When we put up our tree the other night Jack was very bothered that there was no star to put on top. We had a star when we first got married but it was a hand me down from when I was a little girl and it was on its last leg when we got it. I think it lasted maybe 2 Christmas with us. I've looked every year for a new star, but can't seem to find one that I really like.
Sunday night I told Jack we would load up the car and go to Target to look for a star and if we didn't find one we liked we would make one. They didn't have much of a selection so we headed to the art isle and bought poster board and glitter. When we got home I cut out a star and put glue all over it. Jack spread the glue out with a paintbrush then I let him loose with the glitter. He had a great time and is SO PROUD of the star he made. Any time anyone comes over it's the first thing he shows them. Of course, in my opinion, there isn't a better star in any store for our tree this year!

The prettiest star I have ever seen! You will never be ever to buy one that will mean more than this one.

Jack,.... awesome art work on the star you made. I think it is BEAUTIFUL! Did your dad lift you up so you could put it on top of the tree. That is my son, Benjamin's job every year.... to put the star on top of the tree. It really is a very nice star... awesome job Jack. Merry Christmas!
