trimming tree; handmade glitter-bomb

I would love a white Christmas tree; for two years now.  But I just can't take the - heading out into nature to hand-pick our fresh-from-the-forest tree - experience, complete with steaming thermos hot chocolate, away from the kids [and hubs, for that matter].  So I bought some snow-in-a-can and flocked the tree this year.  I don't think I could buy enough canned snow.  A new love.
And if offers, Bam, instant compromise. Peace on earth, right?
I also trimmed with delicate, "curly", knitter's wool, added feathers to glass baubles and sprinkled with silver glitter wherever possible.  I deem it the year of the handmade glitter-bomb!  What does your tree look like?

Hi Carmen,
I was thinking of spraying my tree with snow. If you have time you should post a picture of the whole thing in all its glory:)

yes kylee - but then i would need to make sure it was clean all around the perimeter. we're not there yet;) and i totally recommend the flocking. buy lots - it's addictive!

I could definitely have used some handmade glitter-bombs on my tree this year! Will be on the to-do for next! :)
