SENIOR LADY; MOTHER'S DAY ORNAMENT TREE!

-










I seem to be obsessed with my mini purple tree.

I purchased it during the Easter season.

This store had these mini trees in three colors:

pink, yellow, purple

Purple is my fave color, so I only grabbed one

purple tree. I regret not getting two or three 

of these mini trees. The store no longer has

 them in stock.   I used my purple tree for 

Easter and added mini Easter ornaments 

on it. I suddenly realized that I could use

 the mini tree for other occasions. 


I have been reviewing online catalogs

and videos. I needed to get ideas on 

ways to use my mini purple tree. My

 goal was to get ideas for Mother's day 

gifts. My Mom has four grown children. 

She's received so many gifts for Mother's 

Day in the past. I'm trying to avoid giving

her the same old gifts.  I finally got a great 

idea for using the mini purple tree. Here is 

the details for my Mother's Day project:


MOTHER'S DAY ORNAMENT TREE

NOTE: REVIEW INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE

STARTING PROJECT. THEY ARE WRITTEN

IF NO PRINTER IS USED.


NEED:


12 inch Mini Faux Tabletop Tree:

Purple/Lilac 

9 inch x 12 inch Construction Paper:

(1)Pink, (1)Red, (1)Purple 

8 inch x 10 inch Writing Tablet:

3 1\2 inch Angel Wing  with Heart Template:

1/8 inch x 7 inch Ribbons:

(1) Pink, (1) Red, (1) Purple 



TOOLS:

Black fine print marker 

Scissors

Ruler

Glue Gun with Glue Sticks




 INSTRUCTIONS:


Note: I don't have printer. My templates

are hand drawn.

Cut out templates. Need 2 Angel Wings, 

each: pink, red & purple.

Need 6 white hearts 

Note: Make extra Angel wings & hearts

if you want ornaments all over tree. 


















































































































































Glue white heart in center of each Angel wing.

Use fine print marker to write name of each 

child or family member on white heart.

























Use ribbons to make hanger for each

ornament. Glue hanger to back of each

ornament in center area. Ornaments 

are ready to be hung on the tree. I used

purple dinner napkin for tree skirt. My

topper is left over white ribbon.


























































This Mother's Day ornament tree looks

great. My Mom saw the finished tree.

She grabbed it and placed it on the 

dining room table. I had added parents

and family member's names to the 

tree. Mom only has four children. 

Of course, the ornament tree needed 

more than four ornaments!




TIPS:


** Any color or style table top faux mini tree

can be used. Just use matching ornaments.


** Use printer to  make the angel wings and 

hearts if available.


**The angel wings & hearts can be enhanced

 with Modge Podge Gloss or Acrylic Gloss Sealer.


** Mini star, heart, or angel can also be used as 

tree topper. I recycled left over supplies.

THE JEAN SCENE 4 WOMEN!

I love wearing jeans. They are  more enjoyable when they fit well. They flatter your figure. I am very envious when I see  a classy senior lady looking good in her denim outfit. I  have seen that crisp white  shirt, flattering jeans and a nice pair of boots. I was inspired to put more effort  into my attire after I saw a jeans show on Rachel Ray show.  Her guest explained that you have to find the correct jeans for your  body type.  I know they make  skinny jeans to fit every woman, but I must pass on this style. I have seen some denim styles that  I have tried to copy. They are classy and flattering. Here are some of the styles:

SENIOR WOMEN CAN WEAR PONYTAILS

Ah, the Sixties, when the ponytail was a style that all of us wore often.The ponytail has been updated and revamped many times. One thing for sure this style will always be around.  It is versatile and can used to look classy for evening out or casual on a "Bad Hair Day".   The question for the senior lady is when style of ponytail is appropriate.  We do not want to look like a young girl or a teenager. I have seen older women that wear ponytails on every occasion. I would hate to see a senior lady at a funeral or a black tie affair with a messy ponytail held by a rubber band! Some styles of ponys are meant to be casual.  Here are some ponys that look  alright for a classy senior lady:      HOW TO STYLE PONYTAIL OVER 50 PONYTAIL FOR RECEDING HAIR

RAINWATER MAKES IT GROW!

I have been gardening for over 20 years. I'll admit I learned some secrets through trial and error. My neighbor had a large garden in his backyard. Some years he had a very good yield. He would muddle over why his yield each year wasn't  consistent. I finally figured out why his yield  was inconsistent. God's rainwater had to be plentiful in order for me to have a great yield  in my flower and vegetable garden. My yield was poor when there was a summer drought. No amount of city water from my garden  hose improved my yield. Organic soil and organic fertilizer didn't guarantee that I would have a bounty of flowers and vegetables. The combination of lots of  rain water, organic soil and organic  fertilizer boosted my yield. My state hasn't experienced a  drought  this summer. As a  matter of fact, we've  had  several bouts of flooding.  I had to  drain excessive water from some of  the  containers in my garden. I a...
