:: Baked goods.
:: Fires in the fireplaces.
:: Thinking about loved ones...
And thinking of creative ways to both celebrate the holidays but still keep my basic waste-free, environmentally conscience values.
So, say hello to our tree this year!
After Daddy's new (made in the USA!) bicycle came in from Worksman Cycles Factory, we had a big old cardboard box we didn't know what to do with.
So Daddy came up with the brilliant idea of repurposing it into this year's Christmas tree!
Standing at a whopping 1'3", our tree is made of the following elements:
:: thrifted dowel makes up the trunk
:: cardboard box gave us the tree and branches
:: scraps of yarn were turned into bows and "tinsel"
:: silver and green paints saved over the years gave us that extra color
:: chocolate kisses give us ornaments as well as a tasty treat now and then ;)
I love my husband and the holiday spirit and an environmentally gentle alternative to killing a tree or buying an artificial one. I hope this little guy lasts through the years and we can add more and more to him.
Stay warm and happy holidays to you~
