Take a good look at this tree. It's the reason I still don't have the tutorial written up. It's 10:00 pm and I am just now brushing the glitter off my lap.
It's insane. I can't stop myself. I had every intention of posting the tutorial tonight so it would be up tomorrow while I'm working at Paper Tales. I even told Diane today how I'm really not getting that much done this Christmas because I really want to spend time with the boys.....
No sooner than I get home from school with them, make glitter and cheese pizzas, I am lured back into my craft room by a crepe paper tree......
And, two lucky boys got to watch Toy Story 3 with popcorn and lemonade. Cries of "You're the best, Mom!" were heard from the family room and around the world.....Yeah, I know.
Tutorial on Sunday...I promise.....unless I make more trees....no.... I won't make anymore......I think.....See you on Sunday!
Oh boy oh boy oh boy, can't wait to see the tutorial! Do the tutorial first THEN make more trees - we've already got our decorations up... except for totally bare windowsills which definitely NEED these trees! So please do the tutorial - I'll be checking back tomorrow, fingers & toes crossed, lol.
So glad you like the recipe cards: I'll do more.

OMGosh - these are just beautiful! And by the way, doesn't everthing taste a little better with glitter - like morning coffee, lunch at the work table, afternoon tea...... I'm sure you get the picture. Anyway, I'm looking forward to one more thing to glitter! Happy Pink Saturday!

Oh my gracious. What lovely and unique pink Christmas tree with all those cute ornaments. Not to mention all the other delightful trees, decorations, and goodies. They are sooo cute! I plan to pop back to see the tutorial. I have a feeling it's beyond my skills, but just in case it's not, it would definitely be fun activities for grandparents and grandchildren at my house! :) And if too hard, I think my grandkids and I may join in your kids' fun with another go-round of Toy Story 3 . :) Happy Pink Saturday!

Those are beautiful. I want to make some too, can't wait for your tutorial.

When you are involved in your pretty tree making, you tend to get lost in your own little world. We are all guilty of that. At least when in your world, you are creating lovely things.

You are giving a tutorial? WOW you are the greatest. I saw the christmas boxes next to it and those are so cute. I have my birthday box on my shelf and just love it.

Okay, Karin--so glad you came by my blog tonight so I could follow you back to yours....LOVE these trees! Can't wait for your tutorial--I'm totally inspired! I so love vintage, glitter and everything else that goes with it, that these are just perfect for me! (By the way, my family gets fed glitter and {fill in the blanks} every night for dinner!)
I'll be following along--hope you're having a wonderful weekend!
