Sparkly Things!

 Just a few more days until Christmas!

As promised in my last post, here is a more detailed photo of the winter wreath I made in Karla Nathan's class.  I can't wait to make more!

I have been saving these pretty beaded flowers (purchased from French General) and finally found the perfect project to use them in!

And here are my beautiful ornaments from the holiday ornament swap that took place last Saturday...

~ A gorgeous glittery reindeer ~

~ A sweet little "elf" riding a birdie ~

~ Such a beautiful collection of ornaments ~

I love them all!

I made this fabric book for my friend LuLu.  She tends to go for "the darker side" and not so much of the pink fluff-stuff!  I knew I couldn't go wrong with black!  It's a fabric folder to hold all her favorite postcards and photos in!  She's opened it and she loves it! 

Here it is open.

The countdown is on and Phoebe keeps hearing the name "Romeo" (my mom's dog and her buddy) and soon she will get to see him!

I have to stop playing with my dolls and glitter and handle all the last minute things that need tending to before the big day!  I hope you're all enjoying the week. 

Thank you to all of you who have been so sweet and visited me during the year.  Your friendship means a lot.

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah!

Cheers!

Holly

Your wreath is gorgeous Holly! And those beaded flowers from French General are perfect. Looks like you had a lovely art swap with your friends and your black gift for your friend is stunning.
Have a great trip with Phoebe.
