Ours collects them and turns them into mulch which residents are free to go collect later if needed. <br /><br />As for the rose, it was a first time try. I saw this video and decided that it didn't look too hard (It's similar to cake decorating roses - but I've never tried cake decorating (yet!) However, it was a little difficult manipulating the clay into thin petals as depending on the type of clay used, it cracks quite easily.Rianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472421271620543536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-70884460260408491222012-12-05T09:58:36.035-08:002012-12-05T09:58:36.035-08:00Rian, I have followed the same tree path except I ...Rian, I have followed the same tree path except I am already doing the table top size. I put the whole thing up by myself yesterday. It is certainly not as flashy as some, but the ornaments that survived my various purges are those that really mean something to me. And Christmas is so much about memories for me.Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00692441479616299920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-70849071134997805632012-12-05T06:53:35.191-08:002012-12-05T06:53:35.191-08:00Your tree is huge, and lovely!

Our City doesn't collect trees after the holidays anymore, leaving those of us without vehicles no way of disposing of them. (A lot end up in ditches, or just left to turn brown by the curb.)<br /><br />That rose also is lovely! I'm so impressed with your talents, as someone who has no artistic ability of any kind. :-)<br /><br />I hope your arm improves without need for a doctor's visit.Fuzzy Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09505853082591216696noreply@blogger.com
