Tis the Season to Deck the Halls with Lego Ornaments! At my house, we love Lego everything. My husband and I started our Lego collection when we were newly weds.

It's been that way for us for the last 18 years and we love it. Now our kids want in on the fun too! We sat down with our pile of Lego pieces and all came up with Christmas tree ornaments that are easy to build. You can basically look at the picture and figure it out.

You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch! I love the Dr. Seuss story "How the Grinch Stole Christmas". I even love all three movie adaptations. Honestly, I love the newest, The Grinch Movie the most. I love the end when he is invited to dinner and realizes that he didn't hate Christmas, he just hated being alone. He toasts "To kindness and love, the things we need most!" If ever this was true, it's today. This year, 2020, has been lonely and isolating to so many people.

How to Make a Handwriting Ornament with Sublimation Turn a loved ones handwriting into a treasured ornament using sublimation. When a person passes away, everything they worte, said or made becomes a treasure. My mom passed away from cancer in January 1998 and I decided to turn her handwriting into ornaments this year. I scoured through all my old notes, pictures and papers to find the perfect sample of her writing. I found the last line in a letter she wrote me, when she knew she was going to die, and it was such a wonderful letter legacy.

That's it!


I love the handwriting ornament with my mom's writing on it.


I love the cotton blossoms from our 2 years of living in Alabama.
