Making a Tree

I wanted to have one of those book trees for Christmas this year. You know the ones - they look like this. One problem. Most of my books are picture books. Picture books are very thin. That makes for a very... short tree. Hm. So, I came up with plan B. Our landlord came by recently with a new ladder. The box it came in was nice and tall and wide and I had an idea... I cut out two matching trees, painted them green and made this: I like this better - it's cute! I may add decorations later today. At any rate, I've been feeling crafty and this was a fun project to do. Now, I need to make cookies.
