Oh Christmas Tree

Well this post is a little late.... Christmas came and went quickly this year. I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday season. It was our first Christmas as a married couple for Hutch and I. We had a great one! I think we even started our own Haslam Christmas tradition that everyone thought was way cool. A sagebrush Christmas tree! Sure the thought of it to people was thinking "cheap", "redneck", and "dumb" but once people saw what I had planned for it, the tree turned out way cool and beautiful!
Growing up I remember my aunt had a sagebrush tree one year and ever since then I thought it was cool and I wanted one. So our first year married I told Hutch and he thought it was a good idea too. At the time we were the only ones who thought it was a good idea. We went on a ride on our horses in search of the perfect sagebrush. It had to be big and full. It was an awesome ride, spotting tons and tons of deer and beautiful views. And then we found it and brought him home and got it decorated.We decorated it with lights, red ornaments, berries, bells, and Indian ornaments. Turned out better than I imagined!

Rustic Bells

I absolutely love my sagebrush Christmas tree. In fact Its almost the middle of January and I still have it up! I think it definitely will be a tradition from now on :)

I also made a Christmas tree craft. I made it out of clay pots and buttons, ribbons and wooden stars. Simple & Easy! Just get your different sizes, paint, glue and then decorate! This would be such a fun craft for kids too!
