When I moved out from the big house to a smaller one (divorce) I had to set up the tree and decorate it. I didn't feel like getting out all the Christmas stuff so I found a perfect full small tree, sunk it it a big pot of water and put fairy lights on it. Daughter folded cranes the year before and I just used them instead of baubles. It came out so fabulous that it has become a tradition. My tree does not have that many cranes but the one your photo is beautiful.

I can't even imagine the time it took to make and decorate that tree.
ReplyDeleteSomeone with a lot more patience than me...
DeleteI think they were actually made by school kids.
DeleteWow... that looks like well over 10,000 cranes. My school made 1,000, and they only covered a window. It's very beautiful, though.
ReplyDeletePeach: It was a big tree, too, but, like I said, I didn't count them.
DeleteA little taste of Christmas in June...

parsnip: Do you save the cranes or do you make new ones every year?
