Well what can I say about this project from Angela - I do believe my first words were "Holy Guacamole - WOW!" Angela made the tree herself and explains how in her post - she 'found' a skewer to hold the tree together and another 'find' was the box lid she created her scene in. If you want to check out more of Angela's amazing work you can check out her blog HERE.
