WOYWW #460 - Easter Tree

Having seen a white plastic Easter Tree in Asda a while ago and bought some decorations for one, I  shopped around for a nice one but none to be found.

So I pruned a branch from the bottom of my Silver Birch and got the Gesso out, followed last night by the Liquitex. Now I have a nice one.


Last week saw even more egg cutting out for our Easter Event as the number of children attending had risen from 80 > 130!

I went to a Ladies Day at church on Saturday and received the organza gift bag at the base of the tree.




I made a little cross from bits of the tree which were too long and that is sitting next to this month's SWAP which I received via the scenic route as the post code had been read completely wrong!





I did make up some cards though. I used the mini eggs and made one like the wreath for our Pastor's wife as a memento from the Amazing Easter Event she put on last week.


Happy Easter 

and


Happy WOYWW Everyone.

    Well, first of all I didn't know about Easter trees but i like what I see and think `i need to go out in the garden and see what I can find. Lovely idea and I have some small eggs that I used to hang on a branch years ago - if I can find them.
    Lovely cards too BJ. I love the pastel colours you used.
    Hugs, Neet 2 xx

    Hi BJ, seeing that Easter tree took me back to my year living in Germany in 85/86. Wow, working with that many children at once needs plenty of preparation and it certainly looks like your ready. Great cards with the left over bits and pieces. Happy Easter. Sarah #7

    I'm now eyeing up the branches of my neighbour's rowan tree, BJ - they have potential and that is such a lovely idea. It would not surprise me to find that you are dreaming about those eggs - you've made so many! The ATC is very beautiful and your cards are very pretty too. Happy Easter. Have a wonderful week.

    Oh! Oh I love that tree so much! I may have to copy your idea - it would be lovely to have up all year round. No trees in my piddly garden though so I may have to wait till I see the council gardeners doing some pruning.

    Have a lovely week and happy Easter to you too,

    WOW! That is a lot of new sign ups! I wouldn't be able to resist signing up either it is an awesome project! Loe the cards! Many years ago I came home to find an easter tree on my front porch...I had never heard of them before but a grateful patient of mine made one up out of plastic coated wire and twisted it into shape! I had forgotten I had it till this post...thats the way my brain works post op...forgets everything! Hope you are having a great week! ...I am late getting around as usual! Vickie #39
