I got a note to go to the PO to pick up a box a few days ago. I went down and the Tree had arrived!! I got time today to unpack the Tree (Great box Adrian!) and then to set it up as the centerpiece in my display cabinet. It is a great honor to be able to display this Tree that so many of you have participated in and that Adrian so painstakingly put together. I was floored when I heard about this. I do not feel worthy of such a great honor! I would like to Thank each and every one of you and also a special Thanks to Amber and Adrian for this great honor and privilege. Here are pictures of it in the display cabinet. First with a flash..... and without a flash....... There was also this great big chocolate bar in the box, yum yum!! I put a roll of electrical tape next to it for size comparison. Again, a BIG THANK YOU to everyone involved!! Tony

WOW, Tony! So glad to see the tree arrived safely! I think all the members who contributed in making that tree, should be proud watching at the tree having the stage on the top shelf of your cabinet. At least, I feel this way. Amber, you should be the most proud! And Tony, you should feel worthy, but probably feeling not worthy is part of what makes you worthy. I also like that pet wood in the left of the tree, it looks pretty familliar to me Adrian

You placed that tree in the perfect spot. It looks like it always belonged there and it is nice to see that it is settled in.

Ahhh, the tree is home! It looks like it belongs there! This was a great project and it involved a lot of great people here! You deserve it Tony and Amber knew it. (She is so smart sometimes !) Way to go Amber! Fran

Tony that is awesome. The tree and its history, from its creation to arrival at your house, is a remarkable story. Congrats! Barb

Tony: I am so glad it arrived safely and that you love it! I knew that tree belonged to you, and seeing it in its resting place confirms that! You do so much for the members on here! I hope you will enjoy it and thanks for waiting, and allowing me the opportunity to see it in person! Amber

Hey, but maybe you took into account all the sub-steps envolved: "grab the screw-drive"; "fit it into the bolt's head" "rotate" ... and so on. ;D Adrian
