It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....
(Cami posted a question below and made a poll at the right... don't forget to vote on our poll and leave a comment letting us know what Christmas projects you're working on.)
When we moved to St. George I had the feeling I would get roped into helping with the Jubilee of Trees. You see, my mother-in-law, Rosalie Scholes, is the Director of Facility Decor. Which means, she is in charge of.....
.... all decorations and set up for the Jubilee.... from Banners.....
... to presents in the foyer....
.... to a giant castle that greets you as you walk in...
....to walls that separate all of the booths...
.... and the details....
... there are a lot of details... I was feeling kind of guilty that we hadn't helped much. So, the last week before I asked, "what can we do to help." She said, "well, I'm having someone paint these banners and I just need some help outlining them in black marker." So, I headed off to a cold, empty warehouse (the staging area) to help. Little did I know.... I made the mistake of saying, "I can do that." So, I helped with the banners. I actually painted some of the banners. They hang from the ceiling to tell you know where each booth is. It was actually kind of fun and fun to walk through the Jubilee and see that I had done something to help.

And last, but not least is my mother-in-law's tree. She has decorated a tree for 23 years. She has won people's choice many times. She is awesome at what she does! This picture doesn't do it justice!
The Jubilee ends tomorrow (Monday, Nov. 22nd.) So, if you live in St. George and have the time... stop by and see for yourself. -Anisa

I didn't know you lived in St. George! One of our fave places. We lived there for many many years before moving north (to Logan.). My hubs is from there so it really is a second home for us. Thanks for the pics...I miss the Jubilee of Trees!
I didn't know you lived there either! We just went last night and they were charing $10 instead of $3 because of a band? I was really surprised at that, and none of us could shell that out for our families. I usually love to go, though! My sister did the Twilight Tree last year, it was awesome!
This is amazing to see!
Yes, dang it, Anisa lives far, far away in St. George now.
Nice designs..how can I do it on my own?
