OMG Karen .... Penny will be over the mooooon .... he will make her day! :crackup: :crackup:
Here she is at the computer, deciding which she liked more. She said to tell you it was one of the hardest decisions she's had to make because they were all so beautiful in their own way.
It was very close between Tami (Dolls N Dreams) and Ruth (Flutter By Bears). She loved Tami's butterflies but it was Ruth's silver tree that finally won her favour.
:dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:
Congratulations Ruth!
EDIT: I added the sepia picture of Ebony taken by my daughter, so you could see what she looks like.
I asked my fourteen year old grandaughter to choose the tree she loved the most and she has managed to come up with a shortlist...
The Nominees are (in no particular order)...
Tami - Dolls N Dreams
Paula - All Bear
Nancy - Dog Patch Critters
Tami - Tami Everlage Original Teddy Bears
Patty - Swan Valley Bears
Ruth - Flutter By Bears
Aleta - The Silly Bear
Kim - Son Blest Bears
Tammy - Beckoning Bers
Ali - Love Those Bears
Congratulations girls! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
I'll be back with a winner, when she's decided.
Tammy: Glad to see you made it in by a hair in your chinny chin chin! :crackup:
Another superb tree...and I love your Santa rug! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Sarah: I'm glad you made it before Christmas! Wonderful tree, looks like there's lots of sparkly silver tinsel on it...and of course Pippin looks gorgeous too! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Daphne: Lovely 'fat tree' and it doesn't matter whether it's fat or thin, just as long as you enjoy it and the spirit of the season and perhaps next year you can have both. BTW the dogs really do look like they enjoy posing for the camera. Well done! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Thank-you so much, Sandi. I just love to decorate for all of the seasons...especially Christmas.
I love looking at all of the trees and decorations on this thread...so glad you got it going this year.Hugs, Nancy
Your very welcome Nancy...I'm pleased that everyone received so much enjoyment from it.
Kirsten: I can understand what you mean going from small to large, but don't worry it won't take you long before you are wishing for an even bigger house, if you collect things like me! :crackup: Wonderful picture of Maddy...full of mischief! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Ta da. Sandi, my tree is finally up as of a couple of days ago . . . but try as I may, with no accompanying photos. Camera malfunction. :redface: :redface: :redface:
Hurray! :dance: I'll forgive you Sue Ann, but you know what we're all like on TT. So if you have any visitors on Christmas Day? With cameras? :photo: :photo: :photo: Please!
Nancy: That's another beautiful tree you have added to our collection...very elegant. Next year, I will put up my new slender tree in my studio (I just bought after seeing Amy's). I think they look great and you have done a super job of decorating yours too. :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Mary ... my appologies. 
You must have posted while I was writing yesterday.
Lots of super Christmas goodies here ... like Terrie, I love the little golly peeking out from the side of your door wreath. One can easily see there is lots of Christmas spirit in your home, it's a very welcoming sight indeed. Well done Mary! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Penny: Don't be a chicken...come show us your feathers! :crackup:
Jennie: Very pretty with the lights and I just love that little bear ornament. :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Katrina: What a lovely "real" tree, I bet it's fragrance fills the house, just like Charlotte's Juniper. Looks like you have real glass ornaments there too. They were pretty hard to get your hands on for a number of years, but I have noticed them back in the shops again this season. :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Kimi: Your lighting is perfect! 
Tell your children they have done a magnificent job...this picture made me get goosebumps! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
If anyone wasn't feeling in the mood for Christmas before, they must do now!
Heavens, this tree is almost as full of decorations as Aleta's tree...at this rate, you'll have to borrow Kim B's huge tree to fit them all on!
Wonderful! Wonderful! Just love them all. 
Wow! That's a biggie Kim! Your children are growing up fast too! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Keep 'em coming girls...only a week to go!
OMG Aleta! That tree must have taken you hours and hours to decorate ... you can hardly see the tree!
It's absolutely wonderful! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Bit late arriving here today...but I'm not missing this thread...like Tami E, I just love what you have all done.
Sandi...loads of Juniper Berries on these!!!
Hugs &
Charlotte: Your Juniper looks lovely and I am extremely envious of the fragrance permeating your home. There's nothing like the pleasing scent of Junipers or Pines, to turn a regular house into a Christmas home! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
All in good time . . . I'm pretty much a Scrooge at Christmas and I'm dragging my heels. Patience, my child.
You a Scrooge? Never in a million years! Slow and aging maybe... :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: Just kiddin' Sue Ann and I will try very, very hard to be patient...promise. :hug: :hug: :hug:
Shantelle: That's a wonderful tree...with a very pretty angel on top too! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Woops and Nancy! 
Sorry Nancy didn't mean to miss you. You must have been posting, while I was typing. 
What wonderful ambience you have created in this setting Paula....with yet another gloriousl tree. :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
SIGH! I think I am in love with Christmas, it's a beautiful time of year no matter where you are. All these pretties really get you in the mood for this jolly season.
THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO'S POSTED A TREE. :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
Now where's Sue Ann's? ... come on NUDGE! NUDGE!
It's a shame that the Toby doesn't have entries on line, I'm sure they would get more international entries if they did.
And the fact that the Golden Teddy on line entries only pay $50 instead of $70 makes entering very enticing too!
Thanks for that link Tami ... there are some great ideas there!
Thank you Charlotte, Lisa, Cathie and Bron.
Betty: Yes, I can hardly wait for your birthday to come around! :crackup:
Lisa: Thanks for the comment on my blog...but why "anonymous"? You drove me crazy trying to work out who it was that left the message...perhaps crazier is the more correct term! :crackup:
Congratulations Mary! I don't know whether I'll live long enough to make my 46th but I'll do my best! :crackup:
December 16th will be 27years for us and even though I accuse Glenn of being brain dead at times, I wouldn't part with him for the world.
There are certainly some real spiffy ornaments there ... you are all so wonderfully clever!
Oh Shel :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: I just lurve those lips !!!
