Rosette Tree

This is my inspiration for Christmas Day table decorations.

As some of you will know my son is out in Arizona studying and will not be home for Christmas (he will be enjoying himself in Las Vegas!) So Mr Rum and I were expecting a very quiet holiday celebration this year but we are very lucky to be sharing Christmas with my nephew (whom I last saw when he was 2 in 1988!) and his wife who have come over to the UK from Australia. They have come to spend time travelling before settling down for a while and are joining us for a few days between Spain and Scotland!

I thought it would be nice to decorate the table with something I had made and when I saw these trees I knew they would be perfect as they are simply but effective (check out my rosette tutorial if you haven't got the required die), the example above is from Tim Holtz and full details can be found on his blog. The photographs below are my versions.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas
