It turns out that we have so many handmade ornaments from Christmas parties past that there was nowhere on the tree to put our store-bought glass ball ornaments from last year. Rather than pitch them or store them for another year, I really wanted to find a new way to use these. They were so pretty!

A while back, I ran across a tutorial for making these sweet ornament trees, but now I can’t remember where! If it was your project, please let me know…I would love to credit you!

EDIT
The original tutorial was on Indie Fixx! Head on over for the complete deets and some lovely pictures of Jen’s version!

Growing up, we called the one at my folks’ house a Hanukkah Bush, and I still top my tree with a Star of David made from shiny blue and gold pipe cleaners, preschool style.

Last night, Dave and I spent a few hours carving the pumpkin and hanging decorations! OK, actually, I drew on the pumpkin and Dave carved it while I hung decorations.

Dave is getting really awesome at carving! Check out our Cat-o-Lantern:

The plan this year was to have all handmade decorations along with a ton of gourds great and small, and things are coming along so well! I think my favorite decoration so far was also the simplest. Behold: BAT LAMP:
