Christmas in July Celebration Features and my Craft Room Tree!!

I have been straightening and cleaning my Craft / Sewing Room in preparation for the annual Where Bloggers Create Party over at My Desert Cottage this coming weekend.

To tour of my entire Craft Room, please click HERE

I FINALLY got a chance to decorate the tree that stays up in my Craft Room year round.

Many of you know that I have at least 2 trees decorated in my home year round.

This is how I decorated my Summer Craft Room Tree.....

I added 3 sets of 10 silk rose lights to the white lights that I already had on the tree.....

I bought these lights several years back....

All lit up......

Love these lights....

I decided to add this sheer pink garland to the tree.....

I only had one roll......

See it glimmer......

Then I added all the ornaments......

All Summer like things....

Like Butterflies .....





And Ice Cream Cones.......

And a Seed Packet......

Cup Cakes.....



And Birds.....



Even a Hummingbird!




Isn't she grand?????

I LOVE the glow of a tree in a room.....



On top is a new bow I made from Pink ribbon from the Dollar Store......

And feathers!!!!









I also added real tea cups and some tea cup and tea pot ornaments......

And I poked in pink and white silk roses into the tree........





All lit up......













So that is my Summer Craft Room Tree.

I still have my Patriotic Tree up in my Living Room....

And now I would like to feature my fellow Bloggers who have joined the Christmas in July Celebration:

  2. Love your craft room tree. We bought a tree we ended up not liking (too narrow, we thought, and had clearly been used and returned to the store prior to our buying it). We thought of taking it back and then decided that this year we will use it in our bedroom. I will use a theme similar to yours on this tree, I think. Thanks for sharing and also for hosting!
