Themed tree.......

Each year as I take the Christmas tree down, I sigh and say I might do a themed tree NEXT year.
Well, this past January, I couldn't even get the WORDS OUT OF MY MOUTH before Dean and Kaela started laughing and rolling their eyes.    Dean went so far as to bet me I wouldn't follow through.

Well, I may be a bit older but this Russell girl still likes a good challenge so I picked a theme and have been slowly collecting items since January.

The other day, I pulled some things together and started making a few things for the tree.  I made a few more birdie ladles....I can't resist the tinsel nests!




and a variety of birdhouses...some are paperboard and some are wooden.  All are small and covered in glitter!






These nests were bare until I pulled out my handy glue gun and sheet moss.  Again with the glitter.....just on the eggs though!



Dean is gonna LOSE this bet!
