We have a bunch of small circle cuttings off the bottom that I was planning on stringing up, now I'm going to write a greeting on them, so thank you very much! Now I just have to get around to it before next year... Or maybe I could pack it away and have it be a sort of craft before we get next years tree? I LOVE the candle holder idea. Definitely want to remember that for next year. Maybe you could repost this next year to remind me?Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14998135513799768841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5600619126692959890.post-9740772199562264262011-01-20T14:17:44.218-05:002011-01-20T14:17:44.218-05:00What a lovely ideas - I particularly love the garl...What a lovely ideas - I particularly love the garlands.

I too got everything out of our christmas tree last year: we cut the branches at the bottom and used them over new plants for protection against frost and hail. The tree itself was placed in the middle of the garden whenever we had snow: I hung birdfood in it. So lovely to see the birds seeking shelter in and under the tree and finding food to get by during winter. The last of the tree was eventually burned in a nice fire during a summer night when we had my mother and brother over! <br />I must try the wood burning pen tip! Thanks! My boys will love it!

I have been hankering for some wooden discs like that thinking where will I find some wood. Well it's in our front yard ready to be recycled by the town. Well they are not getting the whole tree. I wonder how fast I can cut it up!
