Sooooo, my digi-cam was hella MIA and I did not get to take pics of the table. When it was found there was not much to take a picture of, which definitely is a good sign.
Also, I'd seen a wish tree in a foreign flick. When me and sis were in Pasadena one day going to Laemelle's, I saw all these wish trees and was excited; we contributed by adding our wishes to one of the trees. Come to find out it's a Yoko Ono project. I was inspired by that and decided to create one for the party. This one would not only be a wish but also a thank tree.
