Favorite Ornaments!

As I was taking down the

Christmas tree, I was struck by all of the "FUN" ornaments we had on the tree this year. By "fun" I mean either made by the boys or selected by them for a variety of reasons. I saw this cute sketch at Inspired Blueprints and I knew as soon as I saw it I was going to photo those "fun" ornaments for the last page in JT's 2008 Scrapbook.

The ornaments date back to 1998 (Angel), 2001 (Little Green Christmas Tree), 2003 (Patrick from SpongeBob), 2006 (Orange Ornaments!) and 2 from 2008 that JT made this year at Betty's (Santa, Reindeer). JT had the most of any of us although I came in a close 2nd. Next year I'll have to photo my "fun" ornaments! Supplies: CTMH Evensong Paper, Stickease & CTMH December Word Puzzle Stamps.

Festival!

This was a FUN sketch I found on SCS for this week's Challenge. I liked the background because it was a great way to use up my Holiday scrappin' papers. I especially like the snowflakes I added. This is a picture of JT and me in Medina the day after Thanksgiving. It was really cold but he still wanted to get out of the house so we went downtown to see the festivities. It wasn't much. The Christmas tree in the park was pretty. We did ride the horse carriage around town and browsed in some of the shops. The best part was on the way home we stopped for DQ Ice Cream! Some moments just go better with ice cream and this was one of them! Supplies: Paper - CTMH Evensong, Stamps - CTMH Feathery Flakes, SU! Snowflakes
