Is It My Fault My Consultant Went Inactive?

Do you have any of those tassel napkin rings from last year? You know, the red ones? Those would look festive too.

Ellen...those are great ideas...I am sitting here trying to think of a great tree topper.

How about the Food Chopper as a topper?

Make a "bouquet" of wooden spoons or scrapers as a topper?

Hang laminated photos from the catalog on ribbons as ornaments.

Make a skirt from current and past silicone trivets.

Use the 8 qt. ss bowl as a base for the tree to stand in. (okay, this is a stretch!)

Hang mini bags of our quick christmas food as ornaments, pretzel wreaths, cranberry bark, spiced pecans.

The tree is not very big at all from base to top it is maybe a foot and a half.

and I really don't want to spend that much since iI don't really have that much to spend.. and i'm thinking it isn't going to get me any biz.... I'm not sure if they are going to allow us to advertise on it or not....

I think I am going to do a little one with the Creative Cutters and ribbons.

The twix-its with ribbons sounds cute too.

 

[jlevernier]

Do you have some empty small boxes and old catalogs? Maybe you can wrap a bunch of boxes in old catalog pages, stack them and place the tree on top of the package pile as the topper. Or a stack of product boxes in the shape of a tree with the real tree on top of them.

I like this idea, might use it for my holiday open house. Thanks!

That's why i'm kinda leaning away from doing it as a PC tree... the ideas are all good but the tree isn't going to hold much and I don't have alot of $$ to be spending to do it.

 

[JaimeQ]

I have an idea of maybe doing it all in snowman ornaments... maybe put some lights on it.... Or do it in mini ornaments....

 

[friday]

snowman sounds good. Have you thought of a colour theme?

 

[JaimeQ]

No I didn't think of that. I have to go see what I can find. I'm trying to make it as appealing as possible so people will want to spend their money to "win" it. It's a fundraiser for spouses groups

 

[JaimeQ]

I gotta come up with a catchy name to go with whatever theme I do pick.

At an Arts and Crafts Festival this weekend they were selling ornaments from the Dollar Store that they had hand painted things on. I cannot paint but if you could, this would be a great way to dress up inexpensive ornaments but be able to market them as one of a kind! They were really cute! They had put poinsettias, angles, stars, and different Christmas items on them.

 

[Teresa Lynn]

do you have any recipe cards from past seasons or can you get some from your clustermates?
Hole punch the corner and tie them on with a few inexpensive items.
star garland is always eye catching and very cheap

 

[chef_kimmo]

There are some great ideas on here and I have a craft show this weekend and one next weekend. I might do some of these ideas.

 

[chef_kimmo]

Jaime, you will have to tell us what you end up doing and maybe post some pictures.

 

[Christ Follower]

I was wondering what you decided to do to?

 

[missydivine]

You could make cute ornaments out of those puff balls, you know what I'm talking about? You can get them in different sizes and colors. You could string popcorn, and do it old fashioned.

I just got my Martha Stewart Living and it has these awsome bead ornaments. Also, cookie ornaments that look a little too tempting for the people in my house and my tree would be stripped clean LONG before Christmas if I did THAT. Just some thoughts.

 

[JaimeQ]

I haven't decided on anything yet. I still have to go to the store and see what I can find...

 

[missydivine]

You should check out the $ store and see what you can get there.

 

[JaimeQ]

I kinda like the cookie idea.... but maybe with chocolates... I'm thinking of making my own and going from there... I haven't had time to go to the store yet... Maybe this weekend.

 

[JaimeQ]

Ok so I have started to decorate the tree so far the theme I guess would be glitter the ornaments I got from michaels all have glitter on them.... They are cute!! I need to get more cause it is still bare. I have one little strand of battery operated lights on it, a silver glitter star as the topper. I am thinking of getting some bells and making them glittery and then putting them on there.

Anyone have a creative name for the tree??

 

[Carissidy]

Crystal Christmas
Sparkling Season
other synonyms (sp?)
brilliance
dazzle
flash
flicker
gleam
glimmer
glitz
glow
radiance
shimmer
shine
twinkle

I dont know if these help but I am not sure what you are looking for

 

[JaimeQ]

I'm looking for something that will catch peoples attention, and is creative.

 

[Carissidy]

so it is just one single tree? Do you have any ideas...stupid or otherwise that I may be able to build off of?

 

[JaimeQ]

It is just a single table top christmas tree. I was stumped on anything other than Glitter... and the only reason I thought of that is cause it's a title of a movie so I don't want to go with that.

I think I like: the "glimmering Christmas" tree........

 

[Carissidy]

It does have a nice sound to it

 

[JaimeQ]

I asked my husband about that and razzel dazzeled and he likes the glimmering christmas
