When I first got married, my perfect Christmas tree held matchy matchy ornaments, white lights, everything placed just so.
Over the years those matchy matchy ornaments were packed/ given/ thrown away, to be replaced with much more meaningful ones...

simple wooden ornament coloured by one of the kids

I made wooden stars wth popsicle sticks
There are many more ornaments, some handmade, some bought with loving thoughts...
Darryl's mom has helped our collection by adding one ornament for every person each year!
So, no more matchy ornaments, no white lights -- all colour, all loving memories... with more to be added every year!
How did you make the gingerbread ornament?
