O' Christmas tree, O' Christmas tree!

With Christmas literally days away and with no sightings of a live Christmas tree here on the ole blog,  I bet you all were wondering if I actually got a fresh green tree this year.   Well the answer is yes!  Josh and I have had our fresh Christmas tree up since right after Thanksgiving!  So yes, I have been a VERY negligent blogger as I have not blogged one single picture of our tree!  

So without further ado, here are a few images of our tree.

So for the very observant out there, yes that is a Yoda tree topper on the top of our tree.   I gave that to Josh three years ago under the condition it would NEVER grace the top of my Christmas tree.   Come Christmas it has always sat on his desk, well this year our regular topper was just not working and it never made it onto the tree.  Until last week our tree sat topless, when I finally gave in to Josh and let him put Yoda on the top.  I know, that was EXTREMELY nice of me!  But 'tis the season of giving, so I selflessly let him put that weird little guy on top.  I am sure I am on Santa's nice list just for that!

Here is one of my all time favorite Christmas ornaments!  I DIY'D this Anthropologie knock off last year!  You can read all about that here!

I must say this years tree is one of my favorite trees we've had, just something about it.....I just love it!

So there you are,  now you know for sure that I actually did put a real tree up!  I still have some wrapping and such to do, but all in all I'm all ready and super excited for the BIG day!  

How about you all, do you have any last minute wrapping, tree getting or cookie baking to do!? 

Digging some deer head wall decor!

This past weekend I shared with you some photos of a fabulous pink and turquoise Christmastime photo shoot, which you can read all about that here!   Anyway, one of my favorite things about that shoot were the two white deer head wall pieces.  

 I have been OBSESSING over them ever since I first laid eyes on them!

I especially LOVE the ornaments hanging from them for the Holidays!!  I soooo want to find some deer heads so I can decorate them with fabulous ornaments next year!  

So I've been searching around and have found a few options from ZGallerie that just may work!

This one is a little smaller than I had wanted, but at only $49 the price is very nice!

However, this one is much larger, but it comes with a MUCH larger price tag of $199!  AND that is on sale!

I also prefer the look of the smaller one, there is just something about the shape of it that I like!

While I like both of these I'm not completely sold on either one; one because of the size, the other because of the price. 

So I thought I would ask you all  if you've seen another place to possibly buy one,  I would love to know!

This blonde would be forever great full if you'd share your super secret place  to buy white wall mounted deer decor!!

I'm dreaming of a pink and turquoise Christmas!

Some times you catch a glimpse of something that just stops you in your tracks and simply takes your breathe away.    That's exactly what these photos did when I found them while surfing around on Pinterest the other day.  I loved them so much I followed them back to there source here.

Just take a look at the most perfect Christmas decor ever!!

And the most gorgeous Christmas Photo shoot to boot,  I sooooo want to do this some day!!

This HAS to be the CUTEST photo shoot ANYONE has EVER done!!

On my to do list for next year.....

GET PINK AND TURQUOISE DECORATIONS!!
