Stick Tree

Here is my version of the tree everyone has cleverly made!

I put one crow in there...and used some spray painted (orange) clothespins to hold some fall leaves onto the branches.

Again, used some little halloween seed packets...

I hung the seed packets with ric rac...

The black container is from a thrift store, was an ugly brass color, spray painted black.

I thought about hanging some real seed packets from it, pumpkin and sunflower, just didn't see any in my hubby's stash! He has packets of seeds everywhere, I try to corral them so when he asks me for them I know where they are. He tends to set things down in the barn, shed, garden (2 acres worth), dining room table, under couch cushions...you get the picture. I as his loving and 'ONLY' wife get to retrace his steps and find these things...with an amazingly positive and cheerful attitude. Saying 'yes dear' with a smile is a skill I have learned from being married for (forever) 28 wonderful years. Picking up after your husband needn't be a frustrating act!! Think of it as extra excercise you wouldn't normally get otherwise. I wish I could say my thighs were skinny due to the squatting and bending over looking for things...but...now where was I? Oh yes, the seed packets...I didn't want to hang seed packets that were ugly!
