@Lace : Yes I cut into strips then tucked in the tree. I didn't tie them in with branches because my tree branches were not cooperating. Happy decorating.

@Lace : The collar came from Micheal's a couple of years ago. I'm sure they probably still carry them though.

@Fiona : It's beautiful! I think next year I am going to have to find a tree collar. I really love yours.

@Fiona : Very pretty! Good job!

@Amanda79 : Thank you. Got it at Michael's.

@West-Tex : Thank you

@Fiona : Very nice job. I put mine up last night. Went out in the yard got a dead branch from the pine tree and tie it on the wall where a picture used to hang. Good enough.

Beautiful tree. Still haven't had the time to put mine up.

@Fiona : Thank you for the tip.

@Fiona : Thank You

@Fiona : It's beautiful!! I love your tree!

@Itsme : Well ya know I always heard size don't matter and I guess this is what they mean. Lol!!

@Fiona: It all looks awesome!! Got everything but 1 gift each for the grandbabies which I'll get tomorrow.

@chasinghosts : Thank you. I'm almost done myself and about to start the wrapping.
