This year I pulled out and decided to make it special by displaying it on the desk in my newly-renovated (it used to be a computer/workout room) yet-to-be-named art-music-poetry studio. Soon it came to me: make a WORD tree!
First, I used miniature cookie cutters and wrote in each a word from my One Little Word collection. ("Wild" for 2015 was my 8th OLW!)
Here are a few:
 |
| 2015 OLW |
 |
| 2012 OLW |
 |
| 2010 OLW |
Then I added some favorite fortunes saved from fortune cookies (anyone else collect these? I have a stash of my favorites) -- and a message or two from Dove dark chocolate wrappers. (Yes, I also collect these. I'm a word-hoarder, apparently! :)
... and that's as far as I've gotten! I hope to add more as it comes to me, and over the years. Fun!
I love your word tree! You've sparked a new Christmas tree tradition. Now I have a way to use all my Dove wrappers that used to be on my bulletin board at school! And I could also us some of my favorite calendar quotes I've saved over the years. Love this idea.
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful thing to have, this 'word tree', Irene. Love that you've found ways to use those savory and sweet collections.
