This little tree reminds me of the tree my sister picked out one Christmas when I was little. Our family always loved to go cut down our own tree each year. It was so much fun! I love trudging through the snow to find that "perfect tree!" My mom hated the cold and usually stayed home and made popcorn balls and hot chocolate for us while the rest of us went with Dad to get the tree.
That year my older sister was sick with a cold and had taken some medication. She was really drowsy, dull, and just plain out of it! She probably should have stayed home in bed. Anyway, she INSISTED on us cutting down a crooked tree with branches missing here and there. So we did. {I think she just wanted to hurry and get one so she could go home and sleep.} It was definitely not the "perfect tree!" But she thought it was.
It was a funny looking thing, but we all had fun laughing and decorating it anyway. She still gets teased about that tree. My brother refers to it as, "Dull's Choice." But actually, it made a great family memory!
I stuck a green shimmery star brad at the top and used some red stickles for the bulbs.
Guess who I'm sending this card too?
