I am pleased to report that I actually did just that!
Also, there were no decorations broken or otherwise harmed in the process, an unusual occurrence. And I made 5 trips into our underground crawl space to store said tree without bumping my head once.
I did, however, break a fingernail.
While I am cleaning up holiday whatnot.....
Here are a couple of Christmas cards I made to use up misc. papers and ribbons cluttering my table.
The second is my favorite with the crochet lace, embossed ribbon and twine. The stamps and paper are CTMH from a few years ago, oldies but goodies.
And while there are still a few holiday challenges open I will submit this card to:
