MY 2011 FAMILY ROOM TREE AND VILLAGE

Maria, that's a beautiful set-up! It's a great idea having surrounding the tree with 'modules'

Thank you. A friend of mine is on a very fixed budget and can't afford to buy the Lemax styrofoam platforms and wanted to mimic the look--she came up with the most clever idea however. In her basement was a set of encyclopeadias; she wrapped each book in vintage looking paper--all the same--white poinsettias on a red background--and used those as platforms. She'll send me pictures--let it suffice to say I think that's really clever.

Last shot. And thank you everyone for your wonderful comments. You have inspired me onward and upward for 2012!
