decorating the tree
I just pulled out all my items for decorating the tree tomorrow. DH really brought the most beautiful tree today. I´m really satisfied with his selection!
I have a wide range of Christmas decoration for the tree, mainly glas balls in the different colours. Each year the familiy don´t know how our tree will look like. Taditional with straw stars, or white and gold, or coloured........??? I love to choose every year a different style of the tree.
When I looked through my Christmas decoration I just found little wood crisp boxes which a girl friend painted for me years ago. It was at a time when children were very young and they always wanted a tree with a lot of chocolate and sweets. I don´t like the look of chocolate at the tree, so my friend made this boxes for me. They are very little about 3 - 4 cm (1,2-1,6inch) and they have a hanger for the tree and you can open them and put sweets inside.
I think they maybe would look nice too with a stitched cover??? Maybe I´ll make some for next Christmas!
