Babe, that really is a good idea. Kayelle, your tree is beautiful and looks fantastic against your dark walls! I have a light color picked out for my walls...which I would love to get painted in 2012. *writes to Santa*
We have our first artificial tree. The last few times that we put up the large tree, we would purchase a live tree, but then Frank's fingers and arms would itch for a few days. We put the new tree up yesterday, and then decorated it today. Tomorrow, I hope to pick-up and clean-up a bit. Honestly, it felt good just to do something after being under the weather all week!
PF, the blue bottle on the mantle is filled with water. It's the current anti-kitty vs. tree plan. The older kitty has never cared about the tree except she loves to lay on the tree skirt. The younger one...well, let's just say I've never seen such huge eyes on a cat before as this one has when she looks at the tree.
So far, we have only had issues with the younger kitty chewing on a tree branch and curling around the manger.
We buy a new ornament each year. When we get this year's ornament, I'll upload the picture of it.
Aunt Bea, I noticed that floor lamp too.
