Christmas Tree: 2008

This year's version of the Cooper Christmas tree....a more skinnier tree since we renovated ourselves right out of our usual tree spot.

The comments from friends and family have been along the lines that the tree is elegant. Hmmm....I'm already thinking about different ways to decorate it next year.

This is actually two bows......one just looked a bit skimpy.

The tree is filled with glass ornaments of all shapes and sizes I've collected over the years.

I've even included a few framed images of the family.....

There are snowflakes of the gold, glittery kind.

Clear glass angels....Angels formed with gold wire.

Clear glass chandelier-type ornaments.

Clear glass drop ornaments along with cut glass snowflakes (to the right).

Old fashioned, elongated-type ornaments.

Spun glass angels....this one was actually a gift from a former student of mine.

Angels flecked with gold....

Ornaments in interesting shapes....

Golden globes filled with Christmas trees.

Old fashioned braided-type ornaments.

Jeweled golden snowflakes.

Balls formed from cranberries and grapes.

One of my new treasures I added this year....golden butterflies.

Another interesting glass ornament....

Angels with golden skirts....

Glass and gold ballerinas....

Irridescent glass snowflakes.

and finally.....our tour around this year's Christmas tree comes to an end with another full shot of it. Hmmm....there's still some time. What can I add to it besides some presents?
