Pinecones Rule

How it all started....

As for my love of pinecones, and all things natural, it seems to have started a long time ago on the school playground in 3rd grade. I loved to play Jacks. One day I forgot them at home, so I looked around for something I could use as a replacement. I found a nearby Hemlock tree and saw the little cones on them. All were uniform in size, so I picked what I needed. We all played with them and it worked out well. I then found myself fascinated with this pretty little brown 'flowers'. I picked a bunch and stashed them in my pocket and brought them home.

My folks brought my brother and myself on camping trips. My Mom wasn't crazy about it, but she still cooked meals and took terrific care of us! My Daddy loved it as much as we did! He gave my brother and I the gift of loving the outdoors and respect for Nature. We all had many wonderful and funny times! I was forever looking in the woods for neat looking plants, pods acorns, pinecones and nature stuff.  I would always have pockets full of pinecones, pods and other dried goodies by the time I got back to the campsite. I loved finding different nature's treasures and bringing them home to add to my growing collection.

As I got older, I found myself hiking all over with my friends. I always brought home a LOT of pine cones and pods. The outdoors is such an exhilarating place! As my collection of cones and pods grew, I seriously started crafting with them. My Mom has always been a great crafter. She had the patience to sit and teach us when we were young. Mom has made so many wonderful things over the years.

I came up with all sorts of ornaments, decorations and wreaths made entirely with different types and sizes of cones & pods. Turns out my handcrafted goodies are always welcomed gifts. I started getting many requests for them for baby showers, weddings, christmas and holiday ornaments. So I crafted whenever I had the time. The Pinecones seemed to take on designs of their own. I still get excited when I find goodies when I hike! {And that is all the time!}
I discovered Letterboxing and Geocaching which puts a fun spin on hiking! You gotta try it!

I have lived all over the United States, and am amazed at just how diverse the wildlife is! We all must do whatever it takes to preserve our Environment and our Wildlife. The elite act as if they destroy the earth, we have somewhere else to go!!!
