A WOODEN CHRISTMAS TREE...




I photographed this
Christmas Tree
a couple of years ago








A very innovative design
made out of
tongue and groove
timber boards 





with beautiful baubles


and Christmas words



Christmas slippers
(mental note to me to make my granddaughters
a pair each for next Christmas!
Would any of you have a pattern or maybe
you can recommend where I may find one???)







Wishing you all a
stress free time
in the lead up to
the most wonderful
feast day
in the Church calendar.

Thinking of those poor families
affected by the school shootings
in Newtown, Connecticut.

Sending our love and prayers

on behalf of

New Zealand families.



Today I'm linking to
Mary of Mosaic Monday
Becky for Blissful Whites Wednesdays

Be kind to one another
Joyeux Noël

  4. Oh Dear Shane
    I can't even begin to imagine the horrific grief suffered by so many especially those dear little angel souls in Newtown, Connecticut. I can hardly get my head around it! So incredibly sad!

    On a another less somber note I have to say I love that Christmas tree and love how inventive people can be with a tree.
    Our Christmas tree two years ago I created from a stack of different wooden boxes - new and vintage!

    Hoping to write in a day or two.

    Sending many hugs to you,

    Suzy ♥

  5. It's very different Shane ... Maybe not as easy to decorate but it would last forever and could be handed down from family to family.

  7. I think that we all feel a little differently about Christmas this year...it's certainly more of an effort to feel jolly.

  15. what a unique idea for a tree-my hubby would love this one :):)Those slippers are darling-I hope you find a pattern. Un Joyeux Noel a toi aussie.

  16. Cute idea and also love the slippers. They would be too hard to make a pattern for. Trace a small shoe shape or foot shape for the bottom, then make a curve half moon for the front and a straight piece for the back. You may need to play around with the curve of the moon a bit. Play with paper until you get the shape you want, then cut out of felt or fabric and sew. Now if I were nearby, I would love playing here. Love NZ
