OK, while I was out of town for Thanksgiving (a couple hours away) I found a tree farm. I decided to try a real tree this year to see how it works out. By the time I got there it was sort of late in the evening and kind of chilly, but I really had fun and enjoyed picking out one. For those who have never picked a tree, at this particular farm you pick the tree, they cut it down for you, shake it for bugs and dead leaves and stuff, then cut the base off even. I think I will maybe try one of those Fraser Firs next year cause I am not really smelling the pine in this one. But it's all good, I am loving the look and I get the satisfaction of knowing I picked it out (with the help of a little friend). I did get a hayride around the farm. The owner must have thought I was crazy when I told him the tree needed to go into my little Civic and to put that 6ft tree into my trunk! Can you believe it fit with the seat down....sky is the limit with this car I tell ya!
Now I need some gifts under it, off to make some! Enjoy!
Happy Crafting T
