Some of My Favorite Things

Here's my tree all dressed up with those ornaments we made last weekend. Awww, don't you just love gingerbread men and Christmas stars? I love it all lit up at night. Now if we just had a fireplace (and had enough cold weather to use it).

Here are two ornaments that my friend, Christine, got for me several years ago and man does she know what I like. Thanks girl! :)

Christmas Van Gogh?

We have had a crafty day here at the Thompson home and we are loving every minute of it! Here the girls are painting some wooden figures that their grandma got for them. I have a couple of Van Gogh's here...without the epilepsy and suicidality, of course. :)

Getting In the Spirit

Yes folks, it is that time of the year. The time where we start thinking about what crafts we can make for friends and family for Christmas that will also give us a lot of joy making! This year we are making those wonderful cinnamon gingerbread men ornaments. When they are drying they make the house smell so yummy and homey...mmmmm. Here the girls are painting what looks like icing on the little guys. Weeks of fun ahead for us!
