CHRISTMAS TREE NUMBER 1 DONE!

I have one Christmas tree done!  One more to go.
The next one will come in about a week and a half.  The natural tree.  My yearly fraser fir.

Every year we always get a gorgeous huge fraser fir for our kitchen/great room area for us to enjoy.
Last year, I wanted to do an artificial tree for my living room to enjoy when guests come over.

It is a slim 8 foot tree.

I used a silver and gold colour scheme.  I did not want to venture out that much from my other tree which is gold and red.  I wanted them both to relate to each other.

What do you think?

Here it is, ready for lights.




Almost done.  Forgot to add the ribbon, so I added it carefully at the end.....



Added some crystals from an old chandelier.



My tree topper!  Gold poinsettias and gold foliage.
