Tree Trimming Marsha

[Guest guest]

Wow. Have you ever thought about sending in a picture of your Tree with some

close-up of some of those to Country or Country Extra magazines?

I bet they would print a picture of that. Also send picture to The Carol Duvall

Craft show on DIY network TV station. She is always having folks come in an

demonstrate how they made something or send her an ornament they made with

directions for making it and she then demonstrates it on the air, often with

person on the phone with her, live on the air. Her Holiday workshop shows are

on everyday this week, in the morning. I bet you'd love it.

 

I can't even imagine how you fit something in a walnut shell. I'm so impressed

by all that you and others in your group have made for a tree. Thanks for

taking the time to tell about each one.
