It started out like this: We had this brown remote control caddy that we never used.
A tree like this is a great way to share family moments and to create conversation too!Babies will be fascinated by all the photos too and will probably grab them off the tree and maybe even take a bite out of them.
Ask me how I know.I attached the photos to the tree using these basic clips that you can find at any Staples store.Instead of the basic black color that you usually find this style of clip in, I grabbed the all silver ones for a little extra sparklyness!.
I’m hoping that we’ll be able to have Christmas morning breakfast this year in our newly-painted dining room, so this type of family photo tree will be the perfect backdrop..Even though I didn’t want to make complicated ornaments out of our pictures, I did try my hand at one type of ornament idea that I’ve seen around.
I couldn’t resist..
I just basically took a bunch of thumbtacks and stuck them into a foam ball.They told me they’d be sending me a contract and I could start writing the whole book from start to finish and I could turn it in at the end of March.
“OK, Courtenay, you’re an author now.Go write a whole book!
One of the main things that I learned about the whole book-writing process during those pre-contract-signing days was that the book writing process is S-L-O-W!!That’s definitely not how I normally roll, at all, but it’s actually something that I’ve come to appreciate because it allows you to create something really pretty special, without having to completely upset your whole life.
