sweet.
I made birdhouse ornaments from cut up paintings.

Oh they are sooo cute!! What a great idea!

some one made some for me and gave me the pattern.
They are harder to make these days. Lots of glue drips. The eyes are going.

For sure!

really nice jo!

Love them, JoAnn! Very creative!

Very nice, Jo!

Amazing, Allison!

Put the lights and garland up. I'll post a pic later. I like it as is!

Always the gardener, I found myself making 'proper cuts' as I trimmed the lower branches!

Enough exclamation marks!!!

Never too many exclamation marks, Victor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reminds me of Kassia!! ^_^

I posted about this in the past, but a great product to instantly remove that nasty sticky goo from the tree is Crazy Soap.

Those are so nice Ge, I love the colors!

Wow Allison, even though I knew it was big, you still wowed me again! ^_^

thanks guys... Randy did good right??

love the bird houses JoAnn!!

Yeah, me too! I wish she'd stop in here now and then. I miss her.

Yep, Randy did good....but he had a great helper, Allison! Glad you got the tree done, Victor....it's almost Christmas!

Here's the night shot of our tree

very pretty Jen... very classy

Very classy and sparkly, Jen!

Thanks. Amazing I already got some wrapping done for my bro and sil and nephews and their girlfriends and wives.

Nice Jen!

Pretty Jen!

Looks good Jen!!

I'm really enjoying looking at our tree this year. It's in a much better location for one thing, and I like the LED lights. I'm finished shopping except I have to give some tips still (hairdresser, dog groomer, lawn guys, paper gal, etc.) There was a piece on TV about how much you should tip. I'm not sure I agree with some of the levels of tips they mentioned. I don't think there should be a pat formula. I give them what I can afford depending on how well they do things and how reliable they are. Of course, I could give them more when we were working, but I still like to acknowledge workers with whatever I can do, and then I just don't worry about it. Most get a 20% tip throughout the year anyway. What do you guys think about tipping formulas?

I give what I can....retired and living on one pension is difficult....at least these folks are still working.

15%, if she's pretty and smiles then 20%.

we went to go see this display last night.... WOW is all I have to say
