Well here is the picture
It's really nothing special but I liked the way she used the canning jar lid to make these and I wanted to buy one so I would remember how she did it and maybe make some of my own.
Years ago, when my kids were growing up, I used to give each of them a new ornament every year. That stopped for some reason when they got older but other than that I've never had a tradition of buying a new ornament every year.

I can't wait to see the one YOU make! I know they will be even cuter!
I agree with Ginny, and I think you were smart to buy it to remind you of the idea.
I really like this idea. And, I'm happy to see what you bought, knowing you'll make some with your talented gift of crafting. I have dozens of ornaments that once was a tradition in a way...representing family members (like a US Marine tin soldier for son, etc. Stopped buying them & they remain packed (glass plus kitten don't mix)
That is a cute ornament and I look forward to your makes. ^^
It's fun to make new memories every year.....I started to write every day! heehee! Holiday hugs!
I too love seeing what you bought. And that is a great idea. Wondering what the back side looks like niw.
good idea to buy it as a pattern to remember by. I am thinking you could make these even prettier... I see it has your snowman on it... when I see snowmen I think of you and your collection....
That definitely looks like something YOU would create.
I used to buy ornaments each year for my kids so that when they left home and had a family of their own, they had plenty of ornaments (and memories) to start their new life. I only buy new ornaments when I find something cute. We usually have a really big tree, so there is plenty of room.
I love that ornament. I love the tradition of a new ornament each year.
Have a fabulous day, Ann. Big hug to you and lots of scritches to Gibbs. ♥♥♥
Those are adorable!! I made some many years ago as gifts and I actually screwed them on a ball jar full of mini candy canes instead of the ornament idea. Love it!! HUGS
I have to buy at least one new ornament every Christmas. I can't resist and probably would buy 25 of them if I could!
Ginny, I may not get around to it this year. I already have several unfinished projects
CheerfulMonk, my sister in law used to always do that and I thought it was a great idea
Anni When I was putting all my ornaments on the tree I chose mostly the ones that were either hand made or gifts. I realized that there were a lot of them that I know were given to me but I couldn't remember by who or when
Grace, my signature style...lol
Lin I started that a long time ago with my kids too. They each had their own tree to put up in their rooms and I gave them usually a hand made ornament every year. I stopped when they got older. I should have kept doing it.
Sandee, I think most years I add a new one either that was a gift or one that I made. I've got way too many ornaments for the tree I have though
Ann That's a great idea too.
definitely a great idea...even if you use the perserving jar top in another way...
Cute..
It's a cute ornament. Have fun making some!
