But basically they are decorative twiggy things with pre-wired led's mixed in. Pretty cool- and they come in both a plug in and battery powered version!Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15874532559538690369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-7348330988991971852012-12-05T18:23:32.517-05:002012-12-05T18:23:32.517-05:00*sings* "Just put some clock faces on it and ...*sings* "Just put some clock faces on it and call it steeeeeeeampuuuuuunk..." ;)The Nature Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17799362200935742710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-54375590692622295162012-12-05T09:10:53.061-05:002012-12-05T09:10:53.061-05:00I was already feeling guilty about not decorating ...I was already feeling guilty about not decorating yet, but I'm home with a sick kid and decided to get going.

I want you to know I'm living vicariously through your pictures for holiday decorations this year because we're moving the week before Christmas and I just can't bring myself to unpack one of the few boxes that is actually already packed.

One of the decorations is something we've affectionately dubbed "sticks in a bucket". They are literally plastic buckets with sticks covered in lights sticking out like a sad little bouquet. That's all I could think of when I saw the (admittedly far more elegant) branches in an urn. :) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-45811526594437446622012-12-04T15:22:40.378-05:002012-12-04T15:22:40.378-05:00I have a pirate cat that I just cannot trust with ...I have a pirate cat that I just cannot trust with a tree. So I'm probably going to buy one of those rosemary bushes this year. I think they're so pretty. I usually just put out my Fitz and Floyd boxes and decos my grandpa used to give me and some candles. I also have stockings for everyone, including the cats, dogs and horses. Plus, our dogs and cats wear Christmas collars!<br /><br />I love all of this except the tree--I just don't like not being able to see the tree under all the "stuff."<br /><br />I once put together a wreath that was a grapevine wreath that I wrapped chili pepper lights on...yeah.

I tried making pipe cleaner springy things like those in the Disney post the other day, and they were so easy and look so cute, so now I'm festooning every bit of garland in the house with tons more of them, much to my husband's delight. (Laughing like a maniac and telling me I'm crazy counts as delight, right?)Andihttp://kidsbyhand.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-17056341231788848912012-12-04T10:09:44.077-05:002012-12-04T10:09:44.077-05:00My decorating is simple and plain.

It is decorated with all the ornaments my children have picked out each year since they were born. (well, I picked the first one for each of them. LOL) The ornaments range from Veggie Tales to trains to Tie Fighters and Chewbacca. You name, we more than likely have it in some form or another. I call it a memory tree. The angel is handmade by my husbands aunt out of a quilt that his great-grandmother made. The tree skirt has my children's handprints over a 5 year span.<br /><br />I <3 my tree!<br /><br />However, my niece informed me this year that my tree is weird. <br /><br />I told her that's ok. We are a weird family. :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10887008979759535553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-74986129425866978642012-12-04T09:46:53.187-05:002012-12-04T09:46:53.187-05:00Pretty!
