"Every year I paint a special, unique ornament for each member of my family. I never do the same one twice. I also paint one for the ornament exchange at our church. This was my ornament for last years contest, and ironically, my mom won it! This ornament is one of my favorites that I have painted. It is an exciting part of my year when I lock myself in my room every day for weeks, turn on the Christmas music, and start my ornament painting! Now, my ornaments are the first ones we put on the tree every Christmas."

This is beautiful. I have a friend who is a fabulous painter - she uses photographs to paint clients' pets and homes on glass ornaments. It's just a beautiful thing to do.
