Outside Christmas Tree

We spent most of the summer working on our back yard area and I knew I wanted to put up a tree.

I needed something to hold the tree from blowing over of falling over from a critter weather it be one of the outside cats, a possum or a raccoon.  Thanks to Funky Junk Interiors I built the tree inside a step ladder.  

Every tree needs a star!

I had a family dinner and had all the kids help me out and paint pine cones I picked up in the yard.

For the garland I used torn shirts.

I built this tool box a while ago and I fixed it to the part of the ladder that folds down to put your paint can on, anyway I put Mr and Mrs Claus in this tool box.  This was a lot of fun.

Thanks for stopping by.
