Christmas Crafting

Am I your Secret Santa? One of the items is to be a handmade decoration. I thought I'd make something I haven't made in while, so I got to work on these this afternoon. They turned out quite nice, I think. I was very careful not to get any paint on the new counter top, but it was nice to have a nice empty uncluttered space to work on. So far I have been true to my word of "no more clutter" on the counter tops.

Your Christmas ornaments look great! We did that as our craft project last year at our family holiday get together, and everyone loved it - adults and kids alike. I was so surprised by how lovely they all turned out.

We just decorated our tree yesterday (yes, we love the holidays so it goes up real early)... I have one of those ornaments like the ones you made, and it is one of my favorites. I have no idea how you do it, but I love them!

Lovely ornaments. I love the getting ready for Christmas as much as the actual event. Sorry for your crummy work week. I hope this week is better.
