Birthday Tree
Here is a little birthday tree I made for a friend. You could use this concept for any special occasion.(It could easily be an “anniversary-tree” or a “having-a-bad-week-tree.” Basically, I decorated some Dogwood branches with sparkly flowers and ribbons and hung pretty treats in the branches. I really love party poppers but they are so darn ugly. Solution? Spray Paint them gold! I also put little presents and notes in the boxes for her to open each day. (Am I the only one who likes to drag out my birthday celebration?) If you did a group present you could ask everyone to bring something to hang from the tree (like a note or small present or candy.) And after all the hullabaloo is over it looks pretty just sitting there on its own.
I’ll post more detailed instructions later this week.

Jordan, this is an unexpected comment from someone you don't know, but is it true your toddler sleeps in a closet? don't worry, I'm not with child services, mine does, too. Turns out she might be staying there for a bit longer, and I'm worried about when she's old enough to get out of her crib. what did you do?! How do you keep him from getting into everything? I'd welcome any advice. roseanne.jones [at] gmail [dot] com (and don't sweat it if there's no time to reply)
a little embarrassed because I just found your post about the closet, which functions solely as a (very darling) bedroom. Wish me luck and lots of creative problem solving.

Oh lady you have just completely blown me away with your creativity. I'm inspired to try something similar for a friend's baby shower but I think I will make a wishing tree where everyone can hang a wish for the baby. I'm so excited. Now I need to find some pretty branches….
stunning. my birthday is in 2 weeks…might just make one for myself!
what a great idea…think I'll try it for fathers day!
this is the sweetest idea!
so pretty and creative!
cute! i did one kind of like this with all our old christmas cards.
Oh this is such a sweet idea! Will have to store it up for next year, all my friends' birthdays have been and gone for this year!
LOVE. Totally stealing this one
How creative and such a great idea. The tree is well decorated. I love it. Thanks for sharing this birthday tree.

I love this! It's so gorgeous and yet so simple. It's one of those "why didn't I think of that?" moments. You did it so well, as you do everything!
Oh my, this is just so whimsical and fun!
So lovely! Beautiful decoration too, I think it's also fun to make it.
My birthday is in January and I always wish we could keep the Christmas tree up for decoration. What a perfect 'transition tree' to beat the winter blues! Thanks!
Darling! And…tomorrow is MY birthday! I think I need a birthday tree! ~Heidi
How elegant and absolutely clever! I just love anything that has been created from the heart…would you mind if I shared this with my friends? I would love to point them in the right direction for clever ideas…cheers!
