This year, as it is our First Christmas as a married couple - we had almost NO ornaments! So we chose to invest in a few beautiful pieces, go cheap for a few others, and then make a few as well! We also received a few very special ornaments as gifts!
Tree Skirt - Made by Moi (see other post)
Tree Holder - Canadian Tire (actually was very impressed - quite sturdy!)
Lights - 750 white lights (Walmart)
Ribbon - Gold sparkle and Burlap with Gold Reindeer (Michael's)
Tree topper - made from Gold sparkle ribbon (attached loops of ribbon to popsicle sticks, then stuck them into the tree until the bow looked full - they are not a single ribbon! But doesn't it look like a pretty present?
Our Special Ornaments (From Tinseltown in Ottawa, on Wellington St.). We each chose one special ornament to add to the tree (the pink one is obviously mine!)
4 Mercury Drop ornaments
4 White snowflakes
1 Globe ball
1 Pink Rosette ball
Gifts:
The "W" and "R" - Chapters/Indigo
The Gold Snowflake - a gift from my cousin Leah!
Our Basic Ornaments:
White Opaque balls (Michael's)
Gold Stripe (Homesense)
Clear balls (the Bay)
Gold (the Bay)
Silver opaque (Homesense)
Light Blue balls (bought at the Glebe Emporium in 2007!)
Silver Icicles (the Bay)
Ceramic White Reindeer (the Bay)
Homemade Ornaments
Pinecones with Ribbon
Sparkle Balls (Made by swirling Pledge floor wax into crafting ornaments and pouring in some glitter! Super easy and inexpensive)
- Colours: gold, silver, dark green and pink

| The Balls are much more sparkly in person... |
And what would the perfect tree be without a Custom Hot Chocolate Bar???
 |
| Butlers - The Best Irish Chocolate (we found it at Homesense! Saving it...) |
 |
| Bar complete with White and Milk chocolate, Chai, Peppermint, Marshmallows, Nespresso, Milk Frother, Whipped Cream, Cinnamon, and Vanilla and Chocolate Sprinkles |
Happy Holidays Everyone!
Hope you have all gotten into the Christmas Spirit!
