Fresh Cut Tree

 Welcome to my blog, I can't believe it's only 4 days until Christmas and I only have 24 hours in a day.  That's why I'm late posting my card.

Merry Christmas from a very summery New Zealand to all my fellow Design Team members and blogging friends where ever you are in the world.

This flowering tree is the New Zealand PohutukawaTree

we call it our New Zealand Christmas tree as it flowers at Christmas time and they are mostly on our shorelines and beaches. 

The week over at
