Christmas Ornaments Crafts

I love seeing people's Christmas trees that are decorated in themes, especially those in certain colors, my favorites being blue and silver. 

But that will never be our Tree!

We have too many sentimental and handmade ornaments, and I like to add to those each year.  One tradition we started for Carter was an ornament for each year that symbolized something from that year: a frog (preschool mascot one year), a baseball (first year of sports), a guitar (his latest passion) and so on.  We also have the normal "baby's first Christmas" and "our new house" ornaments.  I can't imagine having a tree without all of these memories!

I'm headed to the craft store to finally get some ideas going for some new ones this year, and also plan a craft for the MOPS meeting this week.  This is the idea I want to do, if I can find the spheres:
