Besides our large Christmas tree full of homemade and travel ornaments, every
year I put up a smaller tree in my dining room. This tree has
evolved and changed themes and decorations somewhat over the years.
It started out as a nature tree. Then I started mixing in cardinals (our
state bird), which then led me to make the tree a Nature Ohio tree.
I have added buckeyes, cardinals, morel
mushrooms, pine cones, bird nests, and various other things that can
be found in and around our state.
We started a Crafting Circle and have an ornament exchange with
family and friends every year, so I decided to make an Ohio flag as a Christmas
ornament.
