Oh Christmas Tree

As a follow on from my post last week,
"Thinking of a Theme"
today's post is our almost finished Christmas tree...
I was hoping to have an angel on the top this year, to fit the theme.
But I haven't found one yet!
And I couldn't wait another moment to put this post up because there are only 20 days until Christmas and I'm dying to see everyone's tree.

So, here it is, so far.
Our "Wings & Bling" Christmas tree.

I'll update again when the angel is discovered!

I'm posting photos of my favourite ornaments every day until Christmas on my photo blog...

The Happy Shutterbug.

I'd love it if you popped over to  take a peek.

If you have a gorgeous tree that you would like to show off,

please, please, please

And just for your listening pleasure...enjoy!



The 52 Week Project - Christmas Tree

Every week I'll be linking with @mymummydaze and her "52 Week Project".

She says...

No, this isn’t a diet or exercise regime. It’s not a responsible financial system or an abstinence program. It’s not even a relationship-building sex challenge (although that does sound fun). Although I’m sure I could benefit from all of these year-long challenges, this is much simpler with no great philosophy or life-changing aims underpinning it. It’s a weekly photography self-portrait challenge.

I know I've missed a couple of weeks.

I ran out of ways of taking a photo of myself!

But someone missed it (hi Lib!) so I'm back at it this week.

The past week has been all about the Christmas Tree for me.

It's been up for a week.

I'm putting a photo a day of Christmas ornaments on my

Happy Shutterbug

blog.

And as soon as a find an angel for the top of the tree

I'll be posting a pic of our tree with a linky so I can see everyone's gorgeous trees.

So, here is me, with our tree...without the angel.

Thinking of a Theme.....

I love to have a theme for decorating the Christmas tree.
Some years the theme is just-throw-on-whatever-I-have.
Two years ago I wrote a post about my recent themes. You can see that HERE.
Last year I wrote another post about our tree....s. And added a linky. You can see that HERE.

So this year I was pondering what theme to go with...and it hit me.

This year the tree will be decked out in...

WINGS & BLING

Wings on angels & fairies, birds & butterflies.
And bling for anything that shimmers & sparkles, glistens & glitters.

We put the tree up yesterday but it's not quite finished yet.
I need to buy some more angels & fairies.
More sparkles, more glitter.
And a big angel for the top of the tree.
The star is being replaced this year!

Here it is at Phase One...

I'll be updating and adding the linky so I can see all of your gorgeous trees soon!

Is yours up yet?
