Christmas Tree Of Books

One of the problems with writing a blog for so long is that you start to repeat your self on occasion.  The up side is while I may repeat a theme, it's usually 'cause I have some fresh material YAY!  So here once again are some fabulous trees made of our favorite thing ever BOOKS!

Red and Books

I love the color and contrast of this picture

Now that you are all inspired go out and create me a forest of book tree's my reading minions...and send lots of pics!  Happy Reading Everybody!

Literary Themes of Christmas Trees

In my eternal search for all things bookish...and my love of Christmas, I have stumbled across these inspirational trees.

ARC Tree

This tree is decorated with items made from ARC's...which is about the only way I could justify tearing up a book.  Check out the rest of the post for close-ups, it is really well done.

Mad Hatter Tree

I am loveing this Mad Hatter tree inspired by Alice in Wonderland

White Tree of Minas Tirith

Not a traditional tree, but this is an awesome representation of the the White Tree of Minas Tirith from The Return of the King,  and would be cool for the non-traditional types. 

Narnia Tree

Once again click the link to get all the details.  I love the lampost topper as for me that is one of the most memorable book images I have ever read.

Harry Potter Tree

Yay Harry Potter!  In the books the importance of Christmas makes me smile, and this tree captures the book and the spirit perfectly.

Oddly enough I could not find any Jane Austen trees...so...I guess I know what I'm doing next year :-)  send me pics and tell me about your literary inspired tree!  Happy Reading Everybody!

We Have Christmas!

Sorry about the lack of post yesterday, had 80 hours at work this week, including a straight 45 hour shift at the fire station...so I slept instead of posting.  Today however we shall kick off the Christmas season with a look at my Christmas Happy Reading Awesome Dwelling of Super Holiday Cheer!

My tree, this year we have copper and dark green as a theme

My story fox

My quote ornament I made last year

Books and nutcrackers, two of my favorite things

Everything gets decorated

Even the bookshelves get some Christmas Cheer

I love having my house all decorated for Christmas.  After long weeks like this, it is great to come home, curl up in my fuzzy blanky, and enjoy the coziness and colors of Christmas.  I hope everybody else is having a fabulous day.  Happy Reading Everybody!

And A Book On Top

It is snowing, there is Christmas music on and I am sipping a peppermint mocha...it can only mean one thing TIME TO DECORATE THE TREE!  Actually mine has been decorated for a week, and I even created some snazzy book related decoration, but since my camera is being dumb you will just have to wait to see it.  In the mean time here are some perfect ways to put that finishing touch on you book tree.

DIY Starburst Topper

This topper can be quite impressive for very little work.

Sparkly Flower Topper

I love the sparkles and jewels on this one

Book Star

If you are more of a traditionalist this star may fit the bill

Woven Book Star

Seriously can somebody please make this for me?

Book Angel Wings

This could look really cool fastened to the top of your tree.

The best thing about all of these toppers is that they all come with instructions on how to do them yourself, or if your like me to give to the coordinated crafty people in your life who do not hot glue there fingers together.  Hope you have fun decorating your tree or home or small pets, send me pics!  Happy Reading Everybody!
