WOW! What a busy day we had yesterday. First we had our pancake breakfast (new tradition) with Jessica & Steve (daughter & Fiancee) then we put up the tree & village. Whew!!! That was alot of work...Thank you Jessica & Steve. My back was hurting a lot yesterday by the time we were done...but feeling much better today, so I didn't strain it that badly. Thank God! Then we went to Mohegan Sun (Indian Casino in Connecticut, 1 hour away from home) to see Clay Aiken's Christmas show. What a great show he put on, I luv the way he sings...such a great voice! So we had a full day yesterday & had lots of fun! I'll post some pictures later or tomorrow of us putting up decorations.
Here is the second tree that I made & kept the turquoise color on the pot, I liked the way it looked with the paper that I choose for it. Jessica took that tree home yesterday. She is using that tree for her Christmas tree because she is moving to another apartment in Feb. & she doesn't want to go get her decorations from Steve's mom's house then pack it up again & bring back, too much work. So this tree is perfect for now.
I will have 1 more project for you to see tomorrow. Now I really need to get to work making a few more Christmas cards & gift card holders, & gifts to wrap...then I'm done! I still have 2 more rooms to clean & 3 more windows, can't wait to relax again! There's no end, but I have to tell you I fell less stressed this year than any other year. How are all of you doing?
Well have a great Monday, talk to you soon & thanks for stopping by today!
Hugs...Rita

The tree is lovely, glad to hear the tree is up and the village is out. I think I am leaving my village boxed this year. Heading out of town on the 26th. Take care of your back.
These trees are adorable! Do you have instructions? I would love to make a smaller one for my son's bedroom! BTW, LOVE your pics from The View! You're so lucky!
