Here's my first creation of the evening... a Christmas Chicken!

A one-eyed sun by Jen.

And a one-eyed spider by Martha.

A little mouse, by Ben B.

A Vegas-style showgirl ornament by Martha's mother.

And a house by Martha's mother as well.

Ben made this "real-looking" ornament, but if you look closely it does have googley-eyes.

Ben B. and Martha, the host and hostess hard at work.

I guess I had a lazy ornament evening, because my only other contribution was this Saturn ornament. I used up all my creative juices on the chicken.

Another one by Ben B. I thought perhaps this was going to be a Madonna-themed ornament, but then he glued more cones on.

Here's a cool one by Ben B. He said it was a pain in the butt, but it does look good.

A very colorful butterfly by Jen.

Martha's Santa.

I'm not sure who made this one. It looks sort of like a troll doll.

A festive worm, and then an Earth (not quite geographically accurate, but very nice-looking!) by Jen.

Martha made this crazy-lipped thing.

And here's the whole tree!

Martha and her mother, who was visiting from Denver.
