Shabby Chic White Christmas Tree

Hello sweet friends!
I have been working some pretty Christmas magic in my Shabby Chic Cottage!
This is the Christmas tree I put up in my living room.
I fluffed up the top with some pretty roses and glittery poinsettias!
  As always, I look at gorgeous magazines and blogs to get decorating ideas.
I really wanted to fill out some spaces above cabinets with garland. I wanted to use what I had so I dug into my Christmas stash to fluff up the top of my dining room cabinet...

Make it Fabulous for Less Tip~
For this garland I used pieces of a cast off faux Christmas tree limb. To get the snowy effect spray tree limbs with adhesive spray and sprinkle with faux snow you can find in a bag for $1 at the resale shops or dollar stores. Add some pretty flowers or beads from your craft stash and you have a fabulous garland for cheap!





This Holiday season I will spend time with my friends and family. This particular year presents challenges that are beyond my control but not God's. I pray as we all find ourselves spending time with our loved ones that we remain patient and kind and lean on God for PEACE!
I think this psalm is pretty and simple...
Be still and know that I am God.  Psalm 46:10
I am joining Faded Charm for White Wednesday
Happy Thanksgiving!
Hugs,
