O, Christmas tree
It’s Christmas! With just one week to go, I think I can get a bit excited about the festive season now. All my shopping’s done, the tree’s up, tasty treats are baked, the house smells of oranges, presents are wrapped – job done! Compared with last year, I feel very smug and organised – particularly because I decided not to bother buying a tree this time around (£60 it cost me in 2011, £60!!!) but thought I’d fashion an alternative one that wouldn’t cost a pretty penny.
So I went a-foraging with the boy and came home with five sticks, all ready to be tied together with twine and decorated in a just-as frugal way (I went with dried oranges, which look lovely!).

A beautiful rustic tree, I love it!
Thanks – it does look really sweet! I just found another tree online that’s made of books…totally doing that next year!
Just love it!

Aw, thanks! Glad you like it! Hopefully see you over Christmas? x
Like the snow too – great idea.
totally confused me with that comment for a moment! can’t take credit for the snow, i’m afraid… that’s all WordPress… but yes, it is a great idea!
It really does look wonderful. Amazing and so very pretty. Would you like to do one here? Plenty of wood.
maybe, maybe!!
That looks AMAZING! I bet it smells delicious too – nice job!

it does smell yummy – although I thought the dried oranges would smell more than they do. I may tie some cinnamon sticks to it later!
