Decking the Halls!

  



Since this is the first year in our house, I have been trying to start some new traditions that we do each year, but also have something to look back on from years past.  When I was shopping with one of my friends I found these clear glass ornaments in various sizes and thought this would be the perfect tradition to start!  So I snatched up several boxes of the ornaments, a few paint pens (in my Christmas color scheme for the year), and got busy!  It was so fun sitting around the dining room table and each of us decorating these ornaments with what we wanted to remember from this year!  I even drew designs on a few of them just to add a little personal spunk to our Christmas tree!  This was so much fun, and it gave everyone an opportunity to release some creative energy, and the tree looks great!  

Oh...another cool thing, is that the tops of the ornaments pop off so you can fill them with what ever you like and then pop it back on.  I bought some sequins and filled them up and also used tensil in some of them, but you could use candy, pictures, or anything you wanted!
Cheers,
