Favorite Ornament

I have plenty of ornaments gathered from travels, and I enjoy placing them on the tree.  But this (paper) tin soldier made from a toilet paper roll is my favorite. Kevin brought it home a long time ago (he's 33 now). It has stood the test of time, and sums up a lot of Christmas joy.

  5. Come to think of it, we might still have a picture of a dove that I coloured in in primary school. It was my favourite ornament because it showed an extraordinary ability to colour inside the lines.

  6. It's very impressive looking, not to mention the sentimental value. So much love in that little soldier.
    Broad hugs. I hope you're well, Joanne.

  7. Really? I admire people who can turn trash into something artistic like this. Nice!

    Happy holidays!
