I call it the ornament belt. If it wasn't weighting the branches down so much, I might have left it! Oh and those cute little present ornaments? They just couldn't stand not knowing what was inside.... oh well. Presents were meant to be opened, right?
And what tree is complete without a S'more Man?
This ornament is an antique, I'm sure. I remember putting it on our tree as a kid. She reminds me of the claymation Christmas movies!

If it weren't for good friends who help me out so much my daughter never would have had the chance to make her first "gingerbread" house!
I was out getting the last few things for another gingerbread activity I was in charge of that night, while they did this!I was completely stressed out prepping for about 20 teenagers to make houses too - but I was totally happy with how everything ended up working out. They had a lot of fun and were so creative! I mean really, check it out!
Two castles and a mansion complete with Hershey's kiss bell tower!

We had a great showing for Sew & Tell on Friday! I'm still working on last weeks posts - I promise I'll get to them! I have a 4 year old's birthday party to plan for tomorrow and a few more other things to get done this week. I really need to get some sewing done! Would you be shocked to know I have another bag to make? Are you sick of seeing my bags yet? I also have a dress to make for my daughter....
What are you planning on sharing this Friday? Remember this is our last one until after the first of the year! And then we'll have a gift reveal extravaganza!!

I love the gingerbread houses! Now I want to go make one!! :)
Ooh! Looks like you had lots of fun! Yay!
wow! when can I move in to one of those houses Amy? I think it'd be fun to be able to eat my way through the walls instead of walking through the doorway like a normal person.
The houses are looking great!
We also used to make gingerbread houses when I grew up, and I made them with my daughter. It is so much fun, except for the melted sugar we used to glue the parts together. Maybe grandson is old enough to decorate now, he's 2 1/2..
Wow those came out great! My daughter made one last year and when it came time to eat it, she was upset because of all the hard work she put into it. :o(
The gingerbread castle looks great!
Wow, those are really creative gingerbread houses! I wish we could see you guys before we leave town ... hopefully we can get together sometime near your bday. :)
LOL, we have an ornament belt, too. Those gingerbread houses turned out fantastic!!
