This is a sad post for me. When Texasblu was little I made salt dough figures for ornaments. One year I did a collection of Wizard of Oz and various other characters that she loved. When we moved to the country, they were in storage. I nearly cried the following Christmas when I pulled out the box and found a mouse had gnawed in and destroyed most of the figures. We always enjoyed making Salt Dough Figures. It was a regular craft for the holidays when the children were little. Here is a recipe if you want to try making some with your family

Later my aunt crocheted some ornaments for each of the children and I bought a porcelain "Holly Baby" Angel for each of the children. I had two accidents one of which was irreversible and to purchase a second one.
As we were blessed with grandchildren, I couldn't find Holly Baby Angel ornaments but was blessed to find a pattern for ornaments and made one for each of my first four grandchildren.
They have all been given to my family except for the original 6 porcelain figures which are on the mantel.
I have not put up a tree since the Hero died. My children put up my mothers prelighted, decorated tree to cheer up the house.
This year maybe I will help and add some ornaments.
