Speaking of holidays, us southern-hemisphere folk are now in our summer holidays (who needs snow for Christmas?). All the kids hanging around home, and the main tune they sing is "I'm BORED!"...

However, your 100 ideas has come to the rescue! I printed them out, got my son to cut them up and put them in a jar, and now when the regular tune exits his mouth I simply point him in the direction of your ideas.

You have my endless thanks!!!!!! :)

Makes a fantastic office decoration or party hat -THANKS KERI!!!

I printed out your tree yesterday and my three year old and I will be decorating it today. It's our special project while his older siblings are at school and baby sister is napping. it's such an adorable tree, I'm excited to make it with him. thank you!

Love this entry.
Love the one before.
Can't wait to read the next one.

Thanks for the snow. It's summer and stinking hot here in Australia right now, and this snow doesn't melt. Perfect. :o)

You are cracking me up! I love these!

you're so awesome Keri! there's snow here in toronto (not much but the ground is dusty white). i like your snow better though.....it will always be white (no dog pee or slush). hoorah!

ooooh, I'm so hoping my kids go for this tree. I'm dreading putting up the big one for both space and 9 month old crawling baby issues. This tree is perfect for me...now if I can just sell the kids on it. hmmm...maybe if I compromise and let them color the ornaments......

I love you for the snow.

So much fun! The snow is an especially nice here in Texas where it was (gasp!) 83 deg today. I'm curious, though -- what is particularly Christmasy about Mennonites?

Lovely! Your blog is a true delight and I'd love to send you some treats. Email me a po box and I'll send fun...
best!

Thank you so much! I was wondering what to put on the mantle this year. It'll be fun to do this with my 4yo son! Print print print print...

Hey! That Christmas tree is brilliant, I'm going to print it to an A2 sheet when I get back in the office on Monday. Perfect.

Your newest fan,

I love this. I miss more of this kind of stuff on your blog. The paper doll's and playful idea's. They make me happy. I'm glad to see your imagination's still alive and kicking!

the snow is brilliant! Love the idea of a desktop tree.

Hi Keri,

Although we have the snow here in New England I am, too, feeling a distinct sense of displacement this Christmas. My husband and I have been living in a room at a friend's house for the last two months and we won't be able to spend Christmas at our home this year. Living in this "monster house" is quite a challenge and there won't be any decorations unless you count the monsters!

Your tree brings us wonderful delight and reminded me of being a kid again, cutting out and coloring shapes which I always loved. You can see an image of it here.

Thank you and Merry Christmas :)

Hi there, I just HAD to tell you how much fun my children had (and me too!) making this tree..it really got us into the holiday spirit.
Thanks so much.:)

Long-time reader but, I think, first-time commenter. Your gorgeous little Christmas tree could not go unthanked! That is so cute--gorgeousness on paper. Now I want to think of something I can do for my blog readers for Christmas!

:o)

Oh! I can't wait to try this--I'll photograph the results.

Thanks so much for sharing! If we have a nice Missouri winter, we'll send some snow out your way.

I miss the snow too, and I absolutely love the instant snow. Thank you! The tree made me grin THIS BIG. :)

You just have no idea how utterly and completely you have made my day with these. Particularly the snow. I love the snow.

Bless your heart...

:-)

These are too great!

What fun! The tree is glued and waiting for its decorations (although I couldn't resist doing the santa hat topper straight away and it added a little cotton ball tip)!

Thanks again!!

this is awesome =)
and i wish i had a decent printer, hihi.

You are too cool! That just made my day! I love it!

thank you for this...i too feel weird being in california in the winter; originally from snowy, cold wisconsin....can't wait to cut out the snow!

It’s true that I’m procrastinating and that anything is a welcome distraction this morning, but the tree is now glued and sitting on the table with all of the work I’m supposed to be doing and I can’t stop grinning at it. For some reason it’s making me really happy, so thank you!
