Before & after - Can you spot the theme?


Well, it's finally done! When we lived up north we had a large tree but since we retired to Florida, our tree has gotten smaller and smaller. We first put up a 5' tree and then went to a 4' one in a regular stand. Now we're down to this pre-lit 3' tree in a pot that we put at the front door. It has become my theme tree.  Here it is in all it's naked glory.   I added a few of my favorite ornaments and voila!














Blogger is driving me absolute bonkers with the format. I cannot get pics to go where I want them and cannot type in prose where I want it. Anybody have any suggestions on how to fix this?

  2. How cute! I find that if I use the HTML box after I uploaded my pictures I can usually put the words where I want them. Hope that helps.

  5. That tree is perfect for you! Those little penguin ornaments are so cute!

    I always format my stuff in html in blogger or it usually doesn't turn out too well.

  9. I'm sorry I can't help with Blogger but I sure love the penguins. You must have some special place you find those because I've never seen them.

  12. The perfect theme! Unfortunately, I have to share my theme with my hubby who likes moose. So we have a moose/penguin tree. I do believe my penguins are winning, however!

  14. I always had a problem with pics in Blogger, which is one of the reasons why I was happy to be rid of it!

    The Girl would absolutely love your tree! We each by a new ornament every year, and hers was, of course, a penguin.

  18. You seem to have one or two penguins on your tree, Kaye. Sorry you seem to be getting our winter down there. If it makes you feel any better, it feels like the Arctic Circle here. :-\

  20. penguins--how perfect. Have a Merry Christmas :)

    on the pictures. I load all the pictures I want onto the picture browser. Then push the button "add selected". My pictures load onto my page. This is the weird part but it works. I start typing. When I'm ready to insert the picture I highlight it, copy and paste it where I want it to be in the post and then go back and remove the original. I'm with you, blogger sure made putting pictures into posts difficult.

  21. I'm not very adept at maneuvering images. Which is why mine are always centered at the top or within the body. Whenever I try to wrap text around them it gets ugly. I do not know the proper steps within HTML but I know it can be done that way. You just need to know how to format the code properly.

    Love your tree - what a nice way to reflect you and keep a little bit of your winter roots with you during the holidays!

  22. Love the small tree and the theme. You're not the only downsizing with the decorating :) Blogger goes bonkers from time to time and I have no idea why. sorry :)
