The Sand Dollar Chrissymas Tree

This year's Chrissymas Open House was a come and decorate our tree with sand dollars that we brought home from The Bahamas. The sand dollars had all been carefully wrapped in bubble wrap and placed in margarine containers and parmesan jars for their flight home last spring as tree ornaments. Interestingly enough the sand dollars have a Christmas theme if you read the above post card.

Mrs. Claus shows off her goodies before the guests arrive.

Everyone enjoys the special treats of the season.

Good friends made the Open House another great party.

We put the finishing touches on the tree after the party.

Our tree looks stunning don't you think? It is hard to imagine that all of the sand dollars were once living sea creatures?

These are some of the special orgaments on our tree representing places we have travelled. Can you guess the destinations?

The season would not be complete without the gum drop tree.
