I got a response from Kathryn and we are going to work out a time when I can meet her at their storage unit and see what they have that I can use. She said we would be able to work out a good price for what I want. So that is good news.

I’m taking a few minutes tonight to think through the supplies that I know I will need for this project:

• caulk (clear)
• liquid nails 
• green paint (check what I have)
• Styrofoam
• hot glue sticks
• white Christmas tree lights
• turn table (if I can find one cheap)
• green candy for pine needles – maybe green licorice pastilles like the ones here: Green-Licorice-Pastilles
• candy for lights – gum drops or other gummy candy
• miscellaneous candy to create all the fun ornaments
• round candy – maybe gum balls for ornaments
• candy for quilted tree skirt – maybe tart n’ tiny
• candy for garland (optional)
• candy for covering presents under the tree (one partly unwrapped)

That is all I can think of right now. I’ll add to it as more things come to me. I want to make a final decision on what green candy to use for the tree. But it might be best to see what Kathryn has before I actually order anything. Most of the rest of the candy I can probably get locally because the amount of any one candy won’t be that much.
