Hello World! Welcome Friends! I have a Christmas Tree top section update! We searched everywhere and thought for sure the top section of the tree was gone. So, I forged ahead with putting lights on the tree and creating a “top” out of picks and poinsettias. Chloe and I were about to start putting ornaments on, when I decided to sit on the floor and re-fluff the bottom of the tree. Misty our gray kitty kept trying to climb the tree and the bottom of it was a little messy. So, I worked my way around the bottom fixing the branches till I got to one branch that felt like it was falling out. And, sure enough, it kept coming out of the tree as I pulled it. I knew this was going to be the last year for this tree, but I thought it was strange that a branch would come completely out from the center of the tree. Well, it wasn’t a branch. It was the TREE TOP!!! It was embedded in the center of the tree towards the bottom of the tree! Seriously! So funny! But, I was a little annoyed since I had created a “new top”. We abandoned our decorating session, and I pulled off my “top”, worked some lights into the found top and stuck that sucker on the top of my tree.

That is too funny, Kathryn and totally something that would happen at my house. Maybe the cat was climbing the tree to show you “it’s right here”. lol Thanks for hosting and hope your week has been a good one so far.

Beautiful tablescape featured, I have a weakness specially for china and I collect them, so tablescapes are my favorite thing to do and why I started blogging.
I enjoy all you choose too dear Kathryn, let this be decoration and baking.
Thank you for hosting for us each week.
Merry Christmas.
