Thanks for all the great comments on the videos and for not laughing! Y’all are great sports. I really don’t enjoy seeing myself on camera all that much, but I guess my accent isn’t too bad. I know there are a lot worse right here in Ala-bammer!
I’ve had this little tree for a long time that I put on the cupboard in my kitchen, but I was a little bored with the angel motif on the outside of the tin that it sits in. It was cute, but not all that appealing with my colors in there, so I decided to break out the Mod Podge again. Got some pretty striped Christmas paper at Hobby Lobby (of course!) with bright and cheery colors.
Made myself a template and cut out four pieces, one for each side of the metal tin.
Mod Podged that baby and now it blends better with my reds and greens in the kitchen.
Last year I had all green ornaments, but they really got lost on the green tree, so red to the rescue. I’m loving how the tin turned out and it really shows up now. These pics were taken with my camera settings a little bit different, so they are a bit more glowy and yellowy than normal, but I like the effect for Christmas.
Mr. Nutcracker joins the parade, along with my glass pedestal and cloche with some tiny ice skaters underneath.
I just threw the rest of these green balls in a glass dish for now.
Here’s a regular shot of the kitchen tree.
I really love it this year! I got those mitten ornaments last year on clearance from Pike Nursery, who went out of business right after Christmas.
Love those sparkly greens.
And a cute little bunny ornament looks out from the top of the tree.Hope you enjoyed more Holiday cheer from my kitchen. I can’t wait to get around and see everyone else’s Christmas decor this year.
Don't Miss a Post, join my list!
I just watched your videos–you are a natural!!!! I thought you did a great job. I was hoping you would have a reallllly thick Southern Accent, but you don’t! Just a great speaking style! Congrats on your spending spree opportunity!
I forgot to tell you how I loved the scene you put beneath your cloche and how beautiful your TGiving table looked! Bye again! Dana
Hi Rhoda,
I love the way your tin turned out but my absolute favorite is the glass cloche with the ice skaters.
Hugs,
LeAnn:)
Hi Rhoda
I love the kitchen tree. Great idea, covering the vase. I’m going to make a note of that, for future reference.
I loved the tape. Believe it or not, you sound very much like I do, when I hear my voice recorded. Do you perhaps sing Alto? Our inflection of speech is similar, also. The Missouri Ozarks aren’t so far from the south, I guess. We have a friend from the “bootheel” of Missouri. His accent is deeper than yours.
All of your green dishes are really great with the Christmas things. I love it when Christmas is intergrated so smoothly into the regular things of life. Well done!! Sally
Rhoda – Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving a comment. You are a decorating guru! I love the photos on your blog header. Especially the one to the left! Wow, it’s all so beautiful. The Decoupage Vase you made is amazing and I love the way your little tree looks in it. Can’t wait to read more and see what you have in store for the future!
Merry Christmas!
Allyson
Everything looks just gorgeous!
By the way, I have a little award waiting for you at my blog.
Take care!

Very cute, Rhoda! Love those stripes. I will have to remember that on a piece I was wanting to do something with a few weeks back. Great idea! Looks fab!
I also love that little bunny in the hat. So cute and fun!
XO,

I love the stripes on the Tree “container” Rhoda. It came out so cute. Your home always looks darling, but especially so at Christmas time.

Love that redo Rhoda. Blends perfectly with all your colors in your kitchen.

LOVE those decorations!! So pretty, and your little “village” under the cloche reminds me of an antique set my mother has! 🙂
Also, I’ve tagged you for a fun Christmas meme over on my blog!
Blessings,

great work on that tree! and I’m all about Christmas decor in the kitchen…and the bathroom…well, EVERY room. Just love it!
Everything looks lovely as always! I LOVE the little scene you set under the cloche…too cute! And the tin for the tree…absolutely precious. I love mod podge, it’s so fun. I just posted several things I made this week using that magic potion. It’s amazing what a little scrapbook paper and mod podge can do. So fun!
I love Christmas…all the decorations….food..fun..and you! You just make it all the better~
Love this, I love the green plates on the wall too. Perfect for Christmas bunnies! Rhoda, it looks wonderful!
Blessings,
Debbie
Very pretty Rhoda!
I love the striped paper! It’s very funky and cute and un-Rhoda like, in a great way. 🙂
The tree and trimmings balance it out perfectly.
ALL HAIL TO THE MIGHTY MOD PODGE! What a great idea….I LOVE stuff like that! Re-condition, re-purpose, re-invent!!!!!
The podge rocks! It looks great!
Golly, you have the best ideas. Tree and container look great.
Hi Rhoda! How precious! I love how you’ve transformed the little urn. Everything looks great. You’re the most creative one!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia 😉
