I think I'm going to do something different this year, I'm going to make a Christmas tree with 9 generations of my family as ornaments. I am going to do my surname family which also is my Loyalist tree so I already have a theme for it. If it turns out okay, maybe I'll do some more next year, a French-Canadian tree, an Irish tree and a Scottish tree which are my four main trees.
I am cutting out 85 disks from 1/4 " plywood with a hole-cutting attachment on my drill. After I cut the disks out and have the edges sanded, I will be painting them in shades of green to co-ordinate with my livingroom colour scheme. I am going to put the names of family members on them and photos of the ones that I have photos for.
I am going to drill a hole in each and hang each ornament with a ribbon from the different "branches" that they belong to. I am going to get started on the project today, I hope I'm done before Christmas!
