Oh What Fun with Paper Trees!
From whimsical to elegant, these Paper Trees are a breeze!
Here in the Pacific Northwest we sure do love our trees. Especially those of us, like me, who were born and raised here… Seattle to be exact. But while I can’t say that I love hiking or tree climbing or any of the other nature-ish activities that others do. I can say that my appreciation for the beauty of nature has grown strong roots. I just can’t imagine living life anywhere else. …Well except maybe Disneyland, but that’s a topic for another day. 😉
What type of tree is your favorite kind of tree? I have three…
- My Family Tree,
- a beautifully decorated Christmas Tree,
- and pretty Paper Trees!
