Pastel Christmas

All three trees are finally up & decorated.  I have begun the wrapping and nearly finished it.

Favorite wrapping paper this year goes to this love paper.  White paper with velour black snow flakes.  Super cute and super cheap.  Found this roll of loveliness at the Goodwill Outlet brand new.

Little gold pow & doilies name tag

from left to right: Parchment paper from Dollar Tree, Blue paper w/white pine cones are Jaclyn Smith & Silver w/red snow flakes are Trim-a-Tree both from Kmart.

Parchment paper turned out really good. Can't believe I found paper already decorated for a $1.

I'm horrible at taking pictures of Christmas trees, please forgive the craptastic photo. Lavender tree has purple & gold bows though I believe next year they will be replaced with balls.  Blue tree has teal/aqua and silver balls and the pink tree is silver bows & balls.  This is Pinkys last year, she will be for sell if anyone is interested.

Lights off.  Oooh, they really are prettier in person. The blue is my favorite.  The bow tree toppers are all Jaclyn Smith.

Let me state for the record getting a decent picture of these babies hasn't been easy.  I have a few cats in the house, 2 of which are kittens.  Christmas has been a delight for them to say the least.  Oh oh and before I forget the drapes are new.  Found them at Goodwill for 6.99 a pair.  They are a JcPenny brand in a pretty damask cream.  Nice and heavy, perfect change for two reasons...Need heavier drapes for the cold (these keep drafts to a minimum) and it's basically a nice change from the floral Laura Ashley drapes we've have for Spring & Summer.
