They look great Monti! I set up a small tree every year and decorate it with handmade wooden ornaments that I have exchanged with folks from all over the world.

I do the same Dan.  Knew we had a lot in common.  ;)

Way to go Monti, those are very nice looking ornaments. For over ten years now, we've had a 7 foot tree decorated with homemade ornaments. They're all scroll sawn, and they are all made from 9 different types of wood. I have about 160 of the ornaments, and each year I add new ones. And because of adding new ones each year, I'm forced to retire some of the older ones. When I retire an old one, one of my two daughters will claim it after a bit of arguing on who should get that one. It's usually settled by who got the previous one to be retired, they are only young women  36&38 , but it's amazing how quickly they can forget who got the one the previous year. lol

Nice work - like the hearts. Our family stopped giving gifts to anyone over 18, my Mom always gave her nieces & nephews a little something so they knew she was thinking of them.  I have kept that tradition and always send my nieces & nephews an ornament, just to let them know that I think of them.
