Recently Megan asked me if I could help her make a fabric garland for her tree like the one I always put in mine. Today was the day and boy did we tackle it. I had a lot of fabric scraps to donate to the cause and we went to Joann's where she purchased some Christmas prints to add. I happened to overhear her talking with the lady at the cutting counter, and when she asked her what she was making, Megan told her that she was making a fabric garland for her tree---That there had always been one on her tree as she was growing up, and she wanted one for her own tree. It made me feel so good to know that there was this little thing from her childhood Christmases that she liked and wanted to carry on. I always did popcorn chains when the kids were young as well, and they ALWAYS complained about having to string the popcorn! Megan says she's not putting popcorn chains on her tree until she has kids that can do the stringing for her. Ahhh---Another tradition continues. Tracy hated it so much that I don't think I'll ever see popcorn chains on her tree. I must add here though, that I DID do much of the stringing myself---I just made them help.
Anyway---I snapped this picture of Megan while we were hard at work. It took us all day, but she now has a very long garland for her tree. There were still plenty of fabric scraps left when she was finished and I DID NOT want to store them up for some possible future project, so I just kept on working until I had used them up. Now I have another quite long fabric garland completed.
