Sneak peek: Tree trimming

As part of the Festival of Trees for Southlake Hospital, I found myself doing a mad dash to Newmarket last week to trim my first - but certainly far from my last - tree of the season.

After doing a lot of shopping - er, I mean research - I ended up picking up most of my supplies from Canadian Tire's Debbie Travis line.

Of course, my tree had a purple, city dweller theme, with a smattering of shoes!

Seriously, though, how cute are those little boots? I also picked up a bunch of glass slippers!

And, the final product, with one very tired homes editor and a tree topper that still needed a last little bit of TLC.

How's that for getting a headstart on a little Christmas spirit?
