Well, a couple of weeks ago, I was feeling kind of "blah" about this year's Festival of Trees because I was not going to be able to design a tree this year. But... the girls at the Festival needed another tree, so they let me decorate one today. (yay!) Most people will think this is totally silly, but doing a tree every year is a big deal to me. I'm not some world-famous designer, and I'll never get any award for what I do, but I enjoy it, and it's something I can do to help the Memorial Medical Foundation. Again, I know it sounds silly to most, but I wouldn't even be here, and neither would lots of people I love, if it weren't for the doctors and staff at Memorial, and I like to sort of give something back. They can take my donation of ornaments, some creative ideas, and a bit of time, and turn it around into hundreds of dollars.
ANYway, I did some last-minute scrambling, came up with an idea, and decorated a tree today. Thankfully, my BFF (yes, I know it's juvenile, but I used it anyway), Jennifer, was able to help me. Without her helping, I'd probably still be there, attaching little wires onto ornaments to secure them to the tree! With her help, though, we got everything finished in just a couple of hours. As I said, it's not going to win an award, but I rather like it.
And, best of all, Jennifer and I started throwing around some really cool ideas for next year. I love doing things that inspire me to think and do even more! It really makes for a good day. :)
