Good morning. Helped Jaymes cousin with a school Christmas project last night. They were given an outline of a Christmas tree and they had to decorate it so that there was no white paper showing through at all. The catch was they couldn't use crayons, markers, or colored pencils to do it. One of the examples on the instructions was a kid used shingles for his tree, so it kinda gave an idea of what they were looking for. So without further adieu, I wish you all a merry Twinsmas!

Before the lights-

Looking at it now, I wish I would have spaced the lights better. With the way the wire was, I ended up just wrapping the string all the way around the tree. At the time, I didn't realize the lights in each row lined up with the one from the row above it.

Great Job on the project! Probably the only baseball card Christmas tree turned in.

Thanks guys! When I mentioned the Twins cards to him he loved the idea. The bark on the bottom for the truck was his idea. I got the LED lights at TJ Maxx over the weekend. After we got them we found the same lights only multicolored, but I was too lazy to return the white ones. And in case you are wondering how Escobar made it to the top of the tree, that's actually his favorite player. For some reason he just latched on to him while he watched a game with me.
