Thanks, Effie for all the creative decorating and sharing the fruit of your labors with us. I'm sure you brought smiles of appreciation to all who visited. And after all that, not decorating at home makes perfect sense!

These photos are two more views of the Ag museum tree taken from the front. In the first you can see the red bow at the top and several of the round hand-made ornaments I made. They also didn't have anything to use as a tree skirt so I brought the red blanket that's under the tree.
Behind the red bow on top you can see the green toy tractor.
The second of these two photos is a close up of some of my ornaments. They are little "pillows" that represent the 12 Days of Christmas. I put them on the tree in order from top to bottom. All I had to do to make them was cut out the circles from a fabric, sew them onto a backing (odd # on green, and even # on red fabric), then turn them and stuff them with quilt batting. I did also sew the name of the "day" on the back side.
