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.
These are so easy!! I punched some scrap text that had been painted with various shades of green. I drew a circle around a yogurt cup then ran a bead of UHU twist & glue around the circle. Place the punches around, tie a little bow, attach with more UHU twist & glue and your done!
I think I like the gingham bow the best…
Not being Catholic, I had to look up what the medal meant when I found it. It’s called the Miraculous Metal.
Here’s a little blurb from the site I looked it up on.
There is no superstition, nothing of magic, connected with the Miraculous Medal. The Miraculous Medal is not a “good-luck charm”. Rather, it is a great testimony to faith and the power of trusting prayer. Its greatest miracles are those of patience, forgiveness, repentance, and faith.
The hummingbird also has powerful meaning in her life.
I hope she likes the colors I’ve choosen.
I confess, I procrastinate. BIG TIME. Lucky for me, I work fast under pressure.
I recently found this choker necklace at a thrift store and had to have it. Of course, I hate chokers. Heck, I can’t even stand a turtleneck collar but I saw the potential of it being repurposed.
Now after my quick change up I have a necklace and pair of earrings. Only then did I realize that one of my earring holes had partially grown closed…OUCH!
