We started out with an unsharpened pencil (or something of the like) and my group traded up until we came away with this tree. If it isn't this one, then it's kicking around Malmo somewhere. I distinctly remember traveling back to the church with three girls in the back seat of a tiny car and a fully assembled christmas tree in our laps. You may wonder, did we win the game? Well I should think so...kristina blackwoodhttp://Websitenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3520413.post-19243437479634330582009-11-24T11:25:51.000-07:002009-11-24T11:25:51.000-07:00Seems that's how its done here in the field.No...Seems that's how its done here in the field.<br><br>No, there is NO room to store the thing on the main floor, so they store it up in the balcony, put together.<br><br>Course our having a fake tree here in this place is making some of our worship designers crazy.<br><br>:)<br><br>But it was a fun thing to do at 7:15 am.Randallhttp://randallfriesen.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3520413.post-11207368981197094712009-11-24T02:34:41.000-07:002009-11-24T02:34:41.000-07:00I am honestly trying to figure out the logistics f...I am honestly trying to figure out the logistics for this worthy action.
