Well it turned out GREAT Kim!! just like I knew it would... and do I recognise that fabric around the base as the background in Heather's calendar pic???

Really creative!

This is perhaps my most favorite Christmas Tree EVER!!! #1 You don't have to kill a tree to get it #2 You don't have to pay a rip-off price for a murdered tree! #3 It's organic-recycling at it's best!, creative, personalized and simply beautiful! Talk about a small carbon (and financial) footprint for the season!

YOU ARE AMAZING!

Love you! BTTS xoxo

Love this Kim. I think I'm gonna put one in every room. I've gotta go, I got to go out to kill a few trees. That's the downfall of living in Florida. Damn things never die!

Gia, you gotta walk through the woods. I know there are downed tree branches in the woods. BUT, the great thing about Glorida is you have so many cool materials with which to work. I used to love coming up with art projects made from palm tree bark (it's like natural burlap) and oh my goodness, what about the palm fronds and the white thingies with the little balls on the ends? Do you know what I am talking about? Watch the different palm trees during different seasons. There is so much you can

[daligoddess2006]

do with them. When I lived in Florida, my garage was full of all sorts of natural stuff that came from plant and tree life there. The Jacaranda seed pods are one of my faves. They make cool looking earrings! You have a wealth of things to choose from. Get out there and have fun "Nature shopping"! Wish I was there with ya, I'd show ya all the stuff I'm talking about.
