A loved this email:

“Just had a real win – I priced some commercial ‘leaves’ for DIY scale trees – A$17.95 – Tooooo much. At the supermarket that afternoon I found dried parsley leaves in a packet for $A1.50. A quick spray with spray adhesive to some scale garden supplied tree armatures – dip it in the flakes, spray and dip again and bingo a beaut tree.

Well it is.
