make it yours

My name is Cathi, and I’m a non-recovering Christmas tree-aholic.

This time of year I spend most of my days placing Christmas trees of all sizes around the house, each of them decorated according to a well-chosen theme. The tree above is my actual family tree, created from the boxes and boxes of family photos languishing in the corners of closets. As a rescue mission, I photocopied my favorites, turned them into ornaments and wrote the who, what, when and where on the back.

It’s a simple, sentimental craft that brings all my family, both past and present, together for the holidays.
