    These Grinch ornaments make me smile. I just love how different each one turned out. I made the white one, then Ruby and Mac made the yellow and blue ones---and let's be honest, they blew it out of the water.

    That little face on the yellow ornament is so dang cute! Reminds me of the Grinch when he was a child in the movie. These thumbprint Grinch were SO easy to make. Add a name and date on the back and it's a darling little keepsake to hang on the Christmas tree.
