Spooky Tree...


Happy Monday!

Jenna and I worked on this "spooky tree" this weekend. I love doing projects with her...she is the glitter queen! The idea for this came from a scrapbooking magazine, I can't remember which one but, I think it was Scrapbooks, etc by Better Homes and Gardens (figures it was them ;-)) NOTE: don't start freaking out about the candle underneath the cheescloth ghost. I moved it to the other side of the room so as not to start the spooky tree on fire. That would be a memorable childhood experience, now wouldn't it? One thing we are going to have to work on is my daughters fascination with scotch tape. She wants to scotch tape EVERYTHING...what's wrong with glue, I say??? Here is a snip it of one conversation we had.


me: "Maybe it would hold better if you added a little glue?"

Jenna: "Tape works fine"

me: "I think if you tried a little glue just to be sure then you won't have to worry about it falling apart later"
Jenna: "No thanks, I like tape"
me: "But, glue dries clear and you can still see the tape"
Jenna: "So?"
me: "Here's some more tape"
Jenna: "Thank You" (She's always polite, even when I'm driving her nuts)
