Winterfest

For as long as I remember, my family goes to the Winterfest in downtown Cleveland the saturday after Thanksgiving.  Although every year is lacking something else, I was surprised this year, because there was more to do than usual. They had this awesome area where crafters from Cleveland were all set up with their displays of the different things they did.

I hot glued the ornament in a circle them put the snowflakes in a triangular shape.  This is my finished tree topper =)
A little view of my set up , I really want to get a second smaller colored tree to off set my more traditional one.
