DIY Christmas #3 - Miniature Tree Ornaments!

Skipping my regular "Globetrotting Diaries" as I am busy with my DIY Christmas preps and I wanted to share the latest with you all!

Last week I made the wreath, a banner, some snow flakes, paper stars..etc...

BUT what about the tree, I love decorating Christmas Tree but I have neither a tree nor any decoration... and since we are in a travelling phase I don't want to collect stuff that I can't take with me when we move or have no place to store.

So I came up with this fun idea of decorating a Miniature Tree! I am also a miniature collector/maker/freak!! So it made perfect sense!!8

Like the dollar store in US we have a $2 Japanese store "Diaso" here in Singapore so from there...
I Got this $2 mini Christmas tree...

Globetrotting Diaries - Bronners's Christmas Wonderland

 Since the Christmas Spirit has started to shine, what could be more appropriate for today's post but the "Bronner's Christmas Wonderland" in Frankenmuth, Michigan. We went there last year and it was unbelievable, true like its name -A Christmas Wonderland! Don't ask how much we shopped!

A few interesting facts-

• It is the world's LARGEST Christmas Store.
• Was founded in 1945 by Wally Bronner, he always insisted on capitalizing the CHRIST in "CHRISTmas Wonderland."
• It is open year-round.
• The building is about 7.35 acres in size with an outside area covering 27 acres.
• Its parking lot can hold 1080 cars and 50 buses.
•  About 100,000 lights illuminate Bronner's half-mile long Christmas Lane every evening.
• It is visited by over 2 Million people every year.
• Bronner's has the exclusive right to sell Precious Moments Christmas-themed figurines.
• Its inventory exceeds 50,000 trims and gifts, including Christmas ornaments, artificial Christmas trees, Christmas lights, Nativity scenes, Christmas decorations, collectibles, and similar goods.
• Bronner's electrical bill averages US$1,250 per day.
• If all the light sets sold in one year at Bronner's were stretched out in a continuous line, they would span approximately 530 miles (850 km).
