picked up this sucker day after thanksgiving... hes 9ft tall. last years was 11ft and stuck up into the skylight, but the newer tank is in the sweet spot this year so clearance was an issue.

decorated. you can see my 800 page burgess atlas of marine fishes on the couch, im researching for a new addition. any suggestions? sorry about the fence around the tank. we have a free roaming rabbit who enjoys wires and airline tubing. ive yet to build a skirt for the tank, its on the "honey do" list.

one of our kitties new hiding spots with his goose, he friggin loves that goose.

NW2, I LOVE the bows... did you tie them yourself? some peeps in your fam are getting some MASSIVE gifts this year... or some MASSIVE boxes, at least.... LoL. My Dad used to do that to us. He'd wrap the teeniest gifts in the biggest boxes he could find.

Devil, I love the shape of your tree, it's so sleek - and yes, it looks like Lazer Dawg was in the middle of receiving a transmission from the mothership when you snapped that photo

MK, fabulous color combo!! I'm not usually into multicolored lights, but your tree really works. And of course.... this kitty is fabulous as well
can we have a pic of the bun-bun??

this is nuggets, the rabbit, and andrew one of our cats. nuggets is 100% litter boxed trained and roams day and night, no cage. he will usually sleep with us at the edge of the bed but sometimes he does his own thing.

Thanks! That's a big compliment coming from a very talented artist such as yourself. Yes, I handmade those bows. I used to be a florist. So making bows like that only takes me seconds to do. I handmake bows for my family for their trees as well. And yes, the kids are getting some pretty big gifts this year from us. Hailey's getting one of those cars for toddlers that you get in and push around with your feet. Can't wait to see what she thinks. It took a lot of wrapping and some rewrapping because Hailey kept trying to rip them open. he he Can't expect too much...she's only 17 months. lol

I'll have to dig them out and post them. I definitely keep some pics of flowers I've made up. Mainly weddings though. I haven't sat down and just made an arrangement in a little. And I didn't take pics of the funeral work. I'll get them on here ASAP for ya though.

Here is my bouquet and a friend's from her wedding. I'll have to dig for the rest because I didn't have those on digital. Hope you like them.

I just finished mine. We went simple this year. I normally like colored lights and lots of decoration but some of my colored sets weren't working. I did have enough white to do the tree though. Well, with the white I decided to go with the red and white garland. Then I didn't want to add too many different kinds of ornaments so I went mostly with balls of different color so it wasn't so blah. I finished it with a few red bows. Here are some pics of my son with the tree. Of course the pups had to be in there too

oooooooh stunning! i just love the wrap on the 1st one - and those big overblown roses are just positively luscious. are they natural or did you wire petals on to them?

I love that topper... can we get a closeup??
Thanks! Here is a closeup of the top. It is actually different colored lights on each point of the star. I am sure that it would look so much better with the flash off. Then again if I could figure out how to do that on this camera then I would be able to post decent shots of my tank
Ah well. I try

Yep, bad lil Kane kitty broke the first ornament already. We have now moved the glass ones up and the couple of plastic ones closer to the bottom. I thought he would be good this year with the tree. Guess I was wrong LOL
Bad lil kitty kitty
