WOW! Absolutely GORGEOUS!!

Not too late...Just in time to share something beautiful!

Hope you're feeling better.

Judith, what a nice surprise! Glad you were able to decorate your tree. Gorgeous ornaments. I really like the crystal snowflakes and the large ice sickles. So sparkly. The pearl ornaments are pretty too as are the pink roses and poinsettias. Little silver trees look very elegant too. So you put your tree in your livingroom this year did you? Last year it was in your dining room. Looks extra pretty when photographed with your crystal bottles in the foreground too. Great job as always. Luvs

Never too late. Judith it's absolutely breathtaking.

Just beautiful, Judith. Must have taken every bit of energy to do all that. It is really stunning!

Breathtakingly beautiful!! So glad you were able to get your tree up!! What did you have on the top?

Beautiful Judith. You're such an inspiration. Your picture gives me more ideas for next year. And next year I'm going to put my pink tree in my bedroom so I can enjoy it as I go off to sleep. I have a more traditional tree in my living room.

Judith,

This is my last night at work. I am retiring and will not have access to high speed internet for I don't know how long.(I live in the country and it isn't available yet.)

Your pictures of this BEAUTIFUL pink Christmas tree is my retirement present. I would like to thank you for sharing your talents with me. Everyone here has opened up a whole new world of beauty to me. I will be impatiently waiting for my high speed so I can feast my eyes on all of the awesome pictures that you guys post.

I must get a digital camera so I can share what I have learned from y'all. I wish I had found this place sooner.

Again, thanks for sharing.

Oh, is it ever marvelous, Judith! You outdid yourself, I think . You are truly an amazing lady!

You must be really on the mend to have done something like this!

-Jenn

As they say - better late than never, and it was worth the wait too!

Such a beautiful creation you put together - always inspirational and your photos can't be beat either.

Thank for sharing

Jim

It was certainly worth the wait, but I hope you have not overdone your own physical abilities right now.

Betty, I hope you will be back soon.

I don't know what to say except that it's... splendid!

Your decorations are just beautiful!!

WOW!!! How divine - you did an outstanding job. It looks beyond beautiful. I've seen so many of your wonderful photos on here and you really have a knack for decorating and putting beautiful things together.

Dawn

You can decorate for me anytime. lol!

Gorgeous!! And worth the wait! Just lovely! :)

Luvs, Actually, I usually do 2 trees, one in the dining room, a "thin tall tree" and the larger one that goes in my living room, since I was recovering, I only did the large tree in the LR this year, but there were some new ornaments on it this year.

paintingfool, the top ornament is a "sphere" type orni, I had originally had an angel to go there, but I could not get it secured well enough..(I am trying to stay away from ladders, and since I am not quite 5 ft tall, stretching was difficult LOL)

Betty, thank you for your lovely comments, I realize you won't be able to see this answer since you are now retired (congrats by the way), I hope you will be able to rejoin us when you get your computer going!!!

Jenn, thank you, well, I am mending, I just decorated the tree in bits and pieces, when I got sore, I just took more Motrin, if I used the pain killer the hospital gave me, the tree might have turned out really crazy LOLOLOL

chijim, thank you, I sure wish I could have been to your home to see your decor IRL, I know I would be blown away!!!

And a really big thank-you to the rest of you ladies for your very nice comments, it makes my Holiday for sure.

Here are a few more closeups...I went to Macys yesterday (after my Dr. appt, hey, why waste the trip LOL) they had 50% off on these, I must have bought at least 10, just stuck them on the tree, they look much prettier in real life, the crystals just sparkle.

Oh, darn it, we don't have a Macy's down here and I have tried to stay away from the stores so I won't spend so much on ornaments and decorations. I did purchase a few "initial" ornaments for the grandchildren this year but didn't see any with rhinestones. I didn't get to finish my pink tree this year, and my candy tree - well, my 18 month old gd for some reason hated it. When I tried to put the ornaments on it she would take them off. The only way to decorate it was to do it when she wasn't here so I just gave up. Although she did love the Santas on the hodge podge tree, she took one home every time she came over - but only the painted ones!

Judy - your tree is just absolutely beautiful. I have been busy with company since Christmas and was just able to get back on to catch up - yours was the first thread I opened - what an amazing treat. Thanks you so much for sharing......

Lynne

Those are great new ornaments--haven't seen any like them before. Glad you were able to decorate your tree and enjoy it. I'm sure you add to your ornament collection each year--and you have certainly found some pretty ones. ;o) Luvs

Judith...Your pink tree is simply FABULOUS!!! I love the crystals touches. I have a long way to go to be able to put a tree like that together and you did that while not feeling 100%...it's so beautiful. I saved pictures for my inspirational file again...LOL
I hope you are feeling better and that you'll have a speedy recovery.

Everyone's Christmas decorations are spectacular. I've enjoyed viewing each & everyone of them. I'm always touched by the generosity of everyone sharing their ideas & helpful hints. I thought I'd share one with you too. :)

I don't mail Christmas cards to my friends/family who I also communicate by e-mail. Instead I do close-up photos of elements of my Christmas decorations, like Judith & others here, & make them into a sort of greeting card & e-mail it out. They're always well received because of the personal touch. I've used one of Judith's wonderful photos to give y'all an example. Judith, I hope you don't mind.

You can also do the same with Valentine's Day, Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving, etc. :)

Judith, Your pink tree is just gorgeous and the picture of the crystal in the foreground of the tree is beautiful. All of your pics are gorgeous! I remember the first year I started using pink. My DS was ok with it, but DH was a little disappointed so I went and bought a small tree for the den and it's traditional. Before that I used crystal and gold which I had when we married and he wasn't thrilled with it either. My son has a large collection of nutcrackers and sets them all up every Christmas so we're all happy.

Judith, your tree is simply beautiful. I think my favorite is the roses that look like they have snow on them. I would love to be able to find some like that!

I hope you're feeling better and taking good care of yourself.
