I wanted to create this layout of our Christmas Tree for 2012...
For the last few years now.. The kids & I discuss on which color theme we with go with this year for Christmas!!!
after seeing a Christmas tree VIA Pinterest with the rows of coIoured balls, I asked the kids what was there thoughts on this & they like me LOVED it!!
So this year was color theme for US...
down the right side I've used the Green Tara herringbone Black & Turquoise ribbons, along with some Gorgeous Green Tara Lace with some gold Stars on the wire 
I've cut up some of the Black Herringbone ribbon  to create arrow/chevron strips....
along with a 3cm Purple velvet leave, a couple of the newer flowers a 3cm white lace pearl flower & 6cm wild rose pale blue..
That's it for today! I best go tidy up & Organize this house....
as I have 3 of my nephews staying with us for the 5 days..
