My tartan tree skirt was a super easy DIY project. I picked up a round
table cloth from TJ Maxx, cut a slit to the middle and then cut a
circle where the tree stand would go. It needed a little something
extra so I added red pom pom trim around the edge.
I've so enjoyed all the house tours people have posted, so here is a tour of my own
My ornament mantel swag I call a work in progress. Its made of shatterproof ornaments, and a TON of them. I purchased 10-12 boxes of large ornaments last year on sale and I thought it would have been more than enough. Little did I know it wouldn't even cover half of the swag. So a few more boxes later and this is how it looks this year. I'm hoping I can pick up a bunch more boxes during the after Christmas sales so I can add to it.
Now its time to sit by the fire, watch Home Alone with a cup of egg nog and enjoy the rest of this Christmas Season.

I adore that swag! I attempted to start one and realized I did not have nearly enough! And recently lost my wreath made from ornament balls that were not shatterproof
You are so smart! Love your tree skirt!!! Merry Christmas!
