I can’t wait to show you what I’m up to.
I’m participating in Michaels Holiday Dream Tree Challenge! Here’s how it works.
They send me a pre-lit Christmas tree,
a gift card, and they said “create your dream Christmas tree in one week”!
I was so excited and headed to my nearest Michael’s {only 5 minutes away} and freaked out when I saw this aisle…
Get this. They have a whole aisle of Christmas tree decorations by theme! They have done the coordinating and guess work for you!
I’ve been crazy about candy canes and peppermint for years. I love the smell (helped me so much when I was pregnant by the way), the taste, and the pretty red and white combo. I’ve always wanted a peppermint tree!
Oh wait. It gets even better.
Not only did they have a whole line of candy cane and treat ornaments, they were all SHATTERPROOF! Are you serious?
With 4 kids around my home this is a huge bonus!!!
Also, make sure to check out these quick videos to see this years gorgeous themes…
They are all so gorgeous right??
Come back for Part Two of the challenge…you’ll find a fun Christmas tree tutorial!

I love the color theme! I’ve had shatter proof balls for a few years now. I have a cat who likes to bat them off of the tree.
I didn’t even think about shatterproof ornaments being great because of pets! Another reason to love’ em!
Oh man, that looks awesome. I would love to do this!
I have to say it’s a pure blast!!
I am planning a teal & red Christmas here too…. can’t wait to see your tree!!
I love those colors together!! I bet your tree is going to be gorgeous.
Love them! Those are the colors I’m using… with a little bit of a bright green! : ) I might have to make me some peppermint ornaments now! : )
Thanks! Green would be a great addition, too!
I love love love the color palette, I’m making digital papers and Christmas gift tags with those colors!
ooo…I’d love to see those gift tags Jeanne!
I was at Joanne Fabrics today, and picked up a shabbily-made ornament, and it was 7.99. SICK of the crappy stuff coming over from China that we eat up here. Not this girl, not anymore!
what a great fun opportunity!! i would love to participate in something like this just to see what i could come up with!! can’t wait to see yours!
