I found out it's hard taking a picture of one of these becasue of the glare affect but here it is.

New penny,

Cool! Did you use tweezers to get the plants in? Cool idea!

Thanks for sharing.

New Penny,
I really liked your idea, so when I came across this big Christmas ball I couldn't resist! My picture is not too great because of the reflections, but I actually found some very small pottery to plant in it too. It has Irish moss, creeping Jenny, blue lobelia, and wolly thyme in the pot.
This was a lot of fun, and I'll be giving some for Christmas this year~thanks for sharing your great idea!

I bought the balls at a local sports shop, they have a toy and craft section in there basement. I bought these on closeout after Christmas a couple of years ago. They've been sitting in a closet wating for me to do something with them. I was going to plant mini terrariums in them last year but never got around to it. A few days ago someone posted saying they had made mini terrariums in Christmas balls. I dug to the bottom of the closet and found mine and used voluntear mosses and baby plants from around my house to plant them. I went to a craft store yesterday and looked at 4" clear balls but the quality was so poor I didn't buy any. I guess I'll stick with these realy mini ones. :-) I think you can see what size then are in the picture where I'm holding one in my hand. The one where the top is on the ball. Take care, Penny

Jane, you are so right about me adding since I joined all of you enablers. I've already changed out some on the tops of the cabinets with some new things I came across. Also found a couple more gr trees for the table. Will try to share more pictures some time. Nana, glad you found this post and nice to hear you'll be back to look again. With my work schedule I doubt if I'll be changing out much of it this Holiday Season. Calico, I bought the green last year after Christmas and just started my decorating with it this year. I've enjoyed the change and I'm sure you would too. Karen, you made a wise choice to get the sweet Santa Nutcracker w/bag full of toys. That was a fast transaction and ship on it. Maybe the other one will come back with less shipping charges later. They were expensive at Costco when they came out. Thanks for all the sweet comments. Wish I had more time for decorating this month but it's not going to happen. Punk

Ummmm...this post is from Dec. 1st & today is Dec. 12th ...& am still decorating! Well, I miss a day now & then to go shopping or do a little volunteer work ...I think it's about time to put the 'totes away' & call it good! Time to wrap pkgs & work on some Christmas gifts...LOL! Anyway, for Jane...this is one of those 'remote control' candles WORKING again this yr! I thought you would be pleased to know that ...cause you use them so beautifully on your mantle. I need a couple more hurricanes for the other 2 sizes ...but here's a pic of my Winter Platzgraff wine glasses & goblets (both thrift shop finds!) Jeanne

Hi Trudi,

I really like your little terrarium. Could you tell us the dimensions of the Christmas ball and where you found it?
