an attempt to make a holiday count down

I was so excited to make a Christmas Count Down out of a tree cut out I found

Look at the mess I made!




I couldn't decide what to do after I covered the tree with cool paper. So I added candy cane tags - but I didn't like them, so I ripped them off. And they left a little bit of paper behind. I feel so frustrated with it, but my kids are happy with it!


This is how it looks so far, but I'm not sure what to do with it, any suggestions??

My friend Cathy painted hers - go here to see how it turned out! It's beautiful!

Holly - That's wonderful! Why did you take the candy canes off? Did it look too busy? What about adding a paper garland. Or cut some "ornaments" out of scrapbook paper and put those on.

I think it looks wonderful even if you don't do anything else to it.

Holly, I think that it looks great! You did a really nice job on it. Sounds like you had a great Thanksgiving also...so many blessings to be thankful for.
