We got the tree up just in time as presents from my mom arrived today so now we have a place to put them. I think this is the most fun and most stress free tree I've ever had. Truth be told, Jeff decorated most of it. And I didn't even stand over him pointing out what I wanted to change :) We still need a topper and some icicles, so I'm only going to show close up pictures until it's completely finished. Without further ado...

So, now for the good news and the bad news. The good news is that I hit my first goal yesterday and could buy the clock I was coveting. I was working at The Barkway (our doggy daycare) when I noticed the sale, but I didn't have time to get the clock right then. When I got  home two hours later, it was gone. Sold. To someone else. Not me. :(  I can't even tell you how bummed I was. I looked for another online and found a couple in the same style, but neither were red. 

As bummed as I was, I did manage to pull myself together long enough to get myself a consolation prize :) I've been wanting a knit hat forever, so today I bought this one. I love it and can't wait to get it!

Happy hunting!
