Winter Decor

DSC_0016

I told my dad that someday I needed him to go to the mountains and cut me some birch branches.  For my birthday (much to my mother’s dismay) he loaded up their lovely Escalade with lots of very messy branches.  I was so excited to put them all over the house for my winter decorations.

I wanted one of the thick branches for a kind of pedestal but after 45 minutes with a hand saw I decided it wasn’t worth it, besides Jaxson told me I was making a huge mess on the floor.  Then I remembered my dad had his table saw downstairs.  I have never used one before but I carried the huge branch down the stairs and after I finally figured out how to turn it on I got my pedestal.  I was quite proud of myself so I went to town cutting all sorts of sizes for my baskets.  Thanks Dad!!
