My Three Little Artists

This year I was going to have a

 GROWN UP Christmas Tree

I ordered special ornaments to 

compliment my ginger jar collection

I carefully decorated the tree with "professional tips" from

 the country's leading designers.

I carefully handled my new hand painted ornaments.

I really put great thought and effort into

 the placement of each ornament.

Using suggestions, from my new book,

of placing the small ornaments at the top 

with larger ornaments adorning the bottom half. 

The very anticipated result was 

A SUPER DISAPPOINTMENT!

The tree didn't have any SPARK.

ENTER THE GRAND CHILDREN...

I had told the girls that they could help me trim the tree, 

so I pulled out the plastic bulbs 

 and let them place a few color

 coordinated bulbs here and there...

No one was following my direction.

The picked any old color and

 hung them where ever they wanted.

WHAT WAS I THINKING???

I was thinking that my Christmas tree

 finally had SPARK!!!!

They did a much better job than I could have ever done!

So now my tree is beautifully

 decorated only as high as 

little designer hands can reach. 

My daughter asked me 

when she was 

leaving if I was going to 

change it back the way it was?

NO WAY!

I LOVE our very eclectic Christmas Tree. 

Thanks to the 3 budding artists 

that I call my granddaughters. 

Wishing You Health and Happiness

this Holiday Season,
