More Chirstmas boxes

I use to love to collect Ornaments for different trees at Christmas time... I use to put up around 20 trees... all different sizes... from 2 feet tall to 6 feet tall.. and then the main tree was generally a little bit larger... like hitting the ceiling... loved it all... but now a days... I generally don't even get one up...  so I wanted to give the kids (not really kids anymore... in their 30's... ahem... )  some of the ornaments from their childhood...  So that is what I have done here... the one on the right is for our son... 
And this one for our daughter...  I chopped off the top tree... that I made in 1969.... wow... a few years ago... it is a little brush tree and I glued tiny pinecones all over it...  

Of course I used a lot of tissue tape on these boxes... and so I think this also apply for the two challenges that I am putting them into... they both are really 100% Tim Holtz oriented... with the exception of the old ornaments...   So Simon Says Stamp and Show is all about Tim's Tags... which I do all the time... love doing them... and Also GRUNGY MONDAY ... which is to use Tape...  which I certainly used a lot of that here... didn't I???  


I still will make a couple more entries as I want to make some pretty tissue flowers... I love Lindas... and if you haven't taken a look... please do... it is really WONDERFULLY Pretty...  Thanks for the challenge Linda...  


Happy New Year is coming up soon... so get ready... 
I am having a play day the day of New Years Eve... so I will start celebrating early... YEAH!!! 


Hope that you have safe plans for the week-end... and remember to always enjoy... Love, Light and Peace... Bonnie
