Christmas Tree Winner

THE BIG ONE!

Our 10' living room tree.

(I have no idea how many ornaments that are actually on it, but there really is a tree under there.)

First, I want to say thank you to everyone who stopped by and entered into my giveaway and stopped to see all of my trees.  My favorite part was reading about all of your wonderful Christmas traditions.  

The common tradition most of you had was spending time with family.

As my children would say in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, Clark Griswold fashion, "drum roll please!"

There are

 11

Christmas trees in my home.

One in the living room.

One in the dinning room.

One in my office.

One in the kitchen.

One in the master bed room.

One in the future master bed room.

One in my daughter's room

One in my son's room.

One in the hallway for my youngest child.

One in the basement.

and finally

One in the cupola.

Another drum roll please..........

and the winner is

Julie from SALTBOX TREASURES!

I will be visiting you soon to get your address.

I wish I could send everyone a giveaway.  Thank you to everyone who entered, but don't go too far because

Wooohoo that was fun!  I may just have to try another giveaway in the future.

I am sharing ALL of my trees with Cindy from My Romantic Home for Show and Tell Friday and Tinsel and Company for Deck The Halls Friday.

Make sure to stop by and visit all the other wonderful bloggers too.  I know that's where I am headed, I may get some new Christmas decorating ideas.

Happy Friday and have a wonderful weekend. 

I think I need a break, I set a record getting all of those trees done in one week, I must say it normally takes more than that.

Teacup Tree

I hope everyone has had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends.

I spent Thanksgiving with my family at my father's home and we enjoyed tasty food,

lots of laughs and yummy pie.

  Friday I will be out early bird shopping with my sister while my husband and children sleep in.

I prepared my post early so that I would not miss out joining Debra from Common Ground for Vintage Inspiration Friday, Vintage Christmas.
Also, in keeping with the holiday festiveness I have discoved a new blog called Tinsel and Company and I am joining them for Deck the Halls Friday.

For the past six or so years I have been decorating a special tree in my dinning room and it has become one of my favorite trees in my home.

Yes, you did read TREES.

I decorate this tree using my vintage teacups tied on with white ribbon, white roses, white doves and a mix of large and small white ornaments.

I couldn't forget my little snow girls that hang in my white decorated trees.

  Sometimes I find special ornaments that are added to the tree throughout the Christmas season.

My children love to eat dinner during the month of December by Christmas tree light.

I have had to explain to my children that most homes do not have as many Christmas trees as we do and that their mom is kind of crazy with the trees.  My darling Mr. M. said "no, mom's not crazy, she is just overly festive."  My kids piped in "yeah, mom is the festivist mom ever."

So, to celebrate my festiveness I am going to have a GIVEAWAY. 

 Come back on Saturday for all the details.

Don't forget to stop by Common Ground and Tinsel & Company visit all of the Vintage Friday and Deck the Halls blogs.

I hope you have a wonderful day!
