday, I decided to get out the Christmas decorations. I absolutely love decorating for Christmas. I have two trees in my attic, but I only have the room for one. When I got my own place in college my grandmother gave me a pencil tree she used for twenty plus years in her old home. It's still a beautiful tree (it needs a new stable base), I bought a bigger one a couple of years ago. So now I have two trees.
Anyways... As I was decorating this year I kept thinking about this being the last year I decorate this house. I'm looking forward to having the room to put up multiple trees in my new house and even putting up one on the porch outside. Over the years I have collected tons of ornaments that I do not use anymore and want to use. When I first tree decorating years I decorated with snowmen and have enough snowmen ornaments for a snowman tree. Then I used purple ornaments for several years so I can have a purple tree too. Right now I am using red ornaments, along with my shoe ornament collection and all my special ornaments.
Yes I have a slight obsession with shoe ornaments too!
Here's my small collection.
Last year my mom made me a wreathe with all kinds of fabulous shoes on it.
So here's the finished product.
