The lights are on and some pearl and gold garland. Next are some plain colored balls. Then I take and add all the other decorations I have collected over the years. Most of the decorations went with my son and daughter when they left home and got married. I had been buying decorations for them each year. They would pick out the one they wanted and then as they got older I would buy one that I thought represented something that happened that year.
Today I decorated our tree. Yesterday I went out and bought an artificial tree. I am getting kind of cheap....you know..buying a real tree every year and throwing it out in 3 weeks. Getting harder to throw that money away. I know it isn't the same but at least it will be the same tree year after year. If I decide to buy a real one some year that will be o.k but this year here it is.
This gold ball is one that my son made by gluing on red holly berries. Some have fallen off but it is still precious to me.
This fan my kids made. We used to make tons of them but somewhere most have disappeared. The teddy bear my daughter sewed when she was about 6 years old. The beaded candle was made by one of my kids , cant remember which one but it goes on my tree. The sad little snowman ornament I painted and gave him a little hat when I was still painting and selling at craft sales. Maybe I will get back into it again.
