Christmas Wrapping

I attended a Christmas Party for one of my art groups last night. We met at Macaroni Grill in Plano, TX. to exchange gifts and visit.  The food was wonderful as always. The gifts were fabulous as always to. We just know what each other likes! This photo is the boxes I decorated for each lady and put all their gifts inside. Well there were a few things that would not fit inside. LOL So I had to wrap them separately.

These are some corsage pins I added beads to. They were part of the ladies gifts. I did the sheet they are sticking in on the computer digitally. The items were from a kit I bought from Ronna Farrer http://rhonnadesigns.blogspot.com/ . She has great stuff.

This photo shows the packages I made to hold the pins. Made from lunch sacks. Easy stuff! Found this on a YouTube video by Roben Marie Smith http://www.robenmarie.com/ .

This photo is another one of the items I made the ladies. Glass jars with chipboard bases by Melissa Francis. I found the animals at Michael's, and the trees at Hobby Lobby. I bleached the trees and then added glitter and mica to them. That was fun! Of course I have tinsel and glitter all over my house now.
