Mini-Tree Quest

After a very nice breakfast with the offspring (hubby is in Myrtle Beach golfing with some buds), church and umpire clinic drop-off, I headed out to find the proper sized wire frame for my mini-trees. First stop..Joanne's Crafts. They had a 30" frame which I thought was perfect. However, after having learned my lesson with the 24" frame, I sought out a ruler. Good thing I did, because the 30" frame still had 10" legs which only gave me a 20" tree...still too small. Joanne's didn't have 36" frames so I trekked over to AC Moore Crafts and was rewarded for my diligence. They had 36" frames (lots of them) and their legs were 10" (I'm noticing a pattern) which gave me 26" for lights...PERFECT! I got 11 and a bag of Good and Plenty for the road.
Once the evening responsiblities and the laundry were attended to, I sat down to watch the final round of The Masters and construct my mini-tree. These things take a lot of cable ties; I'm definitely going to need more. It took me about 2 hours to finish the tree, but you've got to remember I was watching golf and doing the laundry at the same time so it can probably be done faster, but I have until November so I think I'll be okay.
Anyway, it looks great! I may want to add one more set of lights, but for now I'm satisfied. Only 10 more to go....
