Hi! Everyone these are some of my decorations for this christmas:my tree is not finished here,my tree is 3/4 decorated when I took this picture I will send one finish with some of my bears. But I wanted to share my Tree Skirt I made last year with my grandaughter.In the pictures are some of my Mini huggies bears I have bought, See if you can reconize them? 
My Door Rif My mother in-law urin (right side,edge of pic) is with me always here at home and on top of our piano is her shrine so we always decorate her space,we also have different covers for her each Holiday.? Some of my grandchildren, I have truley loved everyones unique decorated trees. "It doesn't matter if your tree is big or small ,"What matters is the [color=red]love by loving hands that was decorated with".[/color]this is a small space of my Loving humble home where everyone is welcome! Merry Christmas!and a Wonderful New Year. :hug:
Melbourne, AustraliaPenny: 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:
Terries BearsThis is such a fun posting to look through, everyone's decorations all look so nice!!! Mary, I love the way that you have little bears and dolls all throughout your decorations. I recognise at least one of them, and he looks so happy to be a part of the festivities. I also love your large stockings and the little golly who is peeping out of the wreath...so cute!!!
Melbourne, AustraliaMary ... 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:
So my decorations are kinda spread out this year (went form a tiny apartment to a large house, so I have only a few decorations)
Also this tree is almost ornament free - with 3 cats and a toddler i didn't pull out any ornaments!
In the pic - I asked Maddy to smile -and that's what I got!
Past Time BearsTa 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: 
Posts: 361I have finally taken pictures of everything...here are just a couple...the desk is for Andrea of Drea's Bears
Merry Christmas everyone!
Hugs, Nancy
Melbourne, AustraliaKirsten: 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:

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:
Back Road BearsKim Basta: :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: I'm so glad he's learned.... and glad I could help! :crackup: This year's tree looks beautiful and those kids are growing fast!
:hug:
Katrina: I love your tree.... I'm always looking for the perfectly shaped tree but when I saw yours I thought "Now there is a tree with personality!" and I think it's great! I'm getting so many ideas for next year here!!

Thanks! That's what I love about our trees 
Posts: 361Thank-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
Back Road BearsHere's our fat tree..... and Riley and Tucker. Riley is getting so that he actually poses for me when the camera is aimed at him. Tucker on the other hand gets this "not again" attitude. Dogs! Anyway, this is supposed to be about the tree..... hubs and I have a discussion about whether we use colored lights or white lights each year. I won this year. I still want a skinny tree with glittery decorations but never win that one!
Melbourne, AustraliaDaphne: 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.

Jellybelly BearsTa ra! At last, it's ready to share! My daughter decorated it last night and I fiddled with the settings on my camera today, trying manfully to remember what my sister said about 'ambient light' and how to capture it! Not sure I've done as I was told, but here it is anyway!

I am last minute here. The tree was finished a couple of days ago, but I never got time to add my pics. You can hear the plink, plink of needles hitting the floor if you listen carefully

Melbourne, AustraliaTammy: Glad to see you made it in by a hair in your chinny chin chin! :crackup:

I'll be back with a winner, when she's decided.
Melbourne, Australia
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.
Your grandaughter is so sweet Sandi ! How lovely of her to choose my tree too ! 
To think all the "men" in my house
were less than impressed with it - ha ha I'll show them !!
I hope everybody here has had a peaceful Christmas , and enjoys a wonderful ,"Happy New Year" too . Sandi , do I get permission to keep
my tree up all year now ??
Festive Hugs , Ruth xx
I'm flattered to have made the short list !! How cool is that- Thanks Ebony. I could never pic a fav as they really are so different and wonderful.
Ebony is a very pretty teen- I'll have to show her pic to my 14 yr. old son
