Look what I got for Christmas!! A Tim
Holtz Vagabond!!
Whooo Hooo!!! I took it out of the box but have only had time to run an embossing folder through it just to see how it works. Can't wait to have more time to play with it.
My friend Jeanne made this wonderful crown for me out of felt. Isn't it the cutest thing you have ever seen?
My friend Carla who will tell you she is not crafty (but she can be when she wants to) made this wreath. She surprised me and made several this season as gifts for family and friends. She did a great job!
I saw this idea on another blog and I am so sorry because I can't give credit where I saw it. I thought is was a cute idea. I made them for the ladies in one of my art groups. Just get the clear ornaments and fill with buttons. The cool thing though about them is, and you probably can't see it from these photos, but I took the cap off the ornament and pulled out the wire from the cap. Ran the wire through a button then put it back in the cap and then back inside the ornament. Really cute! I then tied lace and
ric rac on the cap. Glued a button over the knot.
My friend
Melody made this ornament. Love it! The bird inside the cage is so sweet.
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.
