Deck the Halls...

it was definitely time to kick off the holiday season in Red Dirt Girl Land....

i've had the same Christmas tree for the last five years....a four foot pre-lit artificial tree...with iridescent white, pewter, clear, and sage green as the color palette of decorations....i've always liked it...was completely content with it...

until...

a recent trip to Garden Ridge....where i fell in love with....

that's right....i fell in LOVE with a hot pink tree...

and this photo i dug up just doesn't do it justice....

but alas i just couldn't convince myself to buy it...and trust me i debated while staring at it for at least an hour in the store....while i think it's gorgeous....i wasn't sure i would be so enthralled with it 5 years from now...

so..

my creative gears started turning and decided i could have my pink and practicality too...

the white was a lot more practical, yet unconventional....

it's fabulous...

this photo doesn't quite do it justice...and it isn't quite finished...so more pics will be coming soon!! and at least one more projects as a result of the pink Christmas theme...

this isn't the only holiday fun i've been having....

LilFriend and I did the Christmas wreaths for the annual competition for work...they both turned out adorable...

i remembered to take a picture of this one at the last minute...i'm planning to take a few pictures of all the competition wreaths tomorrow and share them...as i'm always amazed at how different each company's are and all the unique ideas each year...

how is your holiday decorating going??
