Scavenger Hunt Ornaments

I realize that I'm probably the sole individual in blog-land still posting about Christmas, but these ornaments orchestrated by Mother were just too darling not to share.
Mother purchased a plastic ball ornament and bedazzled initial stickers for each grand while we were down South celebrating.  We then went out into the yard to gather up things to stuff in the ornaments.  The PCP went to great lengths to collect curly bark from the river birch. (That is a river birch, right??  Have I ever mentioned that nature and I don't really click, try as I might.)
Laden with treasures of bark, moss, feathers, shells and leaves, we went to work stuffing the ornaments.  Mimi also helped the the littles funnel in some sparkly snow (you know, since we sure didn't find any of that outside.)
When they were done poking, shoving and funneling, we snapped the tops on and adhered the initial stickers. And they turned out absolutely adorable...so much better than I ever imagined.  They were FUN to make and will be a great memory of our holiday in Savannah.  I would really love to have a whole tree of these beauts...
Come to think of it, not only am I still blogging about Christmas, but I also have trees up all over my house and wreaths on every window.  I kinda like that Catholics don't take their decor down until after the Epiphany.  Gives me a grand excuse for my after the holidays slump.
