As promised

Just real quick, I have things to do (like be at work on time):

Because I usually let the kiddos decorate with their things first, and our tree has been small, I have not gotten to put up my special things in awhile. I only got close ups of a couple of them. I thought I had more, but guess not. Oh, and though I might have gotten to put some on because of the tree being so big, that is not why. We cannot find the box with the kid's ornaments. I mean they each have a shoe box full, and they are all gone. This includes my angel, but not Santa...

I love these antique "old world" bulbs:

And my mom made this one for me. I would have put up the paper ornaments, but they need to sit quietly in the box to retain their life...

And because I know you all want to know, is he there....

I just had to make do with the angel. She is an ornament from a hankie that a child gave me years ago as a present. I wrapped a paper towel roll in white tissue paper, and , well, um, stuck it in , well um , a convenient place. Now, Santa has something to think about, and I have a tree topper.
