Have loved looking at all your lovely trees and decs. I need to tidy up before going and getting ours but am unwell and can't bend down so it's really holding me back this year-looking at these has cheered me up though.

That tree is gorgeous :T and you don't need anywhere to pack it away after xmas ...
Im suprised it didn't sell for more

Hi MrsMc - thank you! That's the price the school put it at. I thought it wouldn't sell, how wrong was I?! It's meant to be 20 layers but I only did 14 as I ran out of cookie dough and [STRIKE]couldn't be bothered[/STRIKE] was unable to make any more what with the short timescale. I'm making one for Christmas Sunday and I'll use white icing all over - much more grown up. Haven't "spoken" to you since I was last on the GC thread, hope you're well. I've noticed you're on the £4K challenge, roll on January, eh?! :T :eek:

We go to delamere forest for our tree, we always get it 2nd weekend in December, so it'll be next week when we go. I have never had a problem with them lasting until we take it down usually 3/4th jan.

We always cut 1-2" off the bottom water it regulary and dont put it near any radiators. I think it also depends on what type of tree you buy with regards to shredding.

We get the scots pine, i love them nice and full. Smell gorgeous too,

Will see you there!

Hehe Getting my tree tomorrow cant wait :j
Will post pics

Thought I'd share my latest tree with you all (Sorry, still don't know how to make the pictures smaller)



I gave it to my DS and DD's school fair yesterday and it sold for £6 :eek:

That's soooooo pretty - how did you make it??

Thank you! It's made with different sized star cookies, using cutters, I then put royal icing on, stacked them and put smarties on the ends. Lastly I dusted it in icing sugar for the "snow".

I got the cutters from here. This is the cheapest I've found them (normally around £11-£13)

Everybody's trees are really beautiful, I really love the cookie tree, so creative!

We've put up our decorations this afternoon, here they are:









Hope this works, I'm rubbish with photo's! x

Can anyone else see the polar bear face at the top of this (beautiful btw - my dd would love it!) tree? He/she has pink eyes, a big black nose and is wearing a party hat (the angel's skirt).

Lovely trees on here! After seeing them, I will so NOT be putting a piccy of mine up when it is done!
