Day 8

Day eight of our 12 Days of Christmas ornament swap shows off Terry's mixed media ornament! Very festive. Take a peek!

 This is a beautiful mixed media ornament that a dear friend of mine created for me this Christmas. My tree is bursting with hand made wonders!

Day 7

Day seven was created by Janet Moss! She made a little angel that is created from lots of different vintage pieces, including an old jello mold, a bobbin, spool of thread etc. Vintage and fun! Take a peek! Her wings are pink and you have a hard time seeing them on my pink tree, but look close and you will see them against the white tissue paper.

See her wings?

Thank you Janet!

Day 3

We are on Day 3! Are you excited???

This ornament was created by Christine. She actually created the snowflake itself. It feels and sounds like it is made of baked clay. In the back it is etched with her initials. It is then painted and collaged and glitzed up with some sparkles! :)

Day 2

Today is the second day of the 12 Days of Christmas ornament swap that I am involved in.
Number 2 is Barbara Posey!
Here we goooooooo......

Barb created a sweet hand felted snow man head and hat! He is adorable and his face is very endearing! He is sweetly hanging on my tree.

12 Days of Christmas

Hello everyone.
I am involved in a 12 Days of Christms ornament swap.
So, that means, 12 gals have handmade little ornaments, all of us assigned a number and we make 12, and the swap hostess sends one of each to each person, and for 12 Days starting today, we open them and hang them on our tree. So, here goes.
Here is a picture of ALL 12 precious packages. (I am number 4).
I opened Day One and that was from Alice Early. She made a little birds nest lined with buttons and a wire bead hanger. Enjoy viewing and thanks Alice.

Making some Holiday cookies! :)
Here are our Christmas Fish and trees.
What--fish? Yup, you read it right. If you are from a hunting/fishing family, then fish and deer fit any season! :)

You will see the process here. Thanks for taking a sweet peek. I still have to do the stars! Ran out of energy and time. Hooooooohooooooo, ohhhhhhh well. :)
I have been looking at some inspirational sites online that decorate cut outs and they are amazing.
These are nothing compared to those I have seen! Check out these two sites. Consider your mind blown!!!!!

Today, I made a small tree skirt for Amber's work at the newspaper. They put their tree up last week and do not have a skirt. So, I put the name of both papers on it and made a little ruffle from some canine newspaper print fabric that I had! Too funny right?? Since all the stories on the ruffle are about dogs, I guess Rufio thought it was his to lay on! :) We did not let him stay there long.
