It is a beautiful day and I am thrilled to show you my Memory Christmas Tree, as part of my Christmas home decorating. I have been dreaming about this tree for weeks.
Come along with me as I share how I created a Memory Christmas Tree.
I thought it would be really fun and creative to honor those I love and who have passed on-on my Christmas tree this year.
In my mind, designing this particular Christmas tree was going to be filled with black and white photos in frames.
But the more I thought about it, I wanted it to be an elegant tree with black and white photos tucked in.
Silver and white is the theme. I thought this would look best and highlight the photos.
This picture on my Memory Christmas Tree happens to be the only color picture. It is when my grandma met my oldest daughter for the first time. I love that it is a random picture featuring 3 generations. And one of my fvorites of all-time.
Isn’t this girl, just a doll? Well…it is actually my dad. He was 3 years old. It makes a great conversation starter for everyone. When he would “go to town” with his older brothers, the town’s people had a hard time believing he was really a boy.
Adding pictures of both sides of the family, helps the remember childhood stories and maybe even adding to a family tree.
Having the vintage photos in black and white or sepia add to the ambiance.
Tucking the photos into the tree rather than having them in frames creates a more random look of the hand placed pictures.
My Memory Christmas Tree is one of my favorite trees yet. To see how I created my Vintage Christmas Olive Bucket (in the background) as well, visit here.
How would YOU design or create a Memory Christmas tree?
