Perhaps the suspense isn't all that necessary, but it was unintentionally built up over the last couple days' posts. So get ready...here it is!
It's a Christmas scrap paper tree! It ended up being somewhat bigger than I anticipated, but I found a good place for it on the bookshelf, as you can see. It was super easy, if somewhat time consuming...basically, you cut out a ton of leaves from scrapbook paper, glue two of them together with floral wire in between, and wrap the wire around branches. And ta da! Scrap paper tree! I may go back in and take out one of the sticks...it's looking a bit cumbersome at the bottom. But overall, I'm happy with how it turned out, and I really enjoy having a craft project sitting around to work on. My next project (much less involved) will be luminaries made from jars. Should be fun :)
The directions I followed are at
this link. Like any craft, their version is much more polished and perfect, but I like my more rustic version. In totally unrelated news, I went and saw
Tower Heist in theaters tonight, and it was good. You ought to go see it. Afterwards my friend and I got burgers at Chips at Lovers Lane and Inwood. If you live in Dallas, you should go eat there.
Work meeting most of the day tomorrow...happy Saturday?
