Merry Christmas

We have several Christmas trees. Because we live in a fairly small house, I only put up one tree each year, but I do rotate among them. This year's tree is brand new. It's a Dallas Cowboy themed tree, and it's been a lot of fun to come up with ornaments that stick with the theme, without spending a fortune on "licensed" ornaments. There are quite a bit of licensed ornaments on here, but an even larger number that are not. We're not quite done yet, I have 36 clear glass ornaments that I have to finish (I know it's Christmas eve and I'm terribly behind), the tinsel still needs to go up, and we have blue candy canes to add as well. But here it is in all of it's current glory, and I'm thrilled with how it is coming out

This wreath is getting tons of interest on Pinterest.

I fell in love, and since we're going with a Cowboy themed Christmas this year, I needed a new wreath to fit the color scheme. Here is my take on this widely pinned wreath. I'm still not 100 percent sure this is the final bow, but it looks pretty for now. All of the ornaments were from dollar stores or left over from the tree. The form is a wire hanger, and the ribbon even came from the dollar store.
