Hi there, Well, after all that talk about crafty Christmas trees, I ended up with something else entirely: It's silver! Now I'm in the market for some easy, affordable Christmas decorations – I'm thinking that red decorations would look great with the white lights and the silver branches. Here are a couple I might be trying my hand at this weekend:

• Cute patterned garland (I like the one with the rick-rack!) from WhipUp.
• DIY salt-dough ornaments and macaroni ornaments from Stephanie via Katy Elliott

I'm also thinking about a simple garland of red and white felt balls, though it occurs to me that if I'm not careful, I'm going to run out of space on that tiny tree. What do you think – any suggestions?
