Some might think it strange that the Mason Family perch a cricket dressed up in top hat and tails on the upper most point of their Christmas Tree. Not only that but the bug seems to be sporting some kind of pasta five pointed medallion around his neck. Well, to make a long story just a little shorter it involves a family of four moving far away (1500 miles away) from their nearest relative, a lonely Christmas season and an unexpected envelope arriving just before Christmas. The father decided to try and cheer everyone up by removing the angel from the top of the tree as she seemed to do nothing for the family's mood and replacing it with the stuffed bug. Not one person from the family knew where the bug came from and Mom at first was not too thrilled with the bug on the top of the tree however the children thought it was great fun. A tradition was born. Okay on to the pasta art....The youngest child who by no means is very interested in crafting, gluing or painting made this wonderful star in kindergarten back home before the great move. Kimbrely, the child brought it home and it always had a place of honor on the tree. The father of the family once again decided to play hide ' the ridiculous food art star' every year with eventually everyone joining in the game. This year there was no question, the pasta art was to share the place of honor with the bug.... The End!
My good friend, Eileen Hull is sponsoring a 'Noodle Art' contest on her blog. Strange story but a good one. Check it out at EileenHull.blogspot.com
Jiminey Crickets, that's a great project! Well done Kimbrely :-)
