Unconventional Christmas Trees

Good Afternoon!

Christmas is just around the corner and I can't wait to go to our local tree farm and get our Christmas tree.

(us last year)

Not everyone likes real Christmas trees or fake ones.

There are those "Artsy" people who always think outside the box and inspire us to think beyond the traditional.

Here are some that have caught my eye..

Would be great for a library.

Whirly Candleholder Christmas Tree

Great idea and when the season is done make them into terrariums : )

Love how the logs are cut to size.  Gorgeous!

Here is one that was inspired by CB2

My daughter drew this for my laundry room.

There is our Unconventional (artsy) Tree.

I will have a lot more to share with you in upcoming posts : )

Have you done something in your Holiday decorating that is different than "normal"?  Would love to hear about it.

Some Link Love DIY And A Giveaway

It's the first day of a new week and my dog..

who is 3yrs old, decides to leave me presents in my house as soon as I get up.  I hope this is not a sign for the week to come.. LOL.

Recently I came across Shannon, from Anythingology, who made a lovely housewarming gift that I wanted to share with all of you.

How cute is this?  Shannon gives you a complete tutorial on how to make this.  I know I am planning on recreating it. I lack in the green thumb department so this project is right up my alley.  Thank you Shannon for sharing.

All of us love giveaways and Midwest Living Magazine is having another one.  “My Best Midwest Getaway Contest,” which invites people to share stories of their favorite vacations anywhere in the Midwest, or one their dreaming of, for a chance to win $2,000 in prizes. If this is something you’re interested in you can enter one of two ways: http://www.bestmidwestgetaway.com or on our Facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/MTITravelIdeas.  Hope you all enter.

Have a great week!
