MaderDesign 3 Posted November 27, 2009 Very nice FutureSFtswife! Looks tall as well how big is it? And Love the windows. Thats one thing I wish we had more of in our house. I wanted about 50 more windows in our house lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wanted about 50 more windows in our house lol Thank you! I believe it's 15'. We use a 12' ladder to decorate (that I made look like a candy cane ladder, of course) - and the ladder is definitely smaller than the tree. When we were looking for a home big enough for our blended family, we walked into this house and were stunned. The windows are spectacular. The moldings are just as beautiful. I'm so against covering them with window treatments because they're such a huge focal point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FutureSgtsWife 0 Posted November 28, 2009 Mader... is that pic from this year? do you have presents underneath it already? What type of tree skirt do you have? I was insane last year trying to find a decent sized one - so I made my own using a 70" round woven table cloth and white flock vinyl. I posted a pic in a post last week.

I wrapped a couple things for her today She didn't know I was buying stuff for her, had to pay with cash or she'd see the bill lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest kenya Posted November 28, 2009 Here's our little tree. I'm going to use the same one this year. These photos are from last year. My husband's birthday present (a black lab we named Jett), was waiting for Santa. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
camillekindle 0 Posted November 28, 2009 This is our tree. We got it on craigslist for $50. The bottom half is ornament less now since our 1 year old has been practicing his throw all around the house. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
camillekindle 0 Posted November 28, 2009 BTW Mader your tree looks great! Is it you or your wifes doing? Or a combo effort? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted November 28, 2009 Nice everyone -w e are not sure on the tree this year - the Labrador is not tree friendly. last year my wife bought a smaller one and I took the glass out of an end table to set the tree in as a stabilizer. I bought him a Jingle collar with sleigh bells today, really cure after he got used to it and running away from it for 5 minutes. MY daughter just doesn't think it is right but if my wife can dress the poor thing up for Halloween every year I can put bells on him at Christmas! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Booper 2 Posted November 28, 2009 Jesus yer trees look like a Macy's catalog! We're a little more simpler folk, we tend more towards blinking colored lights and popcorn garlands in our small apartment. LOL! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got a bell collar for Duncan last year - and our bunny had one, too, but she died last week. The parrot would FREAK OUT if I even thought of going near her with a "costume" again...

Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted November 28, 2009 Yeh and try to ring that parrots bell - they are more protective of their bells than a dog of it's food, ok most dogs Brinkley would willingly share Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
