Because Noah loves to put up the Christmas Tree early, and because I love him, we have our tree up already......as of Tuesday. I'm not complaining. It's fun. We're hip. We're starting a trend.
Since the boys destroy almost anything that hangs on the tree, last year I didn't even hang ornaments. This year - - - I improvised. I'm just gonna own it: I am not crafty. My crafty genes are unrecognizable. My medium is food. If I can bake it, cook it, eat it, or count the calories of it, then I might have a chance at creation. But I found these cool ornaments on design sponge, and thought, "Seriously, yo' mamma (that's my witty blog alias), you can do this! You can work a pair of scissors and a stapler." Take a gander. Become inspired. Then copy me. You don't even have to give me credit. Tell everyone you thought of it on your own. Take a peak.

How About Now From a Super Cool Angle?
Or Would You Prefer To Admire It in a Group?
Perhaps a Close Up Grouping?
Or is Extreme Close Up More of Your Thing?
How About Black and White? That's Always a Winner, yeah?
I tried to cover all visual blogging preferences. So, I hope I convinced you to make construction paper ornaments. Run along now. I've got to go to bed.

Hi! You don't know me, but I know you. Your brother (Scott) is my bishop, I also know Austin, andddd we met a long long time ago in YSA institute. Seems like forever ago. Anyways. I have lurked on your blog before and I thought I would say hi and that your boys are cute and that i love these ornaments. They rock and you rock too!!!!
You are cracking me up! You are a funny lady. One year I just made a ton of paper snow falkes and hung them on there and wrapped silver pipe cleaners around a pencil to make shiny curly thinggers. Home made is the way to go! These look great too!
(and you're giving cally a run for her money on the photo editing!)
I am totally thinking about starting to decorate too! Let the fun begin!
I see keepsakes in the making! Lovely!
I love them!!! I love putting up my Christmas tree early as well. Sadly this year I don't think I am going to put up a tree :( My curious little one will pull it over for sure. I will let her indulge in her curiosity at grandma's house. Heh! Heh!
Humm... maybe I should anchor it to the ceiling like little old cat loving ladies do. Just a thought.
what's in the weather to put the tree up early? it's been eating at me to put up my tree, especially as I drool over your amazing ornaments (you should sell them like everyone else in the blogging world). Seriously, they look really good. So much fun. Where do you get such great talent?
Katie, you are priceless. I've never seen SuWeeter border effects in all of blogdom.
you are not giving yourself enough credit. at our next sewing hang i'll show you my homemade ornaments if i can get watson to get my trees out. Oh and i'm one Noah's tree lovin bandwagon. i don't decorate this early but i love me some christmas trees!
Katie, that's awesome! I think I might copy that idea. I asked Trav the other day if we could put up our tree. I love Christmas.
