The tree is finally finished. I don't know if it meets the standards of a designer tree, but I tried. But no one can say that it looks like the trees I have decorated in the past. Since this project took so much time, I may not put up the second one that I had last year. At least I am not in a rut.
One photo shows the tree with at least 700 lights. This is an artificial tree and as I put up each layer of branches, I wrapped the lights around them, with lights all the way to the center. Then I made decorative sprays with poinsettias, greens, a gold ornament and gold bow, which are shown on the second photo. And then the final result with as many large decorations as I had, staying with the gold, red and white theme.
On to baking, cleaning the house, and wrapping gifts to put under the designer tree.
Today is our 38th wedding anniversary. Gerry took the day off. We are planning to go out for dinner tonight at Pad Thai. We'll see if I take pictures of the entree like fellow bloggers do.
