Perhaps you've noticed... It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Already.
I know there are some who think that stores putting out the trees, stockings and candy canes this early are rushing the season but, at least for the 2019 season, let's think of it as a blessing because this year we sure could use that extra time. 

Here at North Pole West, Tucson AZ it is 104 so far today but we still love July.

Think the word "July" and suddenly your mind is flooded with images of t-shirts, fireworks, buffalo burgers on barbeques, pick-up truck picnics, sweet iced tea and laughter traveling through the steamy night air. Yes, think "July" and think Christmas.

Yes, Christmas. Cowboy Christmas that is. How can this be you ask? 

In the first installment of the "Great DIY Cowboy Christmas Tree" project we made bandana garland which helps give our tree a sense of flow or motion horizontally. This week it seems the logical choice to add a bit of vertical interest as well.

Enter the beloved icicle, a Christmas tree branch tip tradition for centuries, only time we give it a cute western twist.
