Happy Holidays: My Pinterest Inspired Wall Tree

It's been way too long since the domestic diva made a post. Le Sigh.

Such is life.

Té Russ has been busy writing and traveling and whatnot.

Anyway, happy holidays! I'm back with another Pinterest inspired project.

I'll admit this year, I've had a bit of a rough hard time getting into...the whole holiday spirit. I haven't even done my Christmas shopping yet and usually I'm done by now (thank goodness for things like Amazon prime).

I hadn't even gotten a tree this year yet!

We usually get a live tree. And while I enjoy it, it does have a few drawback. Making sure it watered (you don't want your tree catching on fire because it's too dry) and sweeping up pine needles until Valentine's Day. And then having to get rid of it...

However, this year I decided to try something new. I went to Pinterest for ideas and saw these cute wall trees. So I went for it. I already had everything on hand (garland, lights, decorations...) so that was another plus: saving a few coins 😉

Pinterest has lots of idea and tutorials...I just winged it. LOL I used push pins to hang the garland and then added the lights. Then when the kids got home from school, I let them hang the rest of the stuff. They loved it. My daughter even said she liked this more than the 'regular tree' (I think it's 'cause she can reach the top).

So, here's the final product:

It was super easy and super fun. I think it's a great alternative to having a traditional tree or if you just don't have the space.

I hope you all have a great holiday season.

I'll try not to let another whole year go by without posting LOL
