#22 little christmas tree

12 days of christmas

day 4

this is the christmas tree my boys have in their room.

the ornaments are collections of 

their favorite games, toys and tv shows through the years.

 thomas the tank engine, spongebob, phineas & ferb, 

nascar, ny yankees, ny giants, monster jam, baseball

club penguin, video games, super mario, angry bird
lego and painting

my kids and i tried to be creative in putting this together

• i screwed in a small hook on the thomas the train toy (wood)

• my son attached a string and lots of tape 

on a club penguin figurine

• we cut out an image from a toy box and attached it on a bauble,
when i accidentally dropped and broke dale jr's ornament

i'm still on the hunt for 

blue's clues and bob the builder ornaments.

 how about ornaments of their favorite book?

wish me luck.

#18 christmas decoration JOY

as always, i'm always looking for something different.

this is a simple and not expensive christmas decoration 

that you can make yourself

materials you can get at your local craft store 

and an ornament of your choice, 

i got mine from Hallmark

i cover areas not to be painted with plastic wrap

you can leave the color of the ball hook as it is, 

i spray painted mine with colonial red

attach sticker to spell out  the word JOY

attach the balls on a piece of wood with glue gun.

 quickly position the ball the way 

you want it to be - glue gun works fast.

got my ornament picture frame from Hallmark,

they have a lot of good stuff

faux snow Snow-Tex from craft store

to add dimension

apply with brush or stick and let it dry

nice and simple addition to my ledge

works well with the red and white 

christmas theme in the master's bedroom
