Yesterday I decided it was high time I decorated the tree. So I put up all the stuff, turned off the lights and got ready to "ahhh". But the tree looked so drab with just plain colored lights. So I came up with a fantastic idea: Just color the lights on your own! So I did just that. I happened to have some Sharpies laying around, so I took an hour or two and hand colored all of the lights. The tree looks much better now.
Sweet success. I even did the back lights. I figured that if we use those lights again next year, and they are positioned differently, I didn't want to have to get the Sharpies out again.
This is a little tree in our living room that I did. My mom bought a whole bunch of measuring spoons and we attached ribbons to them. Viola, ornaments.
Now here are some pictures that I took a while ago.
No, it did not get so cold that everything froze up. We just happened to accidentely leave our sprinklers on that night. It made everything look like a winter wonderland! But it also made everything die very fast.
Our cherry tree leaves.
And that is what has been going on :) Now, if you will scroll down, you find find a whole other post.

...Or you could have just used colored lights in the first place, or strung them over the white ones. But whatever. No one will have a tree quite like yours!
We didn't have colored lights. And dad is against going to the store to buy some when you have like 5 boxes of plain colored ones. Sigh...
WOW! there is dedication for you way to make your tree beautiful :)
Thanks for making our house beautiful and for capturing the beauty outside our house.
