Sandra, this is such a beautiful upcycled project! The base is gorgeous and I love the sentiments. The sparkly and pearly accents on the tree make it even more magical. :o) Gorgeous work as always, my dear friend! I am so thankful for you and hope you know how much you mean to so many! Have a happy night. :o)

Hugs and blessings,
Karen
