Swan tree part II

The banner that almost finshed me!

Tulle tree and pink wrapping

Another pinkish Santa

I love my big pink swan tree. I usually do yards of tulle around the tree but Pink Boy was too tired to do it. So a simpler tree this year. I have been hanging prisms and ropes of chandelier glass on the tree for about 25 years now.

The pretty cone was a gift from a sorority sister years ago. She made it for me. It is one I treasure. I wanted to do a banner like the one I saw in PB catalog theirs was too rustic for me. I searched high and low for someone to make it how complicated it all became. I almost gave up. Then I stopped in at Kinkos and in less than a day I had my banner. It is a bit wider than I wanted but I may tweek it next year. Sometimes you go around the barn a few times before you find the cow! Ha

Have a PINK day!

Be an elf and help me

As I may have mentioned before I have all these ideas...aahhm and some of them come about and some of them drive me crazy and some never work at all. I really am not at all crafty --what little I do is a fluke-- but I do have visions of how I want things to look or ideas for things.

And one of my ideas for this year's big pink tree (stuff on it is pink not the tree) is a pretty white banner of either ribbon or paper about 6 foot long probably two to place near top of the tree with some words in pretty curvy script on it.

Well, this has turned into a nightmare!! One would think I am inventing some new robot or something.

The image above is from Pottery Barn, the banner (I bought one to show to people) is the right size 5 inches wide but the background is dark, the letters are block like and not what I want to say at all. So the search continues for plain white or pale pink 5 inch wide paper that I can have in 6 foot lengths. Then I will use stamps or maybe even try my own "fancy" writing on it. I also want to glitter the edges. Desperate times and all that! ha

Does anyone have a source for paper like that? I need it in long 6-8 foot lengths. It has to be stiff enough to place into the tree but not so stiff it wrinkles a lot and can only be used once.It also has to be smooth so I can write on it.

Any pink help? Leave me a comment or email me. I am afraid I won't be doing this this year.

Have a PINK day!
