Two months ago we started a new theme that involves using the Anniversary years as our guideline. We featured
projects with paper and projects with cotton. However this month we are going to sidestep and get in the spirit of the season. Yes, we are talking about Christmas! I thought I would go all out and share my Christmas tree for this year. Because for me, it’s all about the sparkle!Make sure to scroll all the way down to the bottom of this post to see what my friends have made this month.
This year I wanted to decorate a tree that was all my own. I chose to go with glitter and shine to give the tree that something special – a sparkle! Also the white and bright would really stand out against the blue cloudy wall.
The Glitter
The White Ornaments
This wood bone is for the newest member of the family. Should I write his name on it?
The Jewels
From Top to Bottom
Where are those simple days when I just decorated with beloved family ornaments?
Maybe for next year’s tree I’ll let my hair down and do all white and red! Now that will really mess with my blue wall! But look at me, I am really getting ahead of myself.
Do you become obsessive like I do and worry about how to decorate your tree, and what colors should go on it before you start decorating? I hope not. Life is too short to stress about these things. I actually enjoyed the whole process. After all it is all about the sparkle!
I hope my simple but sparkly tree serves as inspiration for you. It brings me much joy and that is enough for me.
Now scroll down to see what else my friends from the Int’l bloggers club are up to this month.

Now that’s a tree fit for royalty Mary. Those ornaments are soooooo beautiful. Love the one that looks like an long egg with the mirror bits on it and Tatou’s bone ornament is so apt and yes it needs a name, in curly whirly glittery writing 😀
I am so glad I did this early on. Now I can just sit back and enjoy it. And yes Tatou will get his name on his bone, for sure.
You tree looks beautiful. It shows the time you took to find cohesive ornaments. I love how glittery it is, and how you added a special new ornaments for your very lucky pet and I would add his name in sparkly letters.
Leanna it was so easy to do this tree. The stores are full of sparkle and glitter in the way of ornaments! I was one happy gal!
That is my kind of Christmas tree, sparkly! What is Christmas without sparkle? Love all the ornaments you chose, they combine so well with each other. The fluffy one would be one of my favorites, white as snow, cozy as the homes and sparkly as the season.
I think Tatou deserves his name on his own ornament, he’s part of the family.
It’s a beautiful tree Mary! I love glittery ornaments and have my fair share. They really make a tree pop and look so glam :).
(Had a lot of difficulty commenting again even from my phone. Hope this works).
Hi Mary, I love your sparkle and glitter ideas. I decided to go in that direction too this year with my tree and love it! The more the better!
Aren’t Christmas trees magical?!

Wait, I see shiny things! Now that’s my kind of tree – full of pretty sparkle and glitz and interesting textures that makes one want to go up and touch all the decorations. It’s nothing like my eclectic tree with no rhyme nor reason. The bone ornament is begging to be personalized…with a glitter pen!
It’s gorgeous Mary! I absolutely love the moody wall with the sparkly golden ornaments and all those neutrals and then the green tree! Wow!
I really love your tree this year Mary. I’m also planning my tree in my mind but I keep changing styles from all these beautiful ideas!
Very Beautiful!!
Mary, you rocked the sparkle and it looks just great! I love how it all catches the light and while the sparkle gives it a formal feel, the light and so many of the ornaments give it a warm formality — not “cold” but filled with careful choice and good heart. I love it.
Love this look! So happy, cozy and elegant all at the same time. Thanks for this post 😀
