    she looks like she is bursting at the seams with pride. I love seeing children like that. How much happier could they be? the tree looks almost like mine. I solved the ornament issue on the bottom. I put plastic ones that look like glass balls so if the cats get them which they do.. they wont break. And we tie the tree to the wall with cord at the top so no one is taking it down. My four cats think the tree is the best gift we could have given them. they sleep under it, race under it, bat the ornaments.. its a 8.5 foot toy. We used fishing line when the kids were small to hold it up just incase someone hung on and well flopped over. Three kids not one took it down. I hope you send her a tiny bit of novelty fabric so she can make something else for her dolly.

    My sister-in-law put her tree in a playpan for years--between little kids and cats, it was much safer. BTW this was back when playpens weren't old fashioned--they were the norm.

    Adorable...brings back memories for sure! Your DGD is so cute and a real seamstress in the making! I sewed with my DGM at that age and my DGD and DGS are sewing with me now! (they are 7 and 9) My empty branches now are a result of my 5 yr old cat! He thinks they are there for him to bat! Gotta love him!

    It is so pretty. She looks so very proud of it. I sure understand the tree, my DGD is two and a half now but we sure had a time last year.
