OH CHRISTMAS TREE ~ CSI #186

Good morning , I hope everyone had a lovey Christmas and here's to a Happy , Healthy New Year.
Today I would like to share a layout for the challenge at CSI 


and this is my take


Oh Christmas tree


Evidence ~ Stars , ribbon, hanging ornament , wood 
Testimony    ~ I have journalled on a tag and tucked in the side of the photo.
The journalling says ~ The putting up of our Christmas Tree is a special family tradition. We come together as a family , share a meal and then put the tree up together. Our tree is not colour coordinated , or have perfectly placed ornaments, but decorations from when the children were at Pre school, the colouring in is very faded now and there are hand made Santa's with missing legs. We also each have a bauble with our name on it that we place on the tree , and we have a baubles that we put on the tree for family no longer with us. A essential is to play carols whilst putting the tree up . 
Thank you for calling by 

Love, Peace and Kindness

This is a really lovely page....those rhinestone elements make it shine. Gorgeous take on the challenge. One day [yeah, sure!!!!] I WILL get back to doing CSI.....just doesn't seem I'm getting much done atm. Slushing through mud sorta. I'm sure it'll come. I'm not too worried! But go you, you're doing fabulous:):)
