Trees...

Late this summer I watched my neighbor's house and kept his garden and pots watered for 3 weeks - easy "duty", for sure. So, I was overwhelmed when he came over with a gallon container of pure maple syrup made in Canada where they had been visiting. I wanted to make a nice thank you note and thought this tree would be perfect. My folks actually make maple syrup themselves in upper Wisconsin and I know it's hard, hard work to just get a gallon of "finished" syrup and that's why it's so expensive!

Card Materials: all papers and stamps from The Angel Company

Stamps: Good Timber

Accessories: Amelia Soar with it Collection and cardstock, buttons, brown scrapper floss, nestabilities

Sorry for the dark photo - it's really a dreary day. My kids are home for the holiday but it's not the type of day to do anything outside; so, we're just vegetating!

Edit: Patti J. - you were right to question a gallon! I just looked again and as it's Canadian, the measure is one Liter - but still quite a lot of syrup. Especially since (brace yourself!) my husband and son prefer the store bought "fake" stuff! ugh...

I had meant to include this photo from Oktoberfest of a man dressed up as a tree - which really puzzled my little niece and nephew!

hence the title of my post, Trees!
