DIY Christmas Ornaments Straight from my Tree...And My Favorite Tree Decorating Snack

Last year I stole/borrowed/was given a box of ornaments from my Mom's house.  They feature many ornaments from my childhood as well as several homemade ornaments.   Here are a few.

The handmade sleigh, made from popsicle sticks...

Here is the lovely ornament I made last year by covering a clear ornament with tissue paper and a glue/water mixture...

Many years ago my mom made a bunch of these needlepoint ornaments...

And here is my favorite...the wooden frame with my face picture in it.  What a great smile I have.  And nice girl scout uniform I'm wearing...

I didn't make this ornament but it's currently one of my faves.  I demanded that we get some sort of Christmas ornament when we were on our honeymoon in Hawaii so we got this pineapple.  I like it...

Whenever I decorate the Christmas tree, I always like to enjoy a nice bowl of Chex Mix.  I pretty much just follow the recipe from the box.  I just used cashews (instead of mixed nuts) and pretzels (no bagel chips) and only 2 types of Chex (instead of the recommended 3) this time.

How is your Christmas tree? 

Do you make any ornaments?

Do you have any traditions (like Chex mix) for tree decorating night?

PS-And no, Chex did not sponsor this blog but when I was reading back through it the last part sounds a little like a commercial for Chex.
