A frog king with wings., holding a gilt oak leaf.

















A court jester. I have a few of these in different types and sizes.

















A banjo-playing frog, also one of a pair.
















The snowman is the oldest ornament I have. It was my mother's and she bought it in the 40's. It is one of the earliest examples of plastic ornaments. He has a hole in his side to hold a candy cane.

Wow it all looks great! You've done a great job! Must be nice to concentrate on your own decorating after doing so much for others!

I love Santa in the High Chair! Hilarious!

As I told Naomi (OOLOTH), I love it when ornaments have meaning... I give my kids one ornament every year, so we have a tree FULL of memories!

I love your ornaments - such fun! I have always had a soft spot for frogs too :-)

Your staircase looks fantastic - very festive!

I relate to your jester. I need one like that to represent me, but an old tired worn out jester would be more appropriate.

i think you're the first person i've "met" that collects frogs....how did that come about? very cute ornaments! and the switch to beta seems to have gone smoothly- i was having major problems before i switched.

Holy Christmas!
Love it.
Love the frog with wings, I like ornaments that are a little out of the oridnary, and am always glad to see trees that have a lifetime worth of ornaments. I never much cared for the trendy trees that all have monochromatic boring balls.

Oh Judy, these are wonderful...! I love the one that Mr. Kemju gave you...well, truth be told...I love all of them! The two Frogs Hugging---that is a little work of art!
Your hiuse looks very very festive!

srp said...

Oh, no! No one would expect you to have frogs anywhere on your tree! I would imagine you would have a special tree just for the frogs..... now you need a frog tree topper!

I'm not surprised your house is decorated looking like House Beautiful magazine. It's just stunning, Judy. You're so talented and creative.
