Ornaments

For some reason I've been really into making ornaments this Christmas season. I seem to be getting new ideas everywhere I look. It hasn't really turned into a problem yet, because we've had stuff to make them all on hand. I've only had to buy a few pieces of felt for some owls I'm working on (a post about them will come pretty soon), and that only put me back about 60 cents. :) Anyway, I bought some ornaments tonight. We all went to the General Store before dinner and I got something that I looked at last time we were in there. After bringing them home I realized why they were so special. It is because of an ornament of a mouse that we've had on our tree forever. (see picture below) I remember being little and always wanting to be the one who got to put him up. He may be a little worn and rough around the edges, but I love him just the same as any other year. Maybe even more! The way that his pipe cleaner tail is worn off is so charming! I don't think Mom understands how sentimental we are about some of the things on the tree. I’m looking forward to having something just as adorable on my own tree someday.
