Skirting the Issue!

 We've never had a Christmas Tree skirt before. We've never needed one because of where our tree spent the holidays. I've used galvanized buckets, a basket, a quilt, and a leopard fleece a couple of times to cover the base. But never an actual round legitimate tree skirt. 

But we rearranged our Family Room this Fall during the One Room Challenge. Our tree is in a more open spot and we can see the base of the tree.

 Aaaaaand we can't put our presents under the tree this year because.... Cooper!!

Do you see that paw juuuuust barely touching the present? And that look?? 

Mollie announced, after the tree was decorated, that we most definitely needed a tree skirt this year. Agreed. So off to the fabric store we went. We have a gem of a fabric store near us, Fabric and Fringe Warehouse, and I can almost always find what I'm looking for! 

We had only walked down 2 aisles when we saw THE fabric!! 

And they had huge rolls of  fringe trim in a clearance area for $3 for the entire roll - not per yard - the whole roll!! Wow. And one matched perfectly. We were in business!

Do you use a tree skirt? We love this one and now we wonder why we waited so long to be "tree skirt people!"
