ta da!! here it is...

Remember this?

I liked it a lot, so much that I thought I'd "Go Gold" myself this year.

Here's my effort.

What do you think?

Really, be honest, I don't mind....not everybody thinks the way I do, and that's okay.

Of course it would look more like the display model if I had a taller, fatter tree, but since I'm limited for space, this will have to do. I may get something with fatter branches for next year, but it will still have to be a small tree. 

Here's a few close-ups of the ornaments.

I do love shimmery, shiny things that catch the light and sparkle.

I've used strings of bead chain instead of the "tinsel rain" that I used for years, because it doesn't blow off the tree when I have the fan running. I bought a long length and cut it at 30cm lengths.

Oh look! There's my reflection. You probably don't want to see that.

As always, there are more images, but the computer isn't playing along nicely, so this will have to do.
