I love, love, love to make handmade Christmas tree ornaments. I've been making them every year for as long as I can remember. My favorite time of the year to make them, prior to homesteading, was during the summer months. I'd take my supplies outside and watch the kids play in their small pool. Now that I garden in the summer, I have to adjust my time.
These are just a few of my handmade Christmas ornaments, but wanted to share a few. Each one brings back memories of when and where we lived when I made them.

Wear it out,
Make it do,
Or go without."

Friday Tidbits
I'm busy working on a few handmade Christmas presents, working on an order from my "store" and ................
finally getting back on the treadmill for daily exercise! Yay!
I added a new moon photo to my flickr page.
We've had some very sunny days after all the rain we got, but rain is in the forecast for Sunday.
The kids left me a note this morning (on the computer screen): 1. Go to google. 2. Type in "Do a barrel roll" 3. Wait for it.
Go ahead and try it. I did. It's funny what entertains kids these days.
The kids are baking and painting salt dough Christmas ornaments. Cheap, easy, and fun entertainment.
I had a chuckle the other day with my youngest daughter. I said "go get a cleaning apron on and get to cleaning." She responded, "who wears aprons anymore?"
So, when she got home from school, I not only kept my "cleaning apron" on, but stood outside the front door when her school bus stopped, so not only she could see, but the entire bus of kids. Ha ha ha ha! It's just an old 1/2 apron I bought at a thrift store, but it works. And she thought you only wear an apron to cook.
Have a great Friday today!
