Festival of Trees

 There is a huge expo center near South Jordan and my friend Katie loves going to the festival of trees every year. A couple of us went with her and it was a lot of fun. Most of the trees come with a story from Children's hospital. Some are real tear jerkers and you have to be careful about which stories you choose to read. These are just a few of the 700 we looked at...

RED SOLO CUP :)

 To help benefit the hospital, you can buy the trees and this was one that hadn't been purchased yet and I loved it so much I almost spent the $200 to buy it..it was for a good cause.

 Kind of a sad excuse for a steelers tree especially since whoever made it also made it a Bronco's tree! Who does that?!

This was definitely the story on the tree that made us tear up the most. A family was in Hawaii vacationing and one night their new son suffered from SIDS. When they woke up they found him dead. The Hawaiian people came together for a family they didn't know and did so much for the family at that hard time in their life.  The family who lost their made and decorated this tree in honor of the good people in Hawaii that helped them get through their hard time. I love the good people in the world!

 These are obviously not tress, but I do love this sign!

This was just for mom, as her next idea if she were to make me another quilt someday! I love love love the stars!
