Christmas tree festival

DD and I went to the Christmas tree festival this afternoon, 44 trees alll the same size, decorated by local organisations in Beccles, which is a little town near us, where the kids go to school and cadets. 15 were decorated by children's organisations and the rest cover all sorts from the Red Hat society, Tesco, Christian Aid to individuals from the church. It's always a lovely thing to do and even the BH's among us would enjoy the handmade items if nothing else.
I'll have to try and find out who the winners were.

This was one of the children's trees with their pics and angel bodies, the leaders had sheep bodies, it was cute and funny.

Beaded angels, I thought, I know someone who could knock these up sharpish, they were pretty.

By the cubs entitled 'Best of British'with a topical pick of the young newly engaged royals.

This was a good local one, In Norfolk/Suffolk ladybirds are called bishy bishy barny bees (don't ask, there is a rhyme) a local village is called Barnby, pronounced Barnaby by some, so this was their playgroup's.

One of the children's groups entries with gingerbread, yum, there was a gingerbread house at the foot of the tree too.

This was our youth club's entry which I voted for, it was nice and saved me dithering for ages over which one to choose, they made all the cupcakes with felt and papercases.

Not sure you can see this well enough, but it had fabric decos made by the local sewing shop, very well made and beautiful fabrics.

Some lovely trees there, a lovely idea. I love things like this.

the last four pictures say theyhave been moved or deleted, so can't see them.

Great photos and great trees. Some people have the best imagination. I love the gingerbread one, but I would cos I make one most years.

Fab pics! The church at the end of our road had a tree festival last year; my favourite was 'Little Donkey', inspired by the Carol; the tree was covered in carrots!

They're all great, Karelyn. A strange tradition methinks, but horses for courses, lol. They do look good though and yes, I like the Poultree one too, lol.

i look forward to seeing this every year karelyn ,would love to go to one locally . must see if there is one . not got a fave , cupcake is pretty though and ouch to the poor bird at the top of that tree

Some clever ideas there. Like the Poultree one and the reindeers with the hands as antlers.

Fabulous ideas and fabulous trees.

Sorry about the deletioins, I tried to put them in an album after I'd put them up here and that caused chaos, should have done it first.

I love the peg dolls, and I have made the beaded angels,lol.

OUr Christmas wreath display will start on Thursday when the market opens.
