~~~My Best Friends House~~~

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Hello my friends!!!! I thought I would share my best friends house tonight. I went up and helped her decorate it last week. I provided most of the things I will be showing you: every thing on the tree, and stairway for example. This is such a pretty tree on its own. She liked a burgundy and gold color scheme.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6QLiGbQWOO1_VowoyW_KLngvOWF8U0bp-DuHCZ4vPTO4GIwVB9fLqvIDr-UXE28japwmuMqeLPf29YE76w2UiK8685y8_I1sNWgrFFTScCwtwmvC5TM8EIgYduwl-Ei9yesNOzwqy24vd/s1600/IMG_0010.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" dda="true" height="640px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6QLiGbQWOO1_VowoyW_KLngvOWF8U0bp-DuHCZ4vPTO4GIwVB9fLqvIDr-UXE28japwmuMqeLPf29YE76w2UiK8685y8_I1sNWgrFFTScCwtwmvC5TM8EIgYduwl-Ei9yesNOzwqy24vd/s640/IMG_0010.JPG" width="480px" /></a></div> The topper is burgundy and gold sticks surrounded by 2 big fluffy bows.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwUvZKCu4ekjsrwgXqaf48phLyN8OgcHmJBevDtv34ToNwBRUu2EWF_AYBUh_4xSe2jPvhadZQz_Z5LKW8U4r4FO_tcm6J8h4yBvIl8uT_tjDWtXd6ZzbYhizoaO-G4xpyU-TBfAwMTVAg/s1600/IMG_0011.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" dda="true" height="640px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwUvZKCu4ekjsrwgXqaf48phLyN8OgcHmJBevDtv34ToNwBRUu2EWF_AYBUh_4xSe2jPvhadZQz_Z5LKW8U4r4FO_tcm6J8h4yBvIl8uT_tjDWtXd6ZzbYhizoaO-G4xpyU-TBfAwMTVAg/s640/IMG_0011.JPG" width="480px" /></a></div> Right under the bow is a beautiful hydrangea and berry pick.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr24Ft7plChFLOkp94FgHgpQnnvZz1-t9BAYJ_bMiAnChCmMpLgVfItbejgF2L4Y1JwZZAcUobPKQvxrnR_aeMDNWn4N7ig0FPsXNZ2764WafF3tk_IB6wPanFo1pPV5eHMeBi93JF-UQx/s1600/IMG_0012.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" dda="true" height="480px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr24Ft7plChFLOkp94FgHgpQnnvZz1-t9BAYJ_bMiAnChCmMpLgVfItbejgF2L4Y1JwZZAcUobPKQvxrnR_aeMDNWn4N7ig0FPsXNZ2764WafF3tk_IB6wPanFo1pPV5eHMeBi93JF-UQx/s640/IMG_0012.JPG" width="640px" /></a></div> I had gotten these gorgeous berry picks several years ago.
