Festival of Trees

It just wouldn't be Christmas without the Festival of Trees. I have been involved with Festival since I was 13 years old. I love going every year and seeing the the incredible work that goes into this great cause. It always puts me in the Christmas spirit. Yellow Bird Fabrics donated a sewing tree. It is decorated with all kinds of fun sewing notions. It comes with a vintage sewing machine, an adorable apron made by my adorable mother and a gift certificate to Yellow Bird. I hope you all take the opportunity to go to the Festival of Trees tomorrow. Tickets are only $5 and all of the proceeds go toPrimary Children's Medical Center.
