Handmade Christmas Tree Decorations

Trish Seddon from Te Awamutu Museum

Handmade Christmas tree decorations can evoke memories of the special people who may have handcrafted them, even when they are no longer around.
We will use fabric scraps, recycled calendars and cards, buttons, as well as adding glittery sequins and beads for that extra bling.

Poll: Do you think this is probably the reason?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Work changes, divorces and other life events are probably behind many of Waikato’s loss-making house sales, a realtor says.

Recent figures revealed more than 10% properties resold in Hamilton and Waikato District went for less than what the sellers had paid.

Do you think this is probably the reason? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
