The sewing/computer room is where I have my hand painted Memory tree this year.
The 'Little Boy' on the right is my son, Benjamin, painted in 1999.
The blue and gold sequined ball is the oldest ornament I have made.
December 1964.......I was 16 years old.
Each ball holds a special significance for that particular year.
1997 was our first trip to Canada....Amber competed in a Synchronized swim meet.
Some are ball size versions of larger paintings I did that year.
The Patriotic Snow Man was from a Christmas card Summer gave me.
I painted dozens of ornaments like this one done on a block of wood.
They will soon be hanging on my Snow Man tree out in the gazebo!
I love this draped Cypress wreath....
This Christmas Candle was done on a tea box in 2001.
Amber and Benjamin painted ones like this for an art project when we were homeschooling.
Perhaps I should take Amber's to her this week when we visit her new home!
Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmas-time.

Beautiful ornaments Linda. They are painted with so much feeling. I must say, they can't be that easy to paint on. You are very talented! Susan :)
