Garlands work well for me. I loved your comment about imagining sitting making them and chatting, I too have romantic dreams of how we'll all do crafty things together. Sometimes it works out and others it goes pear shaped (more often the latter). Hope yours works out.<br /><br />Merry Christmas to you and your family.<br />Lisa XBobo Bunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14564557200579080645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5117737617668210212.post-10568477043766920572013-12-21T15:37:36.307+00:002013-12-21T15:37:36.307+00:00I just love this idea.

Have promised myself to start again this holiday. Such a simple pleasure to watch birds in the garden. Yesterday watched a thrush and a blackbird having a standoff over the berries on our cotoneaster. Didn't know that you could use popcorn - good idea.Eleanor Fergusonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04992824265499784461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5117737617668210212.post-51965224507593347952013-12-18T07:56:50.650+00:002013-12-18T07:56:50.650+00:00This looks lovely!

With a dog who forgets we feed him and is always scrounging for his next snack, I can't put edible things on my tree. I really want to hang gingerbread men from the tree one year too, but no. I feed the birds too. I buy bags of seeds about every two weeks and just load up the feeder and scatter the seeds under the bushes near the house. When it's really cold, which it has been this past couple of weeks (-20/-10C), the birds stay low and in the evergreens, so that's where I scatter most of the seeds. It's nice to see them busy out there ;) Wendy xSeptember Violetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10931133319044031928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5117737617668210212.post-14649826454090320982013-12-17T20:39:40.827+00:002013-12-17T20:39:40.827+00:00I've never tried making popcorn garlands but I...I've never tried making popcorn garlands but I really want to.
