Christmas Tree

Wednesday, December 12, 2007

Over the weekend we got a tree. They were selling them just a couple of blocks from our place so we were able pick it out and then carry it back, me holding the trunk, Duck holding the tip. We pretended we had just cut it down ourselves.

Lighting the tree

We don't have a tree every year, and so we don't have a lot of ornaments. The ones we do have we bought during after-Christmas sales at Michaels, and even then I don't like spending my money that way. So I'm always trying to find other ways to decorate the tree without breaking the bank.

Letterpress gift tags

I came across these beautiful letterpress gift tags at Black Ink the other day. They come in a package of 5, complete with little holes punched at top and a small packet of pretty string. The paper is thick, the design is simple, but all in all way too nice to be used as gift tags.

So I repurposed them into ornaments.

Ornaments

Yay.
