Terri's Trees

This is my first blog and my friend Teresa has finally convinced me to get into the blogging scene. I have decorated trees with Teresa for several years. At one time she would come to my house and decorate for Christmas. Amazingly, she wanted me to put out some of her decorations this year for a different look. But when it comes to trees, Teresa rocks. And I feel like I've learned from the best.

I'm not sure I'm doing any of this right. I may have to get a little help from my friend. But I wanted to post some of the trees I decorated this year.
This is my main tree in the den with reds and golds. I love my red room so it fits in perfectly. Lots of texture with berries, sticks, tassles, and hundreds of ornaments.


The next tree is in my office/guest room. I love, love, love the Santas. Inspiration colors are green, copper, brown and white with touches of gold. I think it worked great together.

Here's a tree I did for my back porch. It has lots of outside touches with birdhouses, glass ornaments filled with birdseed. I even used some crazy looking mushrooms that grew in our yard to add some interest.
Now a collection of various trees I decorated for my family this year. Santa trees, kid trees and my personal favorite the ladybug tree. Enjoy!
This was for my niece's ladybug birthday party. And a closeup of the handpainted ladybug.
More family trees. . . .no wonder I'm exhausted! And there are several I don't have photos of yet.
