FINALLY



AT LAST.....

THE TREE HAS ARRIVED....

The day started early...Russ picked up MC and off they went for THE TREE!


ONE HOUR LATER....



AND NOW FOR THE


THE REVEAL......


BLACK

When Patti was here a couple of weeks ago, she suggested "black"!!! The more I thought about it....the more I thought...."It Just Might Work!" It only makes sense.......the house is basically BLACK AND WHITE!!!!


Many of you guessed that the Accent Color would be black! I think you are figuring me out !

.....previous years the colors have been Red, Purple and Tiffany Blue! Traditional, normal colors!! Again, I am pushing the bar......I am not NORMAL!!!!!



I called my "ribbon" source, Norfolk Wholesale Florist, and within two days I had my BLACK RIBBON!!!!





Now that it's set up in it's "final" resting place.....(I think?).....I can start transforming the tree into a Magical vision ..... Black, a little Silver and Chrystal and Lots of sparkle.

When it's in it's Gorgeous State......I will post a picture......
