we're getting there...
Okay, I'm starting to feel it. I've been listening to Christmas music since yesterday. I bought a few gifts. I'm beginning to have the urge to actually make a few gifts.
These are the first of the decorations to make an appearance. I couldn't resist these little cuties from the dollar section of Target. If you can't tell, I prefer a candy colored Christmas as opposed to the traditional red and green. I don't have it all planned out yet, but I think I'll be making some new decorations this year. Something with felt. And buttons. Oh yes, the wheels are turning.
Uh-huh, the Christmas bug has bitten.





Cute!! I love those trees. My cats would REALLY love them, hence there will be no cute little trees in my house.

How could I have totally missed those trees when I was there the other day??? We're making some pink sparkle trees for the girls' bathroom, but I think one of those would fit right in! I can't wait to see what you come up with. :)

I love your candy colored trees - I sense that a trip to Target's Dollar Spot can't be far off!

I saw those trees when we in Seattle last weekend, but they weren't in the dollar section, or I would have bought them.

We managed to get the tree up in the attic bedroom.A 6 foot white covered in pink and silver! Kitty and Josie love it.The rest of the house will have to wait though as we still have wallpapering to do!
I love those little trees.Wish we had something like a dollar section at Target!

Cool little trees! I miss having a target 5 minutes from my house. Here it's more like 45 minutes so I miss these fun little things!

Oh dear me... those trees are so sweet they nearly rotted my teeth!

Great trees! I am into the candy colored Christmas decor too. The red and green just doesn't match my decor as well. And it's fun to mix it up. Love the advent calendar incident too. :)

Cute little trees! Can't wait to see what all you come up with. My wheels are turning and turning and turning. The piles are accumulating and I'm running in circles myself.
