Last weekend I was out of town at a friends cabin in beautiful Truckee, Ca. near Lake Tahoe. This is an annual “Girls Weekend” which is a pretty good reason to be a little behind on the holiday decorating! It is so nice to get away with some of your best girlfriends to visit, eat, drink, hot tub in a snow flurry, play some games, and just hang out and chat!
Cheers!
So far, I have changed out my chalkboard to a holiday greeting…
I have also decided to do things a little differently this year. I am using a smaller portion of my holiday decorations, and recently purchased this ornament collection from Home Depot to set my color scheme.
I already use a lot of blue accents in my home and this Martha Stewart collection will work nicely. Now for the next decision…white lights vs. colored lights on the Christmas Tree?

I have always used colored lights on our tree. That is the way our family did it growing up and I loved the colored lights with all the unique and different ornaments. However, now I am in the mood for something different and think I will change out to white this year!
How do you decorate your tree? Are you a colored or white light family?
Girls weekends are the best - lucky! I've always been a white lights girl, but this year we're going to try out some colored lights on the girls' playhouse outside.
ReplyDeleteI could use one of those weekends right about now! Love the ornaments. We have done both white and colored in the past.
ReplyDeleteToo funny Laura! I made the switch from colored lights to white lights this year (this weekend actually) and it was such a big deal but I'm glad I did. I too grew up with colored lights and had a hard time letting go of the tradition but the white lights look so pretty that even the rest of the family was on board. I realized you don't need as many light with the white ones too because they are so much brighter. Can't wait to see what you do!
