I’d like to share with you….

a hand-painted Rudolph.

This little guy has such a silly face…he makes me giggle. This was another of my ornaments I made around our first Christmas as a married couple.

My old plastic accordion coupon file just wasn’t working for me anymore.

This tin had sat in an un-altered state for a couple years then with the Alcohol Inks in a haphazard ugly fashion for at least another year.

I was finally inspired enough to do something about the eyesore.

I think it turned out really cute. Just because it’s utilitarian doesn’t mean it has to be boring.

I’d like to share with you….

a favorite from my childhood days.

My mom made this one from a kit. My daughter fell in love with it this summer while going through the Christmas boxes from my folks house. I knew then and there it was a keeper!


I’d like to show to you….

an ornament I painted to celebrate our new white kitten. We got her a couple months after we got married. A short time later we discovered that she was deaf. Her name was Scooter even though she never knew it. She was my baby…I took her everywhere! Seriously! I remember taking her to DQ and sharing an ice cream with her…in the car, of course.

I made this recycled CD ornament for my husband 2 years ago as his Chiristmas card. It worked double duty as an ornament.

I wanted to share some of the ornaments on our tree. The vast majority of the ornament’s I’ve made, are from my childhood or hold some other significance in our lives. There are a few “filler” pieces but hopefully I’ll weed those out over time.


On the first day of Christmas I’d like to share with you…
the first ornament I ever made. This God’s eye ornament was made in VBS (vacation Bible school) MANY, MANY YEARS AGO!

When I got married…nearly 16 years ago, my mom passed along several of my favorite ornaments from my childhood. A couple of these will be shared during this series.

For December, UHU sent me some glass beads, magnets and twist & glue to create some more glass bead magnets.

These glass beads were about 1/2 the size as the ones I had previously used. It was fun finding different words and pictures to use with this size.

Go check out the other design team members magnets as well on the UHU blog.
