Are you thinking what I’m thinking…..

December 1, 2010

Should I be getting a saw out ?? Take a look at this little gem. I’ve been eyeing it for the past few months in our yard…..would it hurt to remove a few branches to prop in the corner?

This beauty would probably pay for our whole Christmas if we sold it cut up…look how much they charge for branches here.

 

 

why didn’t I do it in the fall…

Now,  I’m wondering if it will kill the tree doing it in the winter…hmmm …. To be continued….

    love those branches….i’d cut some and stick ’em in the vase or basket!….go for it!
    i went to Crate and Barrel yesterday and they’re selling some cool smaller branches, spray painted in silver glittery paint for the holidays….they look cool in a clear glass vase with rocks at the bottom…..

    Jeanette… cool idea!

    Hey does anyone know if there is something to paint on the exposed tree trunk after I cut it? My husbands worried I’m going to kill the tree!…I should try and google info 🙂
