Christmas Trees and Winter Under Glass

Hello! The kids and I had a fun evening of baking and putting up our Christmas trees. I found the red butter-cream in the States-yipee!
Here's the big tree in our living room.

Then we put up our new pink tree on the other side of the living room.

Here is a little little cloche winter scene.


At Natalea's get-together, she gave us the idea to make snow globes. This is how mine turned-out. I love the idea of putting tiny Christmas figurines in small olive jars and filling them with water, crystal snow or glitter- and glycerine.


This one is my favorite :)


I also created this by combining 2 retro ornaments together.




Next I have to get cracking on the Christmas cards and wrapping the presents-yikes! Have a great weekend!

Love all your decorations. I spied a hello kitty ornament on your white tree (so so cute and a fav of mine). Love the little pixie too.
