For several years we had homes with 2 story ceilings,
so, of course, we'd cut down the BIGGEST tree we
could find.  Wanting to fill these monster sized trees, I
looked to nature.  We had large pines in the yard, so I
collected all the "pretty" pinecones.  Scott laid down
some newspaper in the yard & spray painted them.  
Then I tied some string to the top.  It's been over 9
years, and they're still in good shape!  After so many
years, they've become a fond reminder of our earliest
Christmases together. Here are some past trees of
ours.
