♫♫CHRISTMAS TREE, O' CHRISTMAS TREE...♫♫

Good Morning Sweet Bloggers!! The season is upon us and I marvel at how fast the days go by!  My little tree has ornament overload because I cannot leave any little sentimental ornament in the box! Ha!

My Mom, my Bill, cousins and friends as well as my grown children have contributed through the years.  My favorite is the Madonna of the Poor ornament by far...
 
 The Milkweed pod ornament was made when my children were little and it has survived many Christmases.
The little Moon Santa below is one of our own creations.  I would draw a pattern, Bill would cut it out and then I would paint it.  I have several that are very large for wall deco.

Although this is a little blurry, it is also one of my favorites, my original Santa face painted on a light bulb that is shaped like a flame.  I covered the threaded part with a bit of red plaid fabric for his hat.
 
This one is one I drew and then Bill had cut out of roof flashing metal!  Love it!  I miss my Bill so much and it was hard decorating without him.  So many memories!
 
And Last but not Least, a photo from outside when done.  It is only a 3 ft. tree but I hung just as many ornaments on it as if it were a large floor tree-ha!
 
And here is my little Lilly in her new doggy Christmas neckerchief that my cousin sent in the mail today.  Love it!
 
Thank you so much for stopping by and do check out the other Pink Saturday posts to see what others are sharing at Beverly's How Sweet the Sound! 
My heart to yours...

Christmas at Our House...










































All of the images are of our original woodwork or craft work.  As you can see the little Santa with Rudolf and sleigh is very tiny as is the graduated sizes of Reindeer from tree to tree that Bill has cut out on the scrollsaw.  None of these decorations are new.  They are all ones we have had through the years.  The beautiful Angel is actually a tree topper for our large tree that we did not put up this year but is none the less beautiful by herself on the table.  I am featuring the fabric nativity figures again so that you can see more detail.  The wooden candle with the flame is one of my favorites that Bill made from a purchased pattern.

Please visit my Kerrie's Kraft 3 site @ http://kerrieskrafts3.blogspot.com/ to see the post for today of a beautiful and fun Advent calendar for you to make and also directions for a fun candy wreath you can make on a coat hanger.  Pattern for the calendar is included and can be printed out.
Thanks for looking and do come again and again!

This a pic of our "Grand-Dog", Captain Button who would rather be camping than in the cold weather-ha!
