                      | Thinkin' bout something else!  Maybe next year (please, please, can we do this next year?????) you could also include a portion of each persons description about their tree--I had NO idea Tracey's ornaments were made of beeswax!  Fascinating!  I kept thinking....cookie? So, it would be kindof nice to know everyone's "story"...so to speak...that is, if we're lucky enough to do this againg next year!

                      | Fantastic!!  Now, if I can only remember to keep checking back to see what progress there's been about the "rules".  (I really don't like rules, you know; but, everything has to be ruled these days.  Must be getting countried old.) 
 From Cleveland to Idaho - what a ride!

                      | This topic is from last year. 
 This year the farm will not be hosting a Christmas Tree Contest.  The farm is very busy putting out our favorite magazine every two months and a few other things that are keeping their lights burning late into the night.
 
 However it would be fun if we all took pictures of our trees and posted them here!

                      | Alee - do you know if the photos from last year will be in the magazine this year? I didn't hear anything new after submitting photos last year. 
 I have been pondering of what kind of tree to do this year as we do a theme tree each year. At our office, we are doing an "office supply" tree with goofy stuff.

                      | I've always had a "homespun" tree because I like the old traditions. My mom lived on the prairie in S. Dakota when she was growing up and always had a Tumbleweed tree hung from the ceiling and wrapped with white rags because there were no trees around for miles.

                      | I am new to this board, but I am already loving it!  I make homemade Christmas ornaments every summer.  I give a box of them to all of my siblings, Mom and Aunt.  I even put a few in my kids hope chests. 
 I would love to do this!  So would the kids.  If this was for 2008 will there be one for 2009?
